Scenes from a Weekend

How is your weekend going friends?  Are you making the most out of your days?  We're having quiet little weekend over at Casa L&J.  One of my office dogs, Coco, has been staying with us while her mama is on a little holiday.  Gus is definitely having a few jealousy issues with another pup in his space but he's more curious and excited than anything.  Here's a shot of the two cuties hanging out together on top of J...

It's definitely given me a taste of what life would be like with another dog around if we ever want to add to our family!

I also recently picked my knitting needles back up after a four-year absence.  I don't know why I let them sit for so long but I was invited to a local knit night with some local gals, which I checked out on Thursday.  It was nice to sit and chat and be crafty.  I was so impressed with their speed and skill level...one day!  For now I will keep knitting and purling away on my little scarf project.  Hopefully it won't be another four years before it's done.  Do you like to knit?  Do you find it soothing and relaxing?

I've been battling an oncoming cold for the past few days, which is another reason I'm taking it easy this weekend.  But I am putting in a little bit of time on a few projects that I have on the go with Lather Creations.  I'm working on this chair for my good friend L, who saw the Spoonful of Yellow Flowers Bench and fell in love with the fabric.  Here's the before shot...I'll share after pics when it's done.  It's going to be a fabulous new addition to her kitchen's office nook!

I'm also working on this curvy side table.  I love the sexy legs on it and it's primed and ready to go (the pic was taken mid-prime)...just waiting for some colour inspiration!

And as promised, here are some pics of those 1960's wood veneer side tables I told you about on Facebook this week.  Thanks to B who was clearing out some old furniture and thought of me!  I love love the modern, clean lines and tapered legs on these pieces.  They are so versatile, they could be living room end tables or bedside tables, or you could put them together to make a fabulous dining room sideboard.  I see wine glasses on the lower level and crystal decanters and a serving tray on top! 

If you're interested in commissioning these pieces for your home, drop me a line at lhume1@mts.net.

So that's what I'm up to, how about you?  How are you enjoying this mid-November weekend?  I can't lie - with the beautiful weather we've been having, my Christmas shopping is at the back of my mind.  But I do plan to get on it this week!

Have a lovely day friends!
