Aidan turns 1…..

Posted on January 1, 2014May 9, 2017 by Vintage Chic

Well actually he turned one on November 29th!

This kid has the most beautiful eyes and smile you could ever want. He’s just a ray of sunshine and a burst of wind! His energy is endless!

This is me and my daughter, Aidan’s mom. I am thankful every day that they are both here and healthy.

I love to kiss this little ham when he lets me! He’s so dam cute!

His mom loves hats and is always buying him a new one!

I am so lucky to have the cutest grandkids around!

He is one of my favorite subjects to have a photo shoot with!

Kisses anyone? Only 25 cents!

Our dog Sophie just loves these kids so much…..

She just can’t get enough!

It sure is exhausting being one!

Oh…wait maybe I meant for me, because this one takes a nap and is up and running again! Happy Birthday Aidan, Ma loves you sooo much!!!!

Bedroom Screen Door handmade

Posted on December 30, 2013May 9, 2017 by Vintage Chic

Finally got another project finished! Only took a couple of hours and wasn’t very hard to do.
My daughter in-law has two cats that love sleeping in my “almost” one year old grandsons crib, and since he wasn’t sleeping in it, it wasn’t that big of a deal.

Now we fast forward a few months and my daughter in-law and son are giving me grandchild number seven in a few weeks! No, they don’t have seven, this will be number two for them. Their first son will be one January 4th and the new baby is due the end of January, so the rush was on to figure out something to keep the cats out of the crib and still let the heat into the room because the only heat source is in the hallway!
I thought a screen door would be perfect so we went to Lowe’s to see if we could buy one. No such luck as the bedroom has a very small doorway, only about 24”x78”. So I decided to make my own. I went back to Lowe’s and purchased the things I thought I would need to build this screen door. 2- 1x4x10 Top Choice white pine boards and 2 packages of Stanley-National Hardware 3-in x 3-in Zinc T Plate and a package of Stanley-National Hardware 3-1/2-in Zinc Flat Brace. I already had a package of a Stanley-National Hardware Zinc Screen Door and Storm Door Set to use to attach the door to the frame. I also had taken the door down that’s usually there and used it as a guide to size the screen door correctly. Picture below shows the wood already cut and laid on top of the regular with brackets.

This is the package of the Stanley-National Hardware 3-in x 3-in Zinc T Plate.

This is an up close picture of the T bracket laid out on the frame from Lowe’s.

Here is a picture of the Stanley-National Hardware 3-1/2-in Zinc Flat Brace from Lowe’s.

This is an up close picture of the flat bracket from Lowe’s laid out on the frame.

And here is a picture of what was used for the handle and the hinges to attach the door to the frame, Stanley-National Hardware Zinc Screen Door and Storm Door also bought at Lowe’s.

Here is a picture of the door, un-painted, hung on the bedroom door frame! And if you look to the right of the picture you can see a little bit of that “baby bump”!

I think it came out pretty good and once it’s stained or painted it will look even better! Til next time….

It’s A BOY!!

While Mommy and Daddy were at the doctors having an ultra-sound done, and finding out we are expecting our first grandson in August, Jillian and I were having a photo shoot!

Meeting Talented Women

Posted on February 14, 2008 by Vintage Chic

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting a very talented woman who bought a crib from me. She needed the crib for a display she is setting up for the life like dolls she makes. You would think they are real live babies! So if you need a baby but don’t want to go thru all the pain, just call Suzanne to make you one! I will be posting a link to her website just as soon as she has it finished! In the meantime let me know if you need her information!
