Your so "Dwell"

After a highly disappointing fabric shopping trip with my mother I decided to hit the internet in search of a fabric that would quicken my heart. Low in behold I stumbled across this blog Create Girl and be still my beating heart..... I fell in love.

It's a Robert Allen for Dwell Studio print called Gate and I have to have it! The only problem, it's not been released yet and I have no idea how much it costs :(

This is the vision I had in my head. This is the print I want. It's scheduled to be released in early August......that's tomorrow :) All the Dwell Studio prints are loveable, but I HEART this one!

*This is me secretly wishing it will be affordable

Summer Veggie Tart

I saved this recipe back a couple months ago. It was in the June issue of Family Fun Magazine. I knew I would have an abundance of Summer Squash and be looking for something new to do with it. This recipe was SO GOOD! Even Brad ate it and that's saying something!

Summer Veggie & Pesto Tart

1pkg piecrust

2TBS EVOO

1 small Zucchini

1 small Yellow Squash
Kernels cut from 1 ear of sweet corn

Salt/Pepper

2 TBS Pesto

2oz goat cheese/cream cheese

1 egg

10 cherry tomatoes

sprinkle of parmesan cheese

450 degrees for 25 minutes.

Because I'm Crazy

Why not start a 2nd project before I've finished the 1st? Brad's grandma gave us this little wooden table and chairs when Dane was born. Uh, Yeah. I realize that was over 2 years ago but Brad had put them above the garage and I'd forgotten about them.

I think it will be perfect for Dane's fort so I started stripping off the paint on Sunday. I only got 2 chairs done and it took me 3 1/2 hours! I ran out of stripper and it ate the end of my scraper up so I need to buy another one.

My original thought was to stain them, but I'm not sure. I think a good sanding and a coat paint and I might call it a day.

Here's the table base, I think it's just so cute! The top is in pretty rough shape, not sure it can be saved. Brad's mentioned making a new top for it.
