I work in construction, and we put in a lot of hours every week. When it's the long weekend we always try to leave early on Fridays. I was able to leave at 3pm, and headed straight for home. My son had called me earlier to see if we could go thrifting. I love a good thrift shop, and we set out as soon as I got there. I picked up this lamp for $5. There was a tutorial on pinterest on painting them. I also bought a dress that I plan to overhaul, more on that later.

I used Krylon Dual paint and primer in satin ivory. The lampshade was purchased from Wal-mart, and yes I have seen all the tutorials on how to refurbish the ones from the thrift store, but didn't feel it was worth the time.
I also decided to make a trip to Windsor to go to the fabric store. Our store closed earlier this year. I am making a baby quilt for our eldest daughter's day care provider. The nursery is going to be gray, so I think I found the perfect fabric
I drove home and couldn't wait to get started on this, by the time I thought to take pictures I had already pieced it together. This is the finished product. I need to learn how to properly bind a quilt, and those corners, I might have said a bad work during that part.
That took up the first 2 days, one day left, I think I will spend it with my favorite teenage boy. The time is fast approaching when he will be leaving. I need to cram all the time I can.
