I must stop doing everything on Sundays as I could use the extra day to rest up
before going back to work on Monday!
Got the house all cleaned on Sat so I could play
(or work, depending how you look at it!)
on Sunday! I got a wild hair and decided I wanted to paint things!
My last, loney bar stool died so I found an old pair in the garage
that were way too light in color so I painted
them a dark brown to match the home decor...
before & and after
Then I found a small wicker table a friend gave me years ago
and decided it needed a little pick me up too!
before and after...
I know it doesn't seem like much to you but imagine
what seemed like
150 degrees outside...
100% humidity...
no breeze...
How stupid were we?!! But it was well worth it!
I think...
I also finished my book!
The Aloha Quilt
I practically read the whole thing this weekend! I could not put it down!
I think of all the books in her series... this was my favorite!
If you didn't read any of her books, at least read this one, you will enjoy it!
I almost forgot...Saturday when out shopping, my sister-in-law Sandy
(you may know her from Sandy Sewz & Sunflowerz Crochet)
asked if I could stop by her house as she had made me something...
I just luv her new sewing gig, because I usually benefit from it!
When I got there, she presented me with the cutest tote!
I absolutely luvvvvv it!
Check it out...
She saw that I had admired one on another blog and she made me one herself!
Isn't it beautiful?!!
Thanks again Sandy!!
Well...I should put a wee bit of time into my Hawaiian block, as I am
still inspired from my book! I only started it about 7 or 8 yrs ago!
It may actually get completely stitched this year!
I almost forgot...I also set up my Esty account!
My husband has been telling me to do this for a couple of years now
so I finally did! If you get a chance to check it out...
I only have one item for now as I ran out of time...
I hope to get more items listed this weekend so stop by and check me out!
Your painted stuff looks awesome! I'm so glad you liked your bag... it was alot of fun to make. I've got more sewing projects coming too! I really do want to learn about Etsy, so you will have to come over again some Thurs. and give me a lesson okay?
