It was 70 degrees and very muggy. The back door was open and several of my windows. It was in the 60's all Sunday night. Now, today, a cold front has come through and doors and windows are closed.
Flowers are shooting up in my front flower beds. Today, I saw jonquils ready to bloom in a yard on my street. Here's my jasmine vine in my backyard.
Also did some furniture work for Leola's. Hadn't been able to work in the garage for a while so decided to pull this bench out and put a finish on it. It's a primitive old bench but turned out so well with a nice finish on it.
Speaking of grandkids.....this is my new project. It started when a lady brought some dresses into Leola's that were kind of out-of-style and wanted to know if we could recycle the fabric. It was still in good shape and all the dresses had wonderful printing on them. I had to think of some way of recycling and decided to try to make the g'girls some outfits. Stella was with me this weekend so we started with her some pants. I now have the top almost finished and love the way they're coming together. There's something so fulfilling about using this perfectly good fabric that cost me nothing and turning it into something wearable again.
Hope you can see the prints on the fabric. The top is a brown knit but will have some of the print from the blue dress appliqued on it. Phoebe's will have brown pants and blue for the top. I'll take more pics when I'm finished.
It's cold with snow flurries today so plan on staying in and finishing my project. Tomorrow I'm going antiquing with my sisters and can't wait. It's been a while!
Have a good Wednesday.
