Rainy Saturday......

I've really been a slacker this winter with my blog but too many things kept getting in my way like sitting, reading, eating, and stareing out the window at the snow!  I just don't have much get-up-and-go in the winter anymore.  It isn't even depression.....it's just flat-out laziness!  Next year I'm thinking seriously about going away to where it's warmer for awhile.

Anyway, for now I'm thinking Spring!  Yesterday was gorgeous!  We had a good week at Leola's and I actually sold some furniture.  The desire has been strong to sew with ticking so this was my initial project....

 

I've always loved ticking and by all I've seen, it looks to be big this spring and summer.  Not that it matters to me a whole lot since I've always used it!

 

 

 

I think I'll do some more pillows then maybe a duvet.  A duvet takes so much fabric and it's so expensive and then there's all the time involved.  Usually, when I make something like this, it's something that I wouldn't mind keeping for myself.....just in case!

Love this old tool box!  It was so dirty and just raw wood so it's now clean and has a new coating of polyurethane on it.  That's another thing I love.....old handmade tool boxes.  I'd love to have about 5 pots of ivy growing in it or maybe pots of oregano and thyme.



 





 

Loved this arrangement that Brenda did....

 

 

And would this table not be wonderful for a coffee table and have some kids chairs to set around it when kids come over and want to eat in front of the TV.  Mine love to do that because I have Disney and they don't have cable at home.

 



 

And, yes, these are buds on the trees.....

 

And this is one of my many squirrels that love my backyard and all of my birdfeeders....

 

Hope this finds everyone (all 3 of you) well and wishing you a wonderful weekend.  Wanted to post our open house invitation and with it comes a personal invitation for a wonderful evening and weekend to welcome Spring (I'm making cookies).

 

PEACE.....
