Home Renovations

It has been a while since my last post. We moved over the summer and now we have some renovating to do. I will be posting before and after pics of our reno's, so I hope you will stay tuned. Here is our first reno. It is our main floor bathroom. Now it is very functional, unlike before, where the shower area had no wall tiles. Hope you like it, and stay tuned for more reno's to come.

Retro Baby Quilt

I just finished this baby quilt. It was made from a quilt that was used by my daughter when she was a baby. She will be 30 soon. I used the quilt panel and added a new backing fabric and new batting in between. You can tell by the pictures on the quilt, that it isn't something you would too readily today.

Child's Swing

Just finished recovering this adorable child's swing that my neighbor was disgarding. I think my grandson will have fun this summer on it. The canopy was torn,  so I made a new one. I used new padding in the seats and back, and recovered them in this fun fabric. I also made the piping around the canopy in a contrasting color to match the red on  the arms of the swing. Wish I would have taken a before and after pic. The canopy was quite torn, but I managed to use it to trace a pattern for the new canopy.

Finished Chevron Throw

Crocheted Blanket

Still working on this throw, can't wait to see it finshed.

Winter Friends

Ready For Christmas

Chair Makeover

I just finished recovering this little chair and ottoman for my
grandson. The piping was not difficult at all.
He finds it very comfortable when he's watching T.V.

Happy Easter

Hope everyone has a very "Happy Easter"

A Rose is a Rose, Is a Rose

I had to photograph these stunning roses. Isn't the color delicious?

I love the color orange and it shows beautifully in these roses!

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day!

Sugar cookie hearts for my valentine!

Necessary Room

A cute little sign to paint for the powder room door.

Wooden gingerbread men

A little ornament for the tree. I cut these gingerbread men out on my scroll saw, and then decorated them. They will be used on top of the wrapped up presents, and then they can be hung on the tree and enjoyed for years to come.

Vintage Barbie

Barbie has been stored away for 49 years, and I take her out every now and then, just to look at all the beautiful hand knitted clothes that were made for her by a great Aunt. The detailing in the clothes is so unique. Each purse, and dress has a different vintage style, and no two hats are the same.

The Barbie case used to be used as my lunch box, that I carried to school.
