A Busy Holiday Weekend

I did all sorts of stuff this past weekend…I was pretty much internet free so I concentrated on making stuff!

I did some sewing for Mom…she had a wrap skirt pattern that was decades old (I remember her wearing a skirt from this pattern when I was in high school) and I made a lovely skirt for her in some fabric I had on hand.  Sorry Mom, but the only fabric I had that was long enough was green gingham!

Love how tight this quilting is…mom quilted the two pieces and I just made them into pillows for her. 

I found this slate chalkboard at Goodwill, all I did was finish the wood frame in a beachy theme. 

I also whipped up this cute bunting with washi tape and bakers twine…so cute in red and aqua.

Been meaning to make some Scrabble magnets for a while…going to have to make some more of these!  These are for a gift…

I made some cute bookmarks for a little gift…

I love the names of these paint blues…Deep Mediterranean, Fantasy Blue, Smooth Southern Sea.  Makes me feel like I’m on a beach somewhere!

I worked on this stool…

and decorated this peacock tote bag.

Made a tuxedo pillow…

and stripped and  refinished this baby for my son’s room!

Oh yeah, I also cooked and cleaned and worked on the garage and did some work in my flower bed and planted some more flower pots and cleaned, did I mention that?

Whew!
