Now.....on to a few things I been workin' on

This is a before picture of a floor shelf I've had for a long long time. I had it stuck in a corner in my laundry room collectin' lint n dust......


This is after the 1st coat of flat black paint. All ready an improvement ! Not sure if I'm gonna put another color or just leave it black. What do ya'll think ?


This is a stitchery I've been workin' on during lunch at work. The pattern is by Plum Creek Collectibles and is just soooo pea pickin' cuteeeee. When it's finished it will have fabric borders and be framed. My problem is everything I make i wanna keep lol ! Do any of you have that problem ?


This is a Santa bowl filler/ornie I'm workin' on. He measures 6 inches tall by 3 & a half inches wide. I hand stitched his nose, eyes and eyebrows. Still gotta put on his lambs wool hair and beard and finish up his hat. May pick a different fabric for his hat not sure yet. Here's a close up of him...



Ohhhh I also gotta share a picture of those 19th century reproduction fabrics I got at Hobby Lobby. I just love 'em. They even got grungy areas all ready !



Isn't that lovely !


Look at those grungy spots !


Would like to make some pillow cases with this.


Got lotsa ideas for these fabrics !

While at Hobby Lobby I picked up a few more sets of rice lights. I wanted to show ya'll what they look like wrapped around a Grapevine tree.....


Looks soooo invitin'. I have mine set in my bay window. Who knows the winner of my giveaway might just end up with a set of rice lights in their package ! hmmmm.....lol


Also wanted to show ya'll one a my TS finds from Saturday. Picked up this ol rusty dairy scale gem for $5.99. Looks really good hangin' in my kitchen ! Boy I really loaded post with pics ! Sorry bout that lol. I hadda lot to share tonight =)
Again get those recipes and answer in for tonights chance at xtra entries ! Till next time my Prim Friends....
