The office is definitely coming along,
the gyproc dust is settling,
and the paint is getting rolled on :)
and the paint is getting rolled on :)
I really wanted to show you how it's coming
along but it isn't not that exciting, yet. And not that pretty, yet, just
aluminum ladders and paint cans. However, I do have something I
want to share this wonderful Monday morning...
My newly created tablecloth. I found the fabric buried
deep in a discount bin at the back of the fabric store. I always like to
rummage through them, you just never know
what you may find in there.
As soon as I saw this fabric I knew it should
be a ruffled tablecloth. I was crossing my fingers, hoping that it
would be wide enough for my table and have a
little extra fabric for ruffles. .. I think
Hermione loves this fabric too!
Hermione loves this fabric too!
What a silly cat!
I had to do some serious measuring to make sure
that I could make a ruffle for the entire edge of the tablecloth.
There were NO scrap pieces from this project.
I know wrinkles bother some, but
I happen to love the wrinkles. I feel like
they make things a little less formal,
a lot more relaxed, and they
add some cHaRaCtEr.
Very shortly Easter will be here,and I
only have a few decorations out...yes it makes me
happy to decorate for the holidays :)...but I need to spring clean first.
These little eggs were a little bright for the look
I want this year, so I covered them in yarn with hot glue.
Soft pink tulips always make me happy.
This little bird is a new addition from Micheals.
There was a large selection of color choices before
but only a few are there now... Birds must be
popular again this year.
I hope that this has inspired you to
check out those discount bins,
if you haven't already..:)

I love your ruffled tablecloth! It looks FAB!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the picture of your beautiful ruffle tablecloth. But the thing I liked best was kitty laying on it. That's my chuckle for the day. So like a kitty to be right there when working on a project.
