Loving the weather

Worked outside today cleaning up my flower beds of all the dead fall foliage. So nice to be out and chat with the neighbors.   Everyone was outside on their bikes chasing little ones who have just learned to ride those bikes.  Love Spring but I think we probably have more winter weather to come....Sigh.

I have finished my sewing projects so I can have my dining room back to being a dining room.

Here are some pics of my finished skirted table and chair slipcover with a ruffle.
My cute table now is perfect to try out a vignette.



Slip-covered dining room chair for our office.  



Some left over material and ruffles for another pillow.



And some yummies I made yesterday.  



Thank you for all your sweet comments.  I love reading your blogs for inspiration and knowing I am not alone.  My husband thinks I am crazy that I move stuff around all the time.

Off to put away the sewing machine.

    Sewing is one of my creative outlets also. I love the small ruffle accent you added to several things. It adds so much. I have to try slip-covering my dining room chairs. There is way too much dark wood going on in there. I'm a new follower and look forward to getting to know you better.

    Trying to figure out how to Thank all of you for such nice comments and coming over to my blog. I wish there was a comment option beside of each of your posts.
    Some quick answers to some questions:
    I do not have a shop.
    The ruffles were made with a ruffler attachment on my machine. This is the first time I had really had an occasion to try it out.

    I am linking back to all of your blogs and also becoming a follower.

    Trust me, you aren't alone! I'm always either moving things around or repainting a room or re-inventing a piece of furniture or a frame... my mind is always spinning with decorating ideas!
