I’ve been pinning

Kind of a rainy, chilly, dreary day here….so I’m working on my Simple Abundance quilt.

Based on a tutorial by crazymomquilts. I will be hand quilting with straight lines using perle cotton #8. I’ve finished one section and really enjoyed the look and stitching with the perle cotton.

and pinning here (Pinterest),  it’s kind of addicting and fun!

Wax on Wax off

Joining the shutter project link up at Donna’s Funky Junk Interiors

I found this shutter at a local Antique Store. I used Miss Mustard Seed’s inspirational tutorials on painting and waxing  to give it a whimsical look, and use it as a shelf in my greenhouse. I love the little porcelain knob, so sweet.

Had so much fun with this project, I started and finished another.  I really like the waxing technique.  I’ve refinished many pieces of furniture but never with paint and wax, it was fun and fast!!

We have a little wren who likes to make a house in here in the Spring, hope she picks this one, this year!
