Two new quilts done and given as gifts.

Latest Project
Spending . . .
Pennies instead of Dollars
If you sew, you may have seen
these wonderful extensions
that you can purchase to
custom fit your sewing machine.
One of my best friends just
purchased one for around $300.
Those of you that know me
also know that I'm cheap.
Therefore; my thought was
why can't I build my own?
Not only did I not buy lumber
(all came from Steve's old scrape pile)
this wood was saved from an
old unwanted bookshelf.
I covered it with Pioneer Woman
brand contact paper.
That was my only cost in
this project.
$6.97 at Walmart
I have never done a
contact paper project
without a gummed up mess.
I guess it's not my favorite
thing to work with, but it does
have some very good functions.
In this case it's nice and smooth
so that the fabric glides easily over it.
"And it's pretty" 😊
I hope this inspires you to
try a new project.
Especially if it saves
you some money :)

Have a wonderful week
and remember to put
God first.

I purchased diamonds
from Amazon
for my Valentine's present
to myself :)
No, there are not earrings . . .
They are cabinet knobs LOL.
Here are my dressers finished
A little paint
(that I already had)

Another thing that I did in the bedroom
was add these dollies to the windows.
All that I did was iron them
with spray starch and then I took
a children's glue stick and glued them
to the window.
The glue is washable, so removing
should be a snap.
I forgot to add these two photos
to my last post.
I have a footstool in front of the
sofa, so I use this tray for a place to
set a "cup-a" when I have company.
I thought that putting this quilt
on the sofa would be in keeping with
my February theme.
I hope that you enjoyed
the little tour and that it
will inspire you . . .
Spring is almost here and we'll be
sending so much time outside
that we won't have the time to tweek the house
like we do now . . . Have Fun!
God Bless You All
