Carol (Firecracker Kid) and I recently swapped. I've been drooling over this 2 shelf cupboard with a door for some time. Thank you so much Carol!
My plan was to hang it in our master bath. I couldn't bear to hide it away in our bathroom where no one could see it and enjoy it. It's now found a permanent home in our living room. I just ordered a WOOL sign on Etsy to replace the CROCKS one. WOOL will go a little better with my them of sheep on the top shelf.
My last post I shared my new rug hooking piece I started. I'm not done with it and I've found yet another project to get in the works!
I found this little coat on a snow man in a thrift store. It's all old homespuns; blues, red and cream. I believe it was made from an old quilt. You can see on this where the quilt was tied originally. For the $3.00 I paid, I threw away the snowman and kept the coat. My plan is to rip it apart (carefully) and see what I can put together - maybe a table runner or table square. I've also thought of making prim seed bags or ditty bags and sewing patches of homespuns to them.
All my projects will have to wait a little longer, I'm off to a baseball game now!

ReplyDeleteGood morning Ann,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful cupboard! I understand your need to put it out where everyone can see it - good choice.

ReplyDeleteI'm drooling over the cupboard :-).
The little coat is beautiful. Maybe you can show us (in a couple of days/weeks?) what you made of it?
