winter is back....again!!!

it seems that this is the winter that just won't end. snow once again today. it's enough to make a good girl cuss. argh! on the bright side, i did get a lot of things done this weekend and i have a few pictures of some projects i worked on.
thrifted lamp base
it's perfect as is but needs a fun shade.

viola! perfection!

the chair is also thrifted. it's for sure one of

the best $5 chairs i've found.

here are some old quilt blocks my

grandmother made. i didn't want to make

the blocks into an actual quilt

so i'm using them as wall art

...and pillows!

i also painted the bench this weekend.


these are some eye pillows made with
some fantastic amy butler fabric.

the birdcage is from a thriftstore, painted

robin's egg blue for spring. the chest is also thrifted

and i painted it spring green this weekend.

as you can see, the lamp is eagerly awaiting its

permanent covering. more lovely amy butler

fabric for it as well.

keep checking back as i'll be posting more pictures as the party date approaches!

wonderful photos and writing; i remember when chris took, and then you re-shot, the newly-painted bench...turned out great.

i linked over to esther's blog, where I saw the flier for your upcoming May event; I bet you will both really have a blast wearing those two dresses she mentions.
