New Table

Here it is, in all its glory........the new craft/sewing table!!!  It's higher than the other table I had so had to put a cushion on my chair to raise me up.......please excuse the untidiness, it is a work room!!!

The one drawer holds my art supplies, the other my sewing implements and machine parts and manuals.

I love to recycle, this is a heavy paper tray from the produce department and is perfect to hold tabletop supplies.

This is a Martha Stewart table from Home Decorator's collection, no I'm not getting paid for this, just thought you'd like to know about it.   It is very strong and sturdy, hard to put together by yourself and very reasonably priced I thought.

Comes in green, white or gray.......thanks for stopping by!!!

Spring project

A few weeks ago I ordered a craft table from Home Decorator's, it arrived last week and I began to assemble it.  I did it in the garage to keep the mess down there.......here is the basic frame put together.  The drawers were really hard to do and the slides too!!!

My sweet nephew had to come over and help carry it upstairs to my studio......the top was so heavy and it took the two of us to put it on the base and then the two of us to finish up the assembly.....what  a job this turned out to be!!!  But I am so glad I have it now, it is heavy and sturdy.  For years now I've been sewing on a folding table that was wobbley and had no drawers.......tomorrow I'll get some pics of the finished product.........

On a warmer note.......Spring has arrived!!!  My pear tree is in full bloom, and the white violets have left the flower beds and have taken over the side yard.........they are like little fairies dancing in the breeze!!!

View from my studio window where I spend all of my time.............

 Silly violets!!!!  Ignore that flower bed, that's work for another day!!!

Hope Spring has arrived by you and you are enjoying yourself........

Garden Case Display

It was sooooooo much fun putting this case together!!!  I almost couldn't stop, there were so many things I found to include!!!  Didn't spend a dime, had all the elements right here.........wicker suitcase held doll clothes in the basement, printables from the Graphics Fairy, garden books in the bookcase, tons of trinkets from my craft hoard..........so whadda ya think????

I wired this graphic to the lid of the case, and this one is so perfect because it is a Rochester based firm no longer in existence........part of our local history!!

My new dollar store garden gloves worked perfectly in here.......got 5 pair, I go through them so fast.....

A little pad and pencils for garden notes and reminders.......key to the garden gate and some saved seeds......

More seeds to be planted along with bulbs and a little reminder of Fall.....peat pots and new pine cones from my white pine that produces in the Spring......

Now that was such fun!!!  It'll be quite awhile before I can actually get out  in the garden to work, its still cold, rainy, and muddy, only some daffodils blooming and no leaves on the trees or bushes!!!  Maybe next week..........thanks for stopping by!!

Garden Case

Debra has inspired me to create a seed box.......but it has turned into a Garden Case!!!  Found this wicker suitcase in the basement filled with old doll clothes from my daughter..........that stuff is ready for the Good Will!!!   Then I continued to shop the basement and my studio........well, came up with a lot of stuff to incorporate into this new project!!!

Some elements.......

This will keep me busy for a few days, seeing as winter has returned and it is nasty!!!

Last week I spent a lot of time cleaning and doing some re-organizing in my studio, it was getting too crowded to work in there!!!  I removed 2 tables and brought in 2 bookcases, which work very well, and I am ordering a Martha Stewart sewing/craft table as soon as it goes on sale!!!  It has two drawers in it and will hold a lot of the supplies that are in baskets and cluttered.  Although, I work well with clutter!!!

See these cute tins???  Got them on clearance at the drug store after Christmas......$4.99 for the three, score!!  Now holding trims.   The bunny watercolor is from a gal on Etsy, will have to look for her name, she does really sweet paintings.....

Just keeping it real folks....this is as pretty as it gets!!!  This studio is a real workroom for all seasons!!!

Thanks for stopping by, hope someone out there is having a real Spring!!!

Dinner Tables

We enjoyed Easter Day dinner at my sister's home......she set a lovely table and cooked a marvelous meal.....what a great time we had!!!

I love her new table cloth and runner we found at Home Goods, just right for Spring!!!

On Wednesday we had dinner at my home, not as fancy but yummy good and fun too!!!  I went with yellow and green with a touch of pink for Spring, seeing as it was still snowing outside we needed that happy color!!!

They are calling for warmer weather for the weekend, we shall see!!!  Hope things are looking Springy by you!!!
