A Little Bit of Everything

I have been busily putting my

sewing space all together.

It is going to be a work in

progress to find all

the little things that speak to me.

(It will probably take years)

I have always wanted a space that

Says "Me". 

Here is a little chunk

of what I have so far.

 

I have loved seeing the cute antique ladders

that everyone has sporting their quilts.

Well, this ladder has a lot of

meaning. It is the kids bunk-bed ladder.

It was just sitting around,

collecting dust in the shed,

when I had the idea to use it.

We drilled holes in the front of the ladder

at the top to attach it into a stud.

They are counter sunk holes.

 

 

After screwing it to the wall,

I used wooden button to cover

the screw heads. 

I was lucky enough to hit

a stud with both sides.

It is probably a good thing,

since a certain someone

thinks it is a great ladder up the wall to

Nowhere.

 

My husband refinished this

cute little nightstand

for me. 

I like to store my cross-stitch supplies

in there and it

keeps me from tripping on

the ladder.

(Can you tell, I probably did it more than once)

 

I love the black hardware against the

willow stain.   

Here is the picture of part of the

set before he refinished it.

 

I actually picked it up for nothing.

(Got to love that)

We spent next to

nothing refinishing it.

Just the sandpaper, stain,

poly, and paint for the pulls.

He has two of the three pieces

redone, but I'll

show you the other a bit later.

 

 

And all those lovely tomatoes,

I again was working on.

This time with a little

 Basil-Garlic Tomato Sauce.

 

 

You can find the recipe Here.

It smelled absolutely yummy.

I am hoping it tastes just as

good.

 

 

I have also been doing a bit

of sewing for the Black Cat Crossing Hop

over at Sew We Quilt

coming up reallllly soon.
