Putzing about

It seems like I have so little time to actually get anything done. I start on something and then have to dump it to deal with life’s little details.

I made some new cushions for my patio chairs with some thrifted fabric. I have since power washed the stones, please ignore the algae. LOL

I followed a fantastic tutorial by Christy at Confessions of a serial diyer. Easiest covers, ever.

I found this utility box at a garage sale for $2 and gave it a few coats of different colours to come up with a pretty little display box.

After

We drink tea in our house every night after dinner, it must be our British roots. I found these EAT letters in a bright yellow but toned them down to better suit my space. And, rearranged them to be more appropriate for us.

I have fulfilled some sign orders and have one more in the works.

Today I am off to meet a fun and wonderful friend that I met through my blog. She is visiting from North Carolina and we are going to make a day of it, I can’t wait.

Have a fabulous weekend!
