A bit of red, white, green and penny pinchin' for you.

Tea time at the church.
I could not go, but Scott watched the store for me
so I could leave for a bit and hand out door prizes to the ladies.

Sooo fun!!

Here is a bit of creative white for you.

I showed you this fabric yesterday.
It is the ruffle off a white eyelet bed skirt.

Hated to toss it so.....

made an apron for one of my granddaughters out of part of it.

Here is another fast and frugal idea for you thrifty girls.
Need a fancy apron to impress your friends??

How about just putting some ribbon through the casing of a curtain.

Ruffle it up, tie a bow, and wah lah!
instant apron!

You could also use things like gingham, chicken prints,
or any other cute curtain you come across.
Want a small child's apron?
Use a valance.


I used a bit of this lace and some cheesecloth....

glued to a 3" circle manila folder

back side..

then swirled some satin ribbon around and hot glued it....

added some lace and more ribbons, and a button center
and made this.

I'll put a pin on the back and add it to a hat, or bag.

OK. Those are my penny pinchin', some reds,
and some cute whites and sweet creams.

White Wednesday

Rednesday

Outdoor Wednesday

oops! I forgot my outdoor Wednesday.
I'll be right back!

OK. I'm back.




How about some summer shots of our little patio.
oops. First, this is my sweet fella.....


who did this fountain for us.


Here is our sweet granddaughter Isabel, next
to the fountain Grandpa put in.




The rock patio my brother made for me years ago.
He actually went out to the woods and gathered all the flagstone to make it.
(It is only 10x10', but was a lot of hard work,
and a labor of love.
Then we have added the flowers, path and all over time.


Thanks for coming by.
