If you follow my blog regularly, you're probably wondering what I have been up to. I thought I would include a little recap of my current projects since I was away last week and my main post for this week was my pallet wall.
- Bought wood and supplies to turn my dresser into a kitchen island. I will be taking you through this journey step by step.
- Started the pattern to slipcover Owen's rocking chair. I will also share this with you as best as I can.
- Working on my first blog button. Yikes! Quite intimidating.
- Halfway done with the top piece of my quilt. I didn't get to work on it last week as much as I had hoped.
- Project that I started and needed a break away from
This pattern is by far the most ambiguous one I have ever read. I got really stumped with the ruffle part, so I will make my own ruffle. The pattern is from Wal-Mart, and I will never recommend it to any beginner sewer. I wouldn't consider myself a beginner, yet I had to do a lot of unpicking on this dress! I will get back to this dress as soon as I can look at it without getting mad. grrrrr. :)
-Project for the weekend: Attending my local flea market on Sat. hoping to find some unique (cheap) items for the home. I haven't attended in a least a year, and it's only open on the weekends.
Okay, so onto Fabric Friday! Have you heard of Parson Gray aka David Butler??? Okay, I'm a fan of Amy Butler, but I had no clue her husband designs too! I'm a bit late in the game knowing this, but that's okay. I'm happy to know about it now. He offers sewing, home decor, and laminated fabric just like Amy. Sometimes, I find it difficult to find fabrics that are suited for men, but I think this collection is a definite winner. I could see both sexes using most of these prints.
