Gorgeous day

What a gorgeous day it has been today.  We sure have waited long enough for the weather to warm up and hopefully Spring/Summer is now here to stay.  We have suffered a long, dismal winter and most people were getting down in the dumps, even those who enjoyed the outdoors and snow.

Here are a few things I have been working on...

This is a small, older shelf unit, nothing special about it so just spruced it up with a coat of paint....

And After


I painted another table in the same colour but this one I added hand-painted blackbirds to it....

An old sewing machine table (of course I forgot the before picture)...


Looks great...


And lastly...

Two old doll cradles I had in my Boutique for quite a while and they weren't going anywhere so I decided to paint them up and shabby chic them.  Hopefully they will now sell.  Dolls included of course!!

Which ended up looking like this....


Throw in a couple more babies just for fun....


Oh, and I knitted these two scarves.  The yarn was the softest I have ever knitted with.  I can't remember the name of it but it came in skeins and was as soft as bunny fur.


Well, that's just about it for now.  I'll leave you, as usual, with a photo of my sweeties, my grandkids....

Not a very good selection - will have to take some close-ups when I go to visit, which I hope will be very soon.

Well friends, have a wonderful week.  Thanks for sharing your blogs with me.  I might not always comment but I sure do enjoy reading and getting ideas.

Hugs,
