Summer projects

Quilted Raw-edge Applique Hot Pad - I drew and cut out the flower free-hand. I still have work to do. LOL!
Quilted Nine-patch Pillow
I added the zipper-it's my first zipper!
I re-covered the dining room chairs-finally! They have needed it for about 10 years! Once I figured out where the staples came out and what size staples I needed it went pretty quickly!

I didn't make it, but I found a great deal. I got this used leather love seat for $70. It has some scratches, but no major damage.

Bo installed a counter in my laundry room. Yay! Thanks honey!

Proud Mama!

Butterfly Afghan

This was a free pattern from Wal-mart. While I'm happy with the results, I don't know that I'd make another one. The butterflies are made separately and sewn on. It was hard to get them placed correctly!

Wordless Wednesday - 2 puppies, 2 much time!

What's for dinner tonight?

Well, in 6 months anyway! Yum, yum!

Front porch and sidewalk

The project for the last few weekends has been a front porch and sidewalk. Bo found a good deal on a cement mixer so he was able to pour the sidewalk this weekend. He mixed the concrete for the front porch by hand-not fun! Benjaman was able to help with the porch. Isn't it nice?! Bo also put some gravel just outside the gate so that won't turn into a puddle when it rains.
