Here's a little bit of what I've been doing when not out in the gardens weeding.

Behr's Light French Gray eggshell finish. And no, the whole floor is not finished yet {did we really think it would be done by July?!} as there's waaay too much outdoor work right now--I will be so glad when it is finally finished!!!
l love all your projects..such a sense of accomplishment when something is done!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go and check out what it is that you are knitting..
Zuchhini bead..so delicious! So far this year I haven't found anybody who is giving away zuchhini.
I love that folding table..it looks beautiful painted white!
I come to your blog for inspiration and I don't go away disappointed..thanks:)
Oops..I should spell it'zucchini'..there that is better:)
ReplyDeleteOh we have missed you. Everyday I check for a new post!
ReplyDeleteI'm off to try the zuchini bread. I love your blog by the way. So nice and comforting!

ReplyDeleteYour projects look fabulous! I'm especially fond of the yard sale find table! Who'da thought it would transform so nicely!

Debbie, congratulations on being included in the blog bliss book. Your blog was one of the first I visited and I even won a beautiful peg apron in one of your give-aways.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is a peaceful and friendly place to visit, keep up the great work. Thank you.
I love the pattern and the color. I've started an afghan in a Country blue that I want to have done by the time cooler weather arrives.
ReplyDeleteThe table is lovely in that color. I really do like gray. It is such a peaceful, soothing sort of color.
Thank you for another lovely visit.
So good to hear all is well, if busy, up there. Love the knitting! And zuchini bread and everything, you are always and inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love OWLS! I can't wait to see yours finished! I can' really wear sweaters here much, but if I did, I'd put that one on my to do list. Your table turned out really great too. I like that it's not white white.
ReplyDeleteThe floors are looking wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, but the floor looks so great so far! Looks so pretty with the new folding table and the red & white striped bowl. I like the footstool too - a thrifted find recovered?

I love your white floor.....and the table looks great there! (But I wouldn't want to keep a white floor clean with a husband, two teenagers, a puppy, and two cats!)
ReplyDeleteI think that sweater is just awesome. I can't wait to see it when it's finished. Really great projects!! I love the cover of that little book. It makes me want to go out and found it right away.
ReplyDeleteRuth
Wow the floor looks absolutely fabulous. New visitor here - just added you to my faves!
ReplyDeleteDeb, I love your posts. Your home looks so lovely, very neat and tidy! How do you keep everything looking so nice? I really enjoy your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much
Gwyn
Wonderful projects!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see a post..I have been waiting and waiting impatiently as I just LOVE your blog. :)
The owl sweater is a wonderfully ambitious project. I look forward to seeing it when it is finished. I have bedroom dressers to paint and have been seeing many spray painted furniture pieces on various blogs. Your tray looks so perfect so I’m wondering if it was brush painted or spray-painted.
ReplyDeleteI love your post Deb! Your knitting is so beautiful :) I can't wait to see the finished project :) Hmmm, Zucchini Bread! The book looks interesting :)
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!
