around the house this morning...

In the sunroom...some knitting in the basket--another drops design #119-8.  I'm working the shirred parts aroung the yoke; not too much more to go.  And, a new slipcover on the loveseat, that I made a couple weekends ago from some vintage linen damask tablecloths.

In the kitchen...a food cover ready & waiting for bug season.


Over the kitchen sink...some lilacs picked this weekend.  Not a good year for them apparently, as there are very few blooms on the bush.

On the mantle...a landscape finds a new home.

In my workroom...a tunic waiting to be finished, a 'cherry' print clothespin bag waiting to be listed, and

...plans being made for a giveaway sometime soon.
Happy May!

  3. I love all the little corners of your home...so cozy! The lilacs are beautiful. My lilac bush is loaded with buds this year. Must be a good year for us in Maine, (or at least in my yard). They won't be ready for probably a couple of weeks though. Can't wait to see your giveaway. What a treat!

    Lovely corners of your home, spring is definitely here! What kind of yarn are you using for the new sweater you're working on?

  8. Grace ~ the yarn is from another thrift store sweater that I unraveled. It's a super soft wool in a charcoal gray tweed.

  15. I love the charming views we see of your home. Your slip cover looks wonderful! I can't even dream of white anything in my home. We have a black dog and a black cat.White would always be decorated with black animal hair. sigh...Thank you for sharing. It is always refreshing to see.

    I really need to hit up some thrift stores and find some nice wool sweaters to unravel! That pattern is one of the many on my "queue'ed list" in ravelry.

    Your workroom looks so inviting with a lot of things almost finished or finished. Love your blog.
