Today is a two for one post. Lucky you! A couple weeks ago I nabbed this little table from the thrift store for 2 dolla. It was just plain wood, a little beat up and came with a glass top. After a quick coat of primer and white spray paint it was already looking more … [Read more...]

April 12, 2011 by 2 Comments
Greetings! Today's post very aptly falls into the straight stitch category since all the sewing was only straight lines. My kind of sewing project.

I flatter myself that someone would pay $1 million for this little beauty, but $1 million is exactly what it would take for me to part with it! Days and days of blood, sweat, and tears went into the making of this lamp! Ok, none of those bodily dramatizations were involved in the … [Read more...]
