Busy with outdoor work but not really working outside. Saturday was kind of hot.
So I spent the hottest part of the day in the basement, where I'm re-organizing my craft studio, again.
It's really become a disaster, again. I mean a real obstacle course! Once I had enough room to work, I made a wreath for the garden.
Isn't the little sign cute?
Originally, it said something along the lines of "My husband said if I bought any more flowers, he would leave me. I'm sure going to miss that man." But it was fading and my husband didn't really appreciate the sentiment.
So I repainted it to something a little less offensive.
Next, I turned to a stack of old pillows I had been saving to recover for the patio furniture.
I had found a floral print in a remnant bin at a fabric outlet. I paid about three dollars for about two yards of it. I wasn't one hundred percent certain about the colors, but the price was so great for outdoor fabric, I decided to take a chance on it.
Then I found a geometric print, which coordinated perfectly.
I combined the two for the square pillows. Check out my lazy trimwork.
I just have a hard time putting a lot of money or effort into something that will eventually be pooped on by some passing bird. Don't you agree?
That's two projects off my list. I think I'll set a spell for while for now.

the fabric looks great together, beautiful, so satisfying to make your own!
