Thought I would drop in been a while as it has been a blood,sweat and tears summer. Now Fall is approaching and I am so grateful for all the things that we have been blessed with. Thought I would share my renewed totally dining room. New table Amish made. I made one of those ten minute runners put on it, burlap with flowers decoration I made thought the flowers brought out dimension with runner. The napkins was 5 min napkins I mitered and then just used decorative stitch on some and the green ones have Miss V's lovely Fall Alpha for monogrammed set.

I had made some patched fabric for cushions for chairs and I cut myself little short that is tossed to be made into something else. So now have burlap chair pads as shown in picture and pleased with their outcome. New floor just had me dancing once done. A very uplifting moment. Once I moved my old cabinets in I had to add scarecrow I worked on from last year design I made. Then I blasted out the door collected some corn tops, cattails and sprayed them with sealer and put some fake flowers in an old pitcher my Grandpa used to bring to table with milk in it. I told him something is wrong with this milk grandpa..... he smiled and said he would fix it. He went to store got me pasteurized. His was fresh raw milk from his daily milking. I love warm weather but Fall is a Welcomed sight and I wish we could keep it. As it will give me more time for my sewing projects. Still needs trim around room and that comes after we work on flooring in next area. I hope anyways.

Thank you with a big hug. That little guy has my silly dog also checking as to whom he could be. She don't steal him but she checks him out. I guess cause he looks like a little kid to her.
