more projects

wow. do i ever have a huge project list. trouble is, i am also lazy. those two are not an especially good combo :)

yesterday afternoon, i decided i needed another. remember way back when i recovered the sun porch cusions? wow. that seems so long ago. i wish i had not left them outside all winter last year, so they could get mildewey and yucky. but, since i did, i really have to recover them.

there is no budget for this. the star of the sun porch is PLANTS, which i have saved up for excess spending on ;)) he he .... so, i was saddened to find that most outdoor fabric now costs upwards of $15 to $20 per yard. yikes!

then, i went to the remnant bin. i should just START there, shouldn't i?

i found this:


it reminds me of a garden. my garden. it's a little old fashioned, and kind of 'loose' in a good way. of course, the color seemed good...there was only 3 yards left, not enough to do everything, but a good start. i'll have to get creative and find something to match/coordinate. that will be fun. $11 total :)


i always think i am buying something wild. then, i see that i just keep buying the EXACT SAME THING over and over :)) i will keep you posted on results!

Heh. That phenomenon describes my wardrobe.

I really like your new print. Can't wait to see what you'll put with it.
