Projects

This secretary is from my Grandma's house, as is the floral vase on the top shelf.  Hubby graciously re-stained it and fixed up some broken pieces, and it looks very nice!  It is holding some teacups and book collections: LHOTP, Anne of Green Gables, C.S. Lewis, and a collection of older stories from the library book sale.
(It was a relief to find all the parts and the key to open the cupboard at the bottom!  And to get it all put back together.  I think it's been in the garage since July!)

A fun little project for the girls' room: I spray painted an old frame white, printed off some digital scrapbook paper for the background, and crocheted these sweet hearts using embroidery floss.  (tutorial here.)  I used glue dots to adhere the hearts to the paper.

Wonderful projects! I haven't made anything in months. You're an inspiration.

Betsy--it's the nesting energy--I feel some unproductivity in the future...so it will be your turn to inspire me then. :)
