White Wednesday

I'm back!

During these past days I didn't do much,
the last storm
(it's funny how this year we can actually count our So Cali storms!)
kept me inside the house
with no other fabric than burlap to work with....

It could be worse, I guess...

Burlap, stamps...
and some yummy coffee later...

and I got a couple of pillows done!

Not much, I know...
...specially after such a long break,

...just enough for a little loveseat...

A little summery for this time of the year,
but I can't wait for a change of weather...
I just hope my Country Roads customers feel the same way I do:
A little summer in the middle of January
never hurt anyone!

To know what's new on this first White Wednesday of 2011,
visit
Faded Charm!

Christmas glitter...

I liked the idea of using my big stars

as tree toppers,

so I added a clothes pin on the back
to make them easier to use...

How surprised I was
when I tried them in different displays
around my home!
I think they make everything so festive...

I hope they will also look good
on my Christmas tree,
but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to try that...
that's when I decorate it!
(Argentinian tradition)

I'm having computer troubles...grrrr

I'm not sure if I can visit you today,

but if you can, visit all the

White Wednesday girls for me!


UPDATE:
BOTH SOLD
but more in production

Blessings...

Family
Friends
Health
A roof over your head
A warm plate of food
Job
Love

Have you

lately?


Sometimes,
it helps it to see them written
in black and white...

I'm enjoying the rest of the long weekend
I hope you are doing the same....

White Wednesday

To cover...

or not to cover?


Bought this 6-arm lamp
from my neighbor.
I wasn't in love with it
until I took it out of the box
and shot this pictures...

My idea was to re-cover each lampshade,
with some burlap,
or maybe some tan linen...

Just so they don't look so generic...

but I can't make up my mind.
What do you think??
To cover or not to cover
before selling it???

I know my Blogging Pals
will have the answer to that!!

SOLD!
(just as the picture shows it)

While I keep thinking about it,
I'll visit all the White Wednesday Gals....

White Wednesday

I tried to get rid of "it" a few times...
but every time I looked at it"
all I saw was a missing eye
and a big open mouth pleading for help.

I know I might have lost it,
but look... don't you see the same?

It's OK...
you don't need to respond...

In any case,

"it" got her makeover and this is She now...
New dress,
new makeup...

and a whole new life!

Just in time for another
White Wednesday!

S is for....

Sign...

Simple Sign!

Bold and graphic...
So different from what I usually do.
I think my Graphic Design Class inspired me a lot more than I imagined.
I enjoy the change.
I like to be inspired!

Purging...

1. (noun) purge, purging
an act of removing by cleansing; ridding of sediment or other undesired elements.

The definition is clear...
removing,
cleansing,

but undesired elements???

I don't know about that...

some of the things I found in my garage are not un-desired...
they are just un-designed ...

in need of some re-design...

A few cuts and some wooden knobs for a cute picket rack...

and some tips from Rita on how to make these cute signs.
That's all it took!

One more thing out....
1000000000 more to come!

Thank you Kathleen for hosting White Wednesday!!

White Wednesday

We've been playing Musical Dressers...

The poor old dresser already in the house
finally got a very needed clean up.

new fresh paint...

glass knobs...

big smile for the camera....

and out the door
and in my Country Roads Space.

Now I need to get my new vintage dresser ready ...
white?
black?
crazy?

I better look around White Wednesday for some inspiration!
