Trestle Table Love....

I have had the most beautiful couple of weeks. Not all wonderful. But lots of beautiful moments to make up for some really awful ones. 

I've had an idea in my mind for a little while now. 

I didn't end up with an outdoor table when I moved to my new life. I managed to save my lovely chairs that I painted quite awhile ago now.  

Bringing an idea to life is such an exciting thing to do.  

Planning, shopping, working it all out.

A trip to the Toowoomba recycling centre is always a fun thing to do.  

So many beautiful old doors to choose from. I found this one. Perfect for what I had in mind.  Strong, heavy, chippy and oh so wonderful.

A lovely friend made the trip to Bunnings with me. We had found a great set of instructions on the net and had our list ready.  How good is a trip to Bunnings!   One of my favourite places to go. Dangerous even!!

Home with our bits and pieces the fun began.  

My friend owns all the gear necessary. What a beautiful afternoon of building fun we had. 

Perfectly worn and chipped from years in another life. 

Right at home under the tree at Lorea House. 

Such perfect little details a reminder of its previous life. 

Ready for a perfectly beautiful summer of memories. 

Pink Custard Kisses....

Oh my, this heat wave is unbearable.  I am so thankful for my air conditioning in extreme weather such as this.

It is so very quiet here today, so a little baking filled my morning. 

Mr Buble and I in the kitchen.

Kisses....        With love.....

 

Don't forget my little giveaway in the last post - at the moment there's one entered.  Lucky lady if she gets all three!!!  Draw in a few days.

Mon Sac du Marché.........

Finished..........

How wonderful it feels to have finished a project started only a few weeks ago.  I had shown you all a little earlier this beautiful bag in its early stages.  The stitching completed while on a weeks holiday at the beach.  A Honey Bun and half a metre of fabric later.......Tah Dah.......

A lot of sewing of all those strips seemed to take quite awhile.  I dragged the ironing board into the studio for this one otherwise I would have been like a yoyo backwards and forwards pressing each seam as I went.

Wouldn't it be fun to take it shopping in a French Market place...... For now I will dream.......and probably take it to work each day with my lunch and a magazine.......

Now.....which project will Iget onto next.......there's a quilt in the studio which I think may be my next project to tackle.
