Happy White Wednesday Everyone!!! This will be short but sweet, I just got back from taking Cam to orientation, got stuck in a traffic jam for almost an hour (I know there are some of you out there who are used to this but I live in a teeny little podunk town and so it was wearing on me... I don't know how you get through it, really) anyway, I digress... the orientation went very well and Cam is now a registered college student. I did good too, no crying on the way home! So we got home just in time for him to help coach Maxs baseball team for a tourney that will be an all weekend event this weekend. Hannah is in 2 plays for summer theatre on wed., thurs. and fri. what a boring life right?!!! On to WW, I made this little clutch for a friend of mine, I still can't believe I made it!
Look I even gave it 2 pockets! some vintage crotched lace from an old dresser scarf and a rosette that I have been going gang busters on. These will be good to make while watching a ball game or two! (wish I would have had some done to join in on the rosette party) oh well...
And to round this WW post off, a couple of shots from outdoors...
I love this girly placque and where better for her to hang than on my little white barn... Kate, if you are reading this, can you believe it's STILL not painted? ugh.
love the old white doorknob on my red door.
This white chair just would not stayed glued and came apart so much it was driving me crazy so outside it came to become a planter. I know this is not a new idea by any means but there you have it. :) So right now I am going to figure out what I need to make for dinner and then hit the couch. oh yeah, right after I link up to my favorite parties... Boardwalk Bragfest and
White Wednesday!
Thanks for stopping by! Theresa
Your little chair looks very happy there in the garden....it's probably where it wanted to be anyway!
ReplyDeleteI just bet your friend loves the little girlie clutch you made. It's very pretty.
Like the red barn door too.

ReplyDeleteI love the rosette, you should make those for your shop!
Oh, college I am glad those days are far far down the road for my little one.
You sound so busy and fully booked for summer but fun with your fam.
Have a great time and enjoy!!!

Such a great clutch Theresa! I am personally frightened of my sewing machine so I have to admire what others make..lol. Enjoyed the fate of the chair..banished to the outdoors. I have a few chairs like that in my house too, perhaps I should take your lead.

I love the clutch!! The crocheted lace and rosette you added to it are perfect touches.
ReplyDeleteGlad to read you had a successful orientation. Can you believe our boys will be off to college soon? In less than a month we'll be driving Alex to MS for his first year. I'm sure I'll be in tears on the way home!
Happy WW.

Good Morning Theresa! I really don't know how you could bear to part with that clutch. It's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteSo that's where chairs that misbehave go. To the garden! It looks really happy there, with the petunias spilling out of it. Love that wire basket too, with those colorful balls just waiting to get played with!
Happy WW!

I am telling Kate on you :) Not painted yet :) Too busy making fabulous purses!!!! I can't believe you made it either! :) Gorgeous! What a lucky friend! I can't imagine the time you put into it!
ReplyDeleteCam's orientation! Did ya cry? Oh that will kill me when the time comes. Even if they went to school a block away..I am not so good with change :) Hope you are well! That little lady on your red door is amazing T!!!
Hi Theresa! Your clutch turned out great, I know your friend is going to love it just as much as I do!!
ReplyDeleteHello ~ it seems like my daughter just finished her orientation, yet she will be a senior this year! Time sure does fly! Love the chair in the garden!!
ReplyDeleteYou made me a purse! I love it! You really shouldn't have! Teehee.... I meant to post about this yesterday when I saw it. I guess I forgot. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteYes, Theresa, there is a way to get rid of Japanese beetles! Annnnnd..... it's chemical free! You know the bulbs of garlic that you buy in the grocery store? Take one of those and pluck off a bulb or two and plant at the base of the plant that the beetles are attacking. They hate garlic! The benefit is that if YOU love garlic it will grow also! I use so much garlic in my cooking that I just love this. No more beetles either munching on my beautiful flowers! When the garlic starts to grow a green spike will appear. No one will ever know that you have garlic growing in your flower beds.
that clutch is just LOVELY! and your garden chair/planter is adorable! thanks for sharing!
