Last year we had a weird early hot spell and then a late frost and it pretty much killed the season for flowering trees.
Well, regardless, they bring me joy, so I made them mine!.So that was my haul.
I also saw a big old spool that would have made a great table for $9, a wicker picnic basket for $4 and about 17 lamps I wanted to bring home and subject to hours of spray painting.I restrained myself until next time.. Oh yes, there will be a next time!I may still be a little bit freaked out, but I expect to be making a full recovery… and soon!Last week I showed you my.
string of lights.that I’d hung up in my mud room and I told you how they helped to set the tone for the whole room this Fall.. Today I’m going to show you just what I meant by that!.
I really didn’t know what I was going to do at all in here this year.
I knew it would involve corn, but that’s it.It’s one project that you can have done lickety split!
Find some fabric that you like.. Iron, measure, and cut: For my two lamp cord covers, I actually made 4 little mini covers since my fabric wasn’t long enough for two giant cord covers.So I cut 4 strips of fabric.
Instead of marking off my measurements, I like to iron a crease and just cut along the crease.I find it keeps everything neat and tidy and saves me from trying (and failing) to draw a straight line.. For one cord cover, I had 2 strips of fabric that measured a total of 1.5 times the length of my cord when placed end to end.
