Flea Market Friday!

And here's what I made today! I plan on doing something "special" with it. Just a little fabric pin cushion but it took me a while to figure out how to make it.

Oh my, I almost forgot it's FMF! I thought I'd share this little plate I bought and put the decal on. BUT it is NOT for sale. There were only 2 in a little boutique and I bought both and gave away the other one. Feast your eyes on this little chickie. Then head on over to my Connie's other blog and look what I have over there, my little cherubs!

Life is a Series of Photoshoots or Why Are You Taking Pictures of My Refrigerator?

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
on yellow watermelon!!! It tasted yellow not pink! Hah. Actually tasted just like a pink/red watermelon if you can get past the yellow look!

Jack is always wondering why I'm taking pictures of his shop, ties, chili supper, spaghettti, lettuce and the refrigerator. I don't know other than I need material for blog posts. I take a look at everything that has the potential for a good blog story.

Well, today we went to WM and he got a watermelon. It was kinda funny looking. Green stripes were all over it. He said it was fine. Well, I just cut it and it's "yellow" not the red watermelons I'm used to. I've never had a yellow watermelon. Hope it tastes good!!

Then I tried getting it in the fridge. Not much room in there when we've got 15 bottles of salad dressing in there for our dieting. But it is clean and tidy. Lots of food.

Some Exciting News, Sweet Chickadees!

My sweet dear friend Stephanie of Angelic Accents and I have had our heads together (yeah, yeah, dangerous I know!) and talking about hosting something and have come up with a wonderful idea. She and I have just opened up new blogs with the purpose of selling only of our Flea Market Friday items. So to help us celebrate our grand openings and to help you become acquainted with our goodies we are offering, we've decided that both of us do a BLOG GIVEAWAY! And, my sweet chickadees, when we give something away, it is a treat. :-) Connie - ME! - is giving this away.

So here is what you have to do:

Contest GIVEAWAY runs from Friday, June 13th to Friday, June 20th at midnight. Just visit Connie's new blog here and Stephanie's new blog here and leave us a comment and your name will be thrown in the hat for a drawing.

Purchase an item and you name will thrown in the hat TWICE!

How cool is that?!?! Two separate GIVEAWAYS! Two wonderful gifts! Two new blogs!

AND while you are blogging tomorrow, be sure and check out all our other friends who are selling items on Flea Market Friday. There truly are some great buys out there.

Blue Clothespins Bag

I truly hate to admit this but I've almost forgotten how to make these little bags! I thought I had written down instructions but nuuuuuuuu, can't find where I had written them down or made a pattern so it was back to step one. I had to make 2 of them to figure out the dimensions to fit the hanger. Sheeeeeshhhhhhhh...... But I think I've finally got it figured out. This is my little practice one for today. It kind of reminds me of europe with the fabric.

Okay, enough lollygagging - got to go write down the instructions or make a pattern before I forget it again. Oh, btw, I'd keep watching my blog for a couple of days. You just never know what I might do............hmmmmmmmm......... I've giving you fair warning, sweet chicks!!! Hah........ :-)

Shabby Roses Clothespin Bag

This is one of the clothespin bags I've used in my laundry. See, laundry rooms don't have to be dull or boring! Mine certainly isn't. I make them out of roses and lace and pretty fabrics to go with my home.

In the laundry room I put up a border and message board and little cute boards with pegs on them. I've posted one little picture below. My broom, feather dusters, dust pan and various thing I hang are on ribbon hangers.

If you want to see it in its entirety click on the little picture to the right here and take a peek. It's hard to get good pix in there because we had a solar tube installed and there is so much light it's almost impossible to photograph properly.

Bye the way, I've created a new blog to post items for sale. I don't want to do it on here so you might like looking at it from time to time. I've still not had a lot of time to put items on but if you are interested you can take a look at this little bag on there for sale now. I plan on making more of them. I also plan on selling a LOT of decorating books on there in the near future. I doubt you'll be disappointed! But this blog is just for "blogging." The other one is to sell and you can to view it by clicking on La Maison Rose.
