Front Porch as Promised

I was just in one of those moods the other day and had this darling metal/wire three tiered garden shelf, so I put it in the corner of the front porch, stuck some plants, birdbouses, pumpkins and threw in a watering can for good measure and there you have 10 minute decorating for fall.  What do you think?  I like it.

The two trees were from a yard sale I went to.  They did not work for their intended purpose but look gret here.  The plant in the front is a shamrock from Great Grandmother, had it for 38-39 years now.

This is just  a little top heavy with plants, I plan on fixing that today.  maybe I can find something to put on or around the door . . . I will have to check the garage stash.

Birdhouse from Joanne's Fabric store, 70% clearance.

This bird house my daughter painted for me.

I just love the wire scallops on each shelf and the curly cue legs on this piece.

This is my trusty watering can, my stand by for decorating when nothing else works.  I still need a cute door mat, less plants on to and something around the door.  . . . . I  will work on that and then the presto chango for Christmas . . .



Happy Quilting,

Creative Cleanup

My quilt square from Mom's Quilt with my own pattern models, on a metal shelf from Home Goods.

Another Home Goods shelf with pincushions on it

Birthday Flower Pot with essential tools in it.

Some of my ribbon assortment is a Lowe's $3.25 three drawer roll around tower.

Antique spools with rick rack wrapped on them in bottom drawer with small rick rack wrapped on cardboard.

Oh the sewing room cleanup and neatness goes on.  A bit more progress has been made and that is what I am showing you today.  It is slow but coming along.  I decluttered the shelves of buttons and ribbons.  Now my cute things are where I can enjoy them.  I have removed the rick rack from the wall units and wrapped them around an old wooden spool and placed them in a drawer.  The ribbon has claimed the top drawer and is no longer on the wooden shelf.  Out of sight is peaceful.  I already find I can get more done.  As I took pics of the finish, I realized, I really was not finished at all.  The neatness continues with more drawers and less things to deal with . . . wish me luck

Happy Quilting,
