before.

As mentioned recently, I have been putting a fresh coat of paint on the trim around my sewing room.  Brightening up the place.  And now the paint will hit the furniture.  
I am so excited!  This is my first little project.  A sweet little table that was handed down from a friend.  I will show it to you when finished.  Hopefully in the next day or two.
I played a little bit with those blocks I showed you yesterday.  Thanks for the response given.  The more I cut and squared, the more I realized, that if my blocks are not spot on, there is no way I would want to place them for sale.  So, instead, they will become a quilt top.  I know what you are thinking ... yes, I do have many projects going at once.  I thrive that way.
What I have really been wanting to show you, is this adorable pouch.  Isn't it the cutest?  Last year, Kimberly and I made a little swap.  My granny square scarf for her cute pouch and two little wallets (were the perfect size for gift cards at Christmas).  I love my little pouch.  It is the perfect size for crochet hooks, and even my grannies fit nicely in there, perfect when toting around.  Thanks so much Kimberly!!

  3. That little table is so cute! I can't wait to see what becomes of it. So sorry I didn't get over soon enough to comment on the previous post's question, but sounds like you reached a conclusion.

    I think I thrive on many projects at the same time too. :)

  5. Love that little table, although if it lived at my house, you'd never see its cuteness for all the stuff that would be piled on top! (And since we had our second snow day in a row here, my lovely scarf is being put to goooood use!)
    Hugs, Kimberly
