what's a girl to do on a blah day?
eat chocolate?
create?
I decided to go with the create option. I have this yummy piece of burlap I was planning to make into a table runner for my kitchen table. See how nice and light it is, I believe it is called oyster, but it's basically off-white!
Teamed it up with some nice creamy white muslin and white broderie anglaise lace
Anyways, after I saw the gorgeous coffee sack runner my junking friend Janis of junkdreams created (you have to hop over and follow her blog, she is so amazing and unbelievably creative)...
I decided to leave the kitchen table runner for now and make a smaller rectangular one
okay, I confess
what I really wanted to do was make ruffles. Nothing cures the blahs like a few ruffles...
so here we have it, I put on two fluffy ruffles and a piece of lace.
Okay, I added the lace 'cos I was too lazy to finish the top of the ruffle!
but honestly I hardly ever get to finish a project in one sitting and today I just had to!
it is perfect for my narrow shaker nesting tables
white pitcher. white nemesis flowers. shabby white candlestick.vintage jars with scrabble tiles and boggle dice
doesn't get much better than that girls
looooove vintage glass jars
looooove scrabble tiles and vintage game pieces
looooove shabby white candlesticks (for sale in my etsy store)
turned out pretty nice I think!
and this is how it looks in my real world, with my lamp that needs a shade revamp and an outdated family photo. shabby at heart I do like a touch of black in the room!
feel so much better, and now I'm off to eat chocolate!!
and gaze at my pretty ruffles
Happy days,
Tracey
