I always seem to share on Facebook and forget to share here on my blog.  So I had a few minutes and thought I'd let you all see what I've been sewing today.  Also my little "something new" for the table and the inspiration to one of my sewing projects.

First off, here is the "something new"..

The sun was setting as I ate dinner and I had to run for the camera to capture this.  It was so pretty!

I added two birds and the topiary to the center and decided I really love it for now.

Then after seeing this I knew I had to make my own rendition.  Isn't this gorgeous?!

Here's mine...

A little more simple for our bath...but planning on making one like Annamarie's for the girls bath later.

I just love how it turned out.  Hannah helped me on the design...she said no more ruffles!  I think she was right!

Then I made new slipcovers for these shades to go on this lamp.

I had bought 2 of these and re-did them totally by painting the lamps and ripping off the fabric that were on the shades.  Then I made slipcovers to replace the fabric so it would be easy to just take off and throw in the wash.

So there ya have it...what I've been up to for the last couple of days.

The weather was yucky today so I knew I had to pull out my sewing machine.  I absolutely LOVE to sew!

Hope you all have a great and blessed weekend!
