Hi Blog Friends,
I just wanted to post a quick Hello and let you all know I am feeling better and working on some new items. Once I have them finished I'll post some pics for ya. I am so behind on everything, loosing two weeks dealing with this infection, I wasn't able to do a thing and I hate just lying around. lol.
I started feeling better on Saturday and I had this old mattress I wanted to cut open to get the springs out of., so since it was a cool fall day I thought that would be the perfect thing to do. It took me both Saturday and Sunday to cut all the springs out. I did not realize they would be coiled together with wire, I thought they were tied with rope, silly me. It was a lot of work, but I know have about 270 bed springs. I may sell some of them if any one's interested. I'll have to get some pics together for ya.
Thanks to all of you for your sweet comments and concerns.
Gotta get back to sewing and painting. Post again soon.
Prim Blessings,
Jean
Glad to hear you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with the bed springs!

Hi Jean: Glad to hear that you're feeling better! Wondered where you purchase the orange homespun that you wrapped my goodies with? a quilt shop? I bought the same fabric at an antique/fabric shop but they are out and I am low...and they don't know the manufacturer...do you know who makes it? thanks!

Wow! Girl, that's lots of bed springs! I wish I had more time to create, I would buy some from you. But if I did, I know they would sit and I don't have anywhere to store them. Maybe next year when my 'lil guy is in school all day instead of half-days I'll have more time. I just love all the make-do's I always see with the springs. The rustic look if very prim. Well, have fun with them!
