Flag Day, Make do and Patriotic's:

Happy Flag Day blog friends!

It's been quite beautiful weather here in the valley

 lately and I've been busy as usual.

I finally got to work on some wood and create some make do chairs out of the ladder backs I told you about a few posts back.

This first one I did in black homespun.

I was going to leave the wings off the side, but just wasn't happy with how it looked.

So I took it to the work shop and cut some wings out of pine ~ painted them black and transformed the chair to this. I love how it turned out! 

Then I did one in a tapestry print and covered the wings to match. 

They are a lot of work, but the out come prim perfect!!

Here's some of the Patriotic I've been making.

Patriotic Eagles ~ design by Kentucky Primitives.

The last couple of evenings I've been drawing and cutting a lot of fall items to start on.

Fall is the biggest selling time ~ at least for me and every year I say I'm going to 

get a stock pile of items done, so I'm not so stressed ~ so for me to start on them in June is a big step.

Not to mention the Rt. 11 yard crawl is fast approaching!! Yikes!

It's the second Saturday in August.

I best get busy,

 but with these beautiful summer days,

 it's so hard not to go outside and play.

Wishing you all a beautiful fun filled weekend!

Blessings,
