Another finish!!

Happy Sunday!
I finished another project - Casting a Spell by Blackbird Designs. I made a huge mistake - I guess I didn't read ALL the directions so the 4 bigger pieces are on too small size fabric. They are suppose to be laced and then glued down - I just stuck them in there on a mound of batting.

You can tell on the right side ones that I did try to lace them anyway - but the left side looks better so I will probably undo the lacing. *grrrrrrr* I think it's cute but I am irritated with myself for such a silly mistake!!  I am now working on this Jardin Prive...

I'm half way done with it so next week I will have another finish!!
We bought curtains for the one window in the new living room. We bought them from Primitive Home Decors. It's hard to take a picture of a window. I took one and then one of the tie backs (also from Primitive Home Decors) and the cute bird curtain rod (Lowes) Isn't that corner cute - love it!!

We also bought a toilet paper holder from Primitive - they really have some lovely stuff!

 I remembered to get a picture of the ottoman we just got - great price on that thing!!

It has a nice wood tray underneath - The front opens and the tray comes out...

 This weekend we went to Bloomington because we heard of a big antique mall - waaaaaaay overpriced!!! Yikes!! I did find a "Lucky Brand" purse that I just had to have! I tried to look it up online to see if I was paying too much but I can't find one like it anywhere.It's brand new suede - the green and brown are pockets and it has pockets on the side - adorable!

While there we found a delicious pizza place called Mother Bear's Pizza  First we had stuffed shrooms and then we got a half  Dante's Inferno and half Pride of Palermo -it was really good!! We also went to a bakery - Scholars Inn Bakehouse we got cupcakes (one lemon and one pumpkin), a brownie and a bar with coconut, chocolate and nuts on it (can't remember the name).
Last year when we went to Live and Breath we bought a few letterboxing patches. I finally sewed them on today. I really hate sewing patches - the fabric is always hard - I even had to use pliers on some of them. They are in hard to reach spots and it makes your fingers hurt! I had 13 to sew on- blech. Ryder bought Scott a tool backpack for Christmas to use as a boxing bag - so half the patches went on his. It's a great bag for boxing - has a rubber bottom and lots of loops to put flashlights and pens (his is in the left - mine has pink on it Taylor gave it to me as a Christmas gift a few years ago)

We've had a nice weekend - Hope you have too!! Thanks for stopping by...
