WIP times 3

the weather has been so good here in Ontario

I totally forgot to go inside and share my world with you lovelies

so here is a little WIP show of what is going on here


I started knitting a scarf of the silk yarn I found in Vancouver

following the design on the right ~ large colored blocks with a little cream white in between


while enjoying my coffee or tea and the pretty Anthropologie mug


after repainting two thriftstore tables, which I will show later on

I decided to add some floral happiness to the drawers

which was so much fun to work on!


and the drawers are happy and pretty now in the fresh painted sewing table...

...on which I do my homework for the quilting class!


I absolutely love the floral fabric in the second picture

the rest of the quilt fabrics I picked to match it

and I never could have imagined quilting would be that much fun to do, really I love it

again more about that later

~ wishing you a happy new week! ~

    Those drawers look great! I have that same floral fabric, but haven't cut into it yet. Can't wait to see your quilt! P.S. I was born in Ontario (have family in Toronto) but now live in California. Glad you are enjoying your new Canadian home!!
