Sneak Peak

Here is a sneak peak at my new  skirt I sewed for the kitchen.  Yep! I actually sewed !!!!!!!
Got out the trusty ole Sears sewing machine I have had since I was in High School!!!!! Sewed a few straight lines.

Fabric I had in my storage bin.


Old skirt.

New Skirt!!!! I got the walls painted.  The hubby is going to paint the trim and crown molding and ceiling this week end and then I can finish decorating this kitchen and putting it back together.  So far only money spent was the can of paint and there will be a whole new look to this French Farmhouse kitchen.  Stay tuned for the reveal.
Make sure you come back tomorrow for Spotlight Susan and I have two new sweet bloggers for you to learn about.
See you tomorrow.
Kris

    Hi Kris! Love this fabric; I like that it isn't script in a language I can't understand but is an alphabet. My old Kenmore died a couple years ago and I really really miss it. I purchased it in High School too with my first paycheck back in '73-74. I picked up a $99 Singer and it is only good for beginners. Looking forward to the reveal. Jeannette

    Love your new curtain, Kris! I have just a few scraps left of the same fabric. I got a lot of projects out of it. It sounds like you jumped right in with your kitchen project. Can't wait to see it when it is all done!

    Kris, I love the fabric - it really looks good. Can hardly wait to see your new kitchen. Hopefully your weather is warming up for you. Your poor husband having to go out on calls when it's so cold.
    Have a terrific weekend.

    I love your new sink skirt, it's the perfect touch. I miss the skirt I had in my old kitchen, maybe I'll end up putting one in my new kitchen.

    I love the new skirt, Kris! My sewing machine is almost 35 years old, too, but as long as it sews a straight line, it's good enough for me. I can't wait for the reveal!

    Nice. Hey, I take it your kitchen counters are wood?? So how do you like them? Do you have to oil them or are they covered with polyurethane? I just wonder how they stand up and pros and cons and so forth!
