Piillow

The size of the pillow is 35" X 40"
I wanted to make a giant pillow with the left over material from the bench, so here is the final product.

One more picture of Belle sitting in her...oh I forgot what you call it!!!! Isn't she a doll!!!!! She is the happiest most content baby.....Let's do it again, soon!!

A Visit With Belle....

I got to go visit Gina and Belle today....I had so much fun!!!!!!!
Belle is a mama's girl...and I mean that in a good way....it wasn't long before she realized I WAS NOT her mommy....

Downstairs...

I found some cute stars, and decided to use them as labels for the bins under the bench...
I found these cute magnetic alphabet letters.....for the chalk board...
I thought I would liven up the calkboard...
One of the star labels on the bins.....

April Showers Brings...What???

It IS April 30...
Water in the little creek in front of our house...
Looking out from the back patio....
Grama's playground is so empty....
Notice the trees and shrubs up close to the house......

Finished bench at last!!!

At long last....the bench cover....
It's perfect!
Only READERS can sit on Grama's bench!!
Don't you just love the pattern?
Close-up view...double click for even a closer look!!
This has been the day I have waited for!!! The bench cover is finished...thanks to my friends Cindy Jenkins, and Mary Margaret Scott. I am so amazed at the excellent job they did! The cover ties in the back...making it easy to take off and wash when I need to. I absolutely LOVE it!!!!! Thanks Cindy and Mary Margaret!!!

Getting It Right!

A cute flower I got and put it in the kitchen...
Doug thought the TV was too high...so we took the bottom out from underneath the entertainment center, and used it for an end table, cause Doug didn't think what I got was quite right....we also took out the oversized chair and ottoman....which really opens up the room....we moved the table and chairs and centered it under the light and ceiling fan..which made all the difference...
So, I put this new vase with flowers on the original end table I got....and set it by the TV and entertainment center....
Here is the bottom of the entertainment center next to the couch.....
The pillows I made are to the left of the TV.....
Doug came down today, and wanted to see my makeover downstairs. So we went down, and he told me what was wrong.....so changes we made!!! By the way he has been my mentor through all of this...I have really valued his opinion......
