Whatcha Working on Wednesday...

It's Wednesday again, and I have a few finished projects to share this week. First is this little red bench. I found it unfinished at the TS for $2, just your basic little pine piece from a craft store. I had a before picture, but it's disappeared from the memory stick. My husband gets delete happy sometimes, though he normally asks. Anyway, I knew it would be perfect to stack on the antique grey stool, so I really beat it up and rounded off the egdes to age it. It's not quite as bright as it appears, but I used two shades of red, so you can see both as well as the wood in the worn places. I found that funky handcarved bunny the same day, and he looks quite at home in this rustic little spot. I also finished up the needlepunch from a few weeks ago. I haven't decided what I will do with it, but for now, it looks fine on Emma's lap.And last, here's a closer shot of the burlap pillow I finished a few days ago. I like the contrast of the rough texture next to the paisley cushions.So that's what's keeping me busy around here, along with all the usual Mom stuff. Be sure to stop by My Country Home and see what Leslie and all her creative friends are up to!
