Rain Rain Go Away

Hiya Blogland!! It's another rainy day at The Stone Fence Cottage. Where was all of this rain when my tomatoes needed it in July?? I'm feeling like a slug today, so glad it's my Friday off! A good day for a cup of tea and snuggling under an afghan in the recliner with Mr. Bill and KaeKae to watch my tv boyfriend Mark Harmon (Gibbs, NCIS-hubba hubba!!).

I found this gorgeous old picture at the Goodwill this week.  The frame was nicely carved but painted an ugly black. A spritz of Heritage White and some glaze made a huge improvement. It's not really as yellow as it shows in the before:

Hanging in the living room. It was hard to get a good picture of it with the glare from the glass. The colors are soft tans and greens. I LOVE it!! It's definitely a really old print--could find no signature but based on the type of paper and the style--I'm guessing turn of the century. Not bad for $2!!!

Now that I FINALLY got the cast off of my arm (the knee one still remains for now) I was able to finish some hooking UFO's.

Yarn hooked sheep and strawberry mat that now hangs in the kitchen (covering the weirdly placed unused phone jack)

Table runner made from recycled plaid skirts. I love to hook with them because you never quite know how they will turn out. I picked up a HIDEOUS navy blue and orange plaid 70's maxi skirt that I can't wait to see how it hooks.

Close-up of star. This runner when to a dear friend at church as a surprise blessing.

Mr. Bill and KaeKae helping me recycle wool. Hey, it's really TIRING supervising and looking cute!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!! Thanks for stopping by!!
