Redwork

After years and I mean years of working on and off on this rework piece, I finally pulled it out and finished it.  The pattern came from a Country Living magazine back when they would publish patterns and building instructions.  

Here is my Instagram close-up. 

I now need to make it into something to use.  Probably will be a pillow.  These pillows are inspiring me. Okay, NEVER MIND!  I thought I saved photos of some beautiful grain sack pillows.  Even with the ease of Pinterest, I can't locate them.  Maybe I didn't hit "Repin". Now, it's going to bother and frustrate me.  It's funny how I seem to remember things that I can't locate and forget things that are right in front of me.  Oh well, here's another pretty Red Work piece.

Look at how sweet this little girl is.  I love the inclusion of the fabric.

Pop of Red

A couple of weeks ago I found this little table for $25.  Not a bad price for such a cutie.  

The drab yellow was kind of ho hum, though.

 There was an aqua layer underneath, which would've been much prettier!

  It's been transformed to a BRIGHT red!

Now this spot is perfect for reading a book with a cup of tea.

Do you suppose these stripes add too much width?

I'm going to use this on an upcoming project.

I love how this girl has blue accessories with her polka dot dress! Very cute.

I'm always very attracted to red. Red clothes, red rooms, red paper, etc. . .  The top photos are 1. Katrin Cargill; 2. bhg; 3. Katrin Cargill; 4. Katrin Cargill; 5. bhg.  I'm having a little trouble spacing my photos today for some reason.  What color is attracting your attention?
