Saturday Stuff . . .

A little more Red, White, & Blue! 

I was looking for a bag that I wanted to use today and found this one that my mom made me a few years ago.  It is made out of a pair of jeans that I wore when I was probably 17 years old.  I had forgotten that I had it. 

I am a little surprised that my mom kept the jeans as long as she did.  I loved those jeans.  She patched them so often . . . until I think one day she said they were simply just wore out.  I think I embroidered the flowers on the front.  I will have to tell her that I found it - she will laugh.

I had hoped to make today a little more productive than it was, but I did get a few doll bodies sewn and this old frame spray painted.  It was a junky old frame painted hunter green . . . now it looks fun and made for summer.  I have a spot outside near where I hang our pool towels that I think would be a good place for it. I just bought some spray paint . . . this lime green, pink, turquoise, and gold.  I am going to have to find some other things to paint tomorrow.  I love playing with spray paint!

Lunch and a game of cards with Richard . . .

Weekends are great even when I am off from work.

loving spray paint . . .

While we were on our way to see the giant sequoias this weekend we stopped at a small peddler's fair.  We didn't spend much time there - but it looks as if it is there permanently, so we plan on going back.  I found this frame for $4.  All it needed was some spray paint . . .

. . . now what to do with it?
