Fall in the kitchen... why yes, I did decide to make a little something for the kitchen out of a flour sack towel again.
Since we have been sprinkling fall throughout the cottage, I decided to share another idea on how to use flour sack towels. I made a cute little towel for the kitchen and I have to say I am pretty happy with how it turned out!
Things have gotten so tight around here for space since we packed up another home and brought it all over here, along with the fact Mr. VS seems to have a wife who also likes to shop, and craft... well, we will just say the cozy cottage is actually bursting at the seams now.
I keep saying I need to get rid of things, but I always see value in the items we have and think I will need it at a later date. And there is where Mr. VS would say I am a hoarder in the making... Ha! If you are a crafter too, then you know my dilemma, crafters never know when they will need that perfect piece to finish off the ultimate project!
We went through things this past weekend and I will have to say, I did throw some items away. We are going to make the spare bedroom a craft room for me!
Don't worry, I will share it with you once it is under way. We had a mishap this past weekend with a leaky faucet... GRR... we left on Saturday morning to get our pick up order.
When we came home, I was putting groceries away and stood by the sink, I felt water on my foot... we looked up under the sink and low and behold, the sink was leaking. It was wet under the sink, and had soaked down to the basement...
The shut off valves are older and I could not get them to budge. Finally, my guy was able to get them turned off. I had to put a fan on the floor to get the floor to dry up, yep... carpet in a kitchen stinks in cases such as this.
We have an order of events, and the kitchen is not on the highest priority list around here… oh the joys of owning an older home. Long story short... trying to get it shorter... we have no water in the kitchen.
When we have something like this happen, I go in a million different directions since it gets me all out of whack!
I needed a project to ground me again. I decided to sit down at the dining room table and just let go...
Stenciling is so easy, if you take your time, you can worry less about bleed through. I did purchase new stencil brushes where the center has longer bristles than the outer edges. I read where it helps with bleed through too.
This was just what the doctor ordered... I needed the time to wind down after all that happened this weekend. I am strung pretty tight these days and hoping to have some R&R in November. We always take vacation at the end of October into November. Of course, I have a project all lined up for us, I just hope we can find all of the supplies we need to complete it. We had planned on doing it last year, but then materials became impossible to locate.
