Project 24 Side of Road Dresser

It is with great happiness I finish Project 24.  This has been on the list since July 2019 but sitting in my garage since the spring.
 
 
It was sitting by someone's trash.  I thought I had to have it.  It had no drawers.  I removed the top drawer board just by hammering it till it broke.  The drawer slids were also removed.  I put new boards in to support the shelves . 
 
 
I kind of lost steam at that point and simply walked around it in the garage.  So I brought it into the living room so I had to walk around it in the house.  Home Depot cut the plywood shelves for me.  I painted the body a color I already had.  Then once again I lost all interest.  Finally last week I covered the top shelf in fabric and painted the bottom 2 shelves.  Yesterday I finally put the bottom back on and gave the outside of the dresser a second coat.

 
It came out okay but I'm thrilled it is done!!

Project 38 Family of Birds

Okay.  Truth is I have been working on this cross stitch for over 5 years. I was stitching over 1 with blended threads.  So you cross once with one color then cross with the other color.  This was so difficult and not fun.  So I started over - over 2
 


This doesn't look like I've been much but I like it so much better!

Project 35 Mill Hill Stockings were hung

I love Mill Hill kits!  I finish them quickly and I think they look so special when finished.
 
 
This is the latest finish.  From 1994, it deserved to be finished.

Project 45 Change Bedroom Dresser

No pictures but I finally changed out the dresser.  I threw away a sack of trash and took a bag to Goodwill. 

Project 34 Holiday on Ice

I have a finish!  Yay!
 

 
Okay, this thing is small.  About 2" x 6".  And it took forever!
 
I think this kit was from the 80s and for some reason I really like the ice skating pictures.
It will be added to the collection.

Project 41 Mend Quilt for Birthday Present

This is a quilt I made my eldest son over 10 years ago.   He moved from Kansas to DC so I wanted him to feel at home.  He asked me to fix the quilt 2 years ago while I was grieving his brother and not doing much.  So of course I decided it was time to get this completed. 
 
 
I research quite abit for how to do this correctly and finally settled on a satin stitch.  I did white and red against blue and white and blue against the red.

 
It turned out great!  Quilts are made to be used and loved.  I also finished before his birthday!!
