Memorial weekend fun

I hope you all had a nice Memorial Day weekend. We sure did. Things were pretty low key around the Smith house and I loved every minute of it.

I started out the weekend by hitting up a few garage sales Saturday morning. It was rainy and not really a good weekend for garage sales, but I did manage to find a few and ended up with some fabulous finds!!! I have been wanting to do an arrangement for our front door. So I was so happy to find this white Southern Living hanging "basket thingy" and it was still in the original package. I do not like the white, but that is what paint is for, right?! That will be a project for this coming weekend.

I also have been wanting something to hang in the kitchen to hold my cookbooks and I found just the thing. Yes, another painting project...for this weekend. Pictures to come of the finished products.

Since sewing has become my favorite past time, I have a HUGE fabric obsession!! I mean, HUGE!!!!! I go crazy over fabrics and could literally walk around in a fabric store for hours! So, I was SOOO excited to find this burlap fabric at a garage sale for a $1.00....I am in the process of turning that piece of $1.00 fabric into a few seat cushions for my wicker chairs on the front porch. They are definitely the cheapest pillows that I have EVER purchased! :o)

Speaking of pillows, I spent the rest of my weekend sewing. I have been wanting to add a little "wildness" to my living room. So I made these zebra throw cushions for our furniture. I was a little hesitant at first because I didn't think it would really match, but I do have to say that I like the look that it gives!!!! What do you think, honestly?!?!Monday we spent the day just hanging out and relaxing. Wade grilled us some yummy ribs and corn and it was delicious!!!!!!! I hope you all had a great weekend as well. School is now out and summer is officially here which means our beach trip is getting closer and closer!!! WOOHOO!!!
