I think that's a great idea...but I definitely would like to do it within the context of a school setting, for sure!!!<br /><br />@Sheila..<br />Thanks for your compliments. When I start working again, I want to buy some paint and brushes and make that storage bench look really pretty.<br /><br />@Terri...Hey...knitting every row is good too :) ): :) You can make some really cute dishcloths that way, too. I've done it. I'll have to see if I can dig up a photo somewhere :) :) when you're finished, maybe you could post a pic? I'd love to see what you made!!!<br /><br />@Barb/Dogmom Diva..<br />You are so sweet. You are already following my blog :) ) I changed my background a few days ago, so it looks a bit different.

I'll have to look for it today. I love your ideas for the bench. I think it would look lovely creamy white with some pink and green--I can just picture it now!! Have a blessed week!! <br />Hugs, SheilaSheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813022311330177395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229227706114386148.post-30777327837345501652010-07-25T01:08:08.780-07:002010-07-25T01:08:08.780-07:00Hi Heather,

@Jill...Oh, I received your email...Hi ladies :) :)<br /><br />@Jill...Oh, I received your email just fine :) :) :) Thank you!!!...and I'm praying!!! I just am waiting for a quiet moment to respond..<br />I might try right-clicking on a file and see what happens. Otherwise, I can drag/drop individual photos. I can't drag/drop from Kodak EasyShare..but all those photos are also found in the Windows PHoto Gallery...as individual pictures..so I have to click on individual or groups of photos..and rename each and every one..slow going..but I practice on some photos tonight. It's a little slow, but it worked great :) :) I'll have backups of the backups :)<br /><br />@Aime...does super cute white fluffy dog have a name? I think you mentioned in one of your posts awhile back and I forgot :( :( Sorry...but I do recognize fluffy white dog's super cuteness factor :) :) I've only been to an actual tea place a couple of times. If you are ever in Springfield, Oregon...there's an antique shop/tea room called "Ruthie B's" They have all sorts of super cute antiques and it's grouped by colors..so each section is a different color...reds, greens, blues etc...and in each sectino there's a nice big table with chairs. People can have tea sitting amongst the antiques. I did that once. It was FUN!!!<br /><br />@Anne...I know the raccoon chatter now. So I"m going to be listening to it tonight...those little bandits :) :) Thanks for the compliment on the purple flower/bee photo. It was purely accidental. I tried hard to get a photo with a bee on the flower. I thought that it failed...but when I uploaded the photos after we got home...lo and behold, it was there!!! I was so happy. My dad thought it was cool too. There were quite a few regular bees flying around too. So whatever that flower is, it was an oasis for bees!!! I'm sorry to hear about your hubby's mom!!! I'm keeping you, him and the rest of the fam. in my prayers!!! Extra love and hugs for you!!!<br /><br />I hope you all have a great Sunday and a good week. Please pray for my friend Anne!!! She's a sweetheart and her hubby's heart is especially sad today!!!<br /><br />Love and hugs, Heather!!!!Heather's Blog-o-ramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490555197097928275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229227706114386148.post-12916277913741354302010-07-24T22:05:54.276-07:002010-07-24T22:05:54.276-07:00A racoon once stood my hubby off the patio!

I was not purposefully looking for one. I was just looking for a yard sale. when I spotted this, I knew it was a deal too good to pass up because it could fill a need, add some romantic country charm to my home...and a lady can never have to much cute stuff in her house :) :) :) Now I need to paint this and some of the other things. I've thought about leaving it in it's natural state and painting on it...or using a nice ivory white and adding some cute romantic pink flourishes or something. It's nice to have this kind of "problem" :) :)<br />Have a great weekend!!!

They can also be nasty! :(<br /><br />The white flower is Morning Glory I think. I don't know about the purple.<br /><br />Your thrift store finds are great! I love the storage bench...very useful and for such a GREAT price! :) Isn't the LORD so gracious to provide us with all we need and so much more?<br /><br />Blessings to you!<br />CamilleCamillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838089502798643241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229227706114386148.post-7893326847472001622010-07-24T18:33:31.829-07:002010-07-24T18:33:31.829-07:00Hi Sheila...

It's two stitches ..knit and pearl...and an occasional slipped stitch. ..very, very easy...I promise...the overall affect is really nice :) :) I did write to one of the book's authors and asked if I could share the pattern. She said I couldn't because of the agreement with the publisher. So what I would recommend is check out the book from your library first (assuming they have it)...browse it..and then if you really like it, go buy it :) :)<br /><br />I love that bench. I need to clean it out a little still...but I think that it would look so cute painted a creamy white with some nice pinks, greens etc...make it Shabby Chin, romantic country Victorian etc...:) :) :)<br /><br />Hugs, Heather :)Heather's Blog-o-ramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490555197097928275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229227706114386148.post-22999345100052860212010-07-24T16:15:22.178-07:002010-07-24T16:15:22.178-07:00Heather,

Very nice storage bench--great price too! I like the thought of a round table cloth on a rectangular table--it will make a statement! <br />Is the ballband dishcloth relatively easy? I've thought of making one but then I get intimidated when I look at it--it looks hard!! Love the colors of this one. <br />I love sleeping with a window open--I even did that when we lived in Alaska for 7 years! Alas, we don't have screens here so I have to keep the windows closed. <br />Off to check out your newest followers. I hope you have a blessed evening.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813022311330177395noreply@blogger.com
