~Whatcha Working on Wednesday~

Good evening blogging friends!
I know I'm late for WWW but I didn't want to miss it again like I did last week, it just makes me do prim stuff that I usually would put off:)

I finally covered a book in homespun! It was really easy to do and I plan on making more to stack. I didn't have any spray adhesive so I just used mod podge a little bit messy but it worked just fine. I had saved Char's tutorial on covering the books so I just followed her instructions only I didn't use a pocket because I want to make more and put them on top of each other.

The Liberty sign I found yard selling Saturday and forgot to show you...this is on top of my stove board, it's the only place that isn't covered with dust.LOL I also used 6 strands of black DMC on the inside cover...makes it look really prim I think. The book is the 1909 one I found at GW, it's a small book so more than likely it will be the top one on the stack.



Here is also a pic of it standing up! Loved how it turned out and didn't take long at all!


Today I went to Alex's graduation from pre-school, I'll show pictures on tomorrow's blog.


I weeded out by the pool house to get ready to put some pink impatients in tomorrow while I have Samantha with me and do the flower boxes out front...I bought red geraniums for there and some tiny white flowers that will hang over the side. The weather here is just perfect it was 80 today and not humid at all...I wish the whole summer could be this way:)
Stop over at Leslie's blog to see what everyone is up to:)
Have a great evening everyone!

  1. I am so loving all of your blue, Rondell! Great job covering the book. I can't wait to see the gatherings you'll create once you finish up the other ones...

    I think your weather is headed here for tomorrow! We are so looking forward to some sunshine and warmth. It's been damp and chilly here so far this week.

    Enjoy those new flowers and touches of summer...

  14. What a great prim looking book that you made. It has certainly given me an idea to put down for something to do over my summer break. :) There is a small craft shop near our home that does something like this not only with books, but calendars and checkbook covers as well.

    I really love the liberty sign that you have on your stove. It looks primfect! Maybe I will be able to find one of those while garage sale shopping.

    We are having great weather here too. I am very excited about the weekend and all of the things that are planned. Certainly the weather is what I am looking so forward to most because I can get outside all weekend and get my plants potted and some other things finished.

    Have a great day! Thanks for another great idea. :)

    Blessings and Perfect Prims,
    Stacey
