Oh My YES! I've Been ONE Busy GIRLIE!

I've been sayin' for weeeeeks now that I've been a VERY busy girlie....

Jan over at www.bobbypinsboardwalk.blogspot.com has a weekly BRAGFEST...Now, doesn't that sound like fun? And, a great time to BRAG about my progress around the cottage. :-)


I'm also linking to Sweet Marla's WooHoo Wednesday over at www.alwaysnesting.blogspot.com.


If you have never visited these sweet chickies do pop over and check out their wonderful blogs. You'll LOVE 'em!


Promise.



So, I'm totally prepared for lots of WooHooing and Bragging here.


I started blogging nearly a year and a half ago....on on of my very fist posts I talked about getting the fabric for my den. I showed said fabric on my blog many times.


I have finally finished every bit of sewing for that room.


And, all of the sewing for the master bedroom (except the slipcover for my little chair.....still working on that so I'll give you a peek of that one later)...

I've made:

13 pillows
3 1/2 slipcovers
2 bolster pillows
shower curtain
bathroom curtain
vanity curtain
daybed cover
bedroom curtains
den curtains

See, don'tcha think I have some big time WooHooing and braggin' comin'??


Above: Pillows for our bedroom... :-)



Vintage barkcloth era fabrics on the big ones....with some lovely vintage lace.

And, a yummy vintage doily on the little one....and that blue check? That's what's left of one of my very favorite shirts of my hubby's. :-) He looked so cute in that shirt.

My plan was to do our bedroom for less than 100.00 dollars.....I'm a smidge over that and haven't bought the paint yet....but still.........not bad, right?

This little slipcover is made from a vintage sheet.

Happy little thing, isn't it?

And, it had a lovely hemstitched edge........

Pillows for our bed.

I am loving the blue check.

Some things for the den.

The cottage is a pretty simple and casual place.


I got the plaid dupioni silk for a song and used lots of lovely linen for some of the other things.....and because I AM Tightwad Tilly, there is some canvas dropcloth mixed in too.

Just ignore the wrinkles. These things have been piled up. The cottage is soooo tiny and I don't have anywhere to actually store the stuff that is in progress, so they're piled on top of each other. If I took time to make them all pretty for this post I couldn't be working on other things. :-)

I simply did not have enough thrifted fabric for the master bath, so I was thrilled to have found a nice polka dot sheet set at Marshall's for 25.00.


Shower curtain, vanity curtain and window curtain with TONS of ruffles.


Good thing the Hubbs has his own bathroom.

I LOVE girlie.

The bolsters and the daybed cover in the lower right corner are for the den. They're silk and I actually got a bedspread at Tuesday Morning that I made the cover and bolsters out of.


Now you can see why I've been such a lousy bloggie friend. I am sooo trying to get done with these rooms...............spring clean and get onto my sewing room.


I really should take a picture of the spot where I sew. I have a TINY little area where I'm whipping all these things up.


I want to win the BH&G room re-do contest. What I wouldn't give to have a really nice sewing space. :-)



Ok girlies. Please don't miss all of the other fun.


I love ya'all.....



Whew....I am such a jabberbox today.



Now, do I hear some WooooHoooooo's?
