Out on the Porch



Yes. I'm still working at it.


Here, I used a bit of old fabric placed in embroidery hoops...hung on an old, wire dog pin scrap.


Surely, I can figure the rest of it out before the end of the summer...

Pin It Now!

    I just found your blog and have really enjoyed looking through your posts. Your porch is looking great, but are we really ever finished? I know I'm always tweaking, adding, subtracting and changing things.

    By the way I just picked up a side of a dog crate also with pretty much the same idea you had for using it.

    Joyfully,
    Elizabeth Ann

    Looks awesome!! Consider it pinned! I was just toying with the idea of doing something a bit more "decor-ish" on my front porch. I think you have me convinced! Thanks!

    **Also, where are your fabrics from? They're incredible!

      How wonderful! And, those fabrics were all from thrift stores...old napkins...pillowcases...and dish towels!

    Love the 70s-feeling fabric--at first I thought they were vintage plates. Fabric much more practical for an outdoor area!

    Love the mix of bright, happy color and the galvanized tub rocks. Thrifting is wonderful! :)

    I LOVE this!!! The next time I see a bag of old embriodery hoops at a garage sale, they're mine! You are so darn smart and creative. Thanks for the constant inspiration!

    Check out my blog- someday you just might see some of your ideas in my house!!!
