BENCH REDO

A sweet little friend and her funny little dog, 
gave me this bench, she didn't want anymore.
It had cane on the seats, and overtime wore away.
It even folds up. 
Neat!
I have had it in my yard, as is for a couple of years.
My husband said, "Debbie it's time"


 Not gonna happen Ray!
A little glue and a few nails and I got it back together.
The ants that had taken up residency in all the crevasses ,
were NOT happy.  




 Left over paint. 
This project only cost me 5.00 for material.



I purchased 1/2 yard of outdoor fabric and made strips,
 then stapled them on.


THANK YOU 
THANK YOU 
THANK YOU PAM. 
I LOVE IT!!!
THERE IS GOING TO BE A SURPRISE FOR YOU AT YOUR BACK DOOR!

EAR BUD/CHANGE HOLDERS

 My first attempt at a zipper. The zipper wasn't the one they suggested to use, but I had it on hand and was excited to get after it. It worked!  
Never knew you could sew right over them.
It's a little over 3" cute as it could be!


Here is the correct size zipper, and these were for my other daughter and her husband.  I got better as I did more.  
Only took about an hour. 
I put a little ring on the pull tab and they can attached it to their keys.

I've made several they are fun quick gifts!
Here's the how to link:

PALLET TABLE

My long legged granddaughter could no longer fit into her Little Tikes picnic table. 
They love to play with their farm outside in the summer, so Mimi saw this on Pinterest, and went to work.   




I  ripped apart the third pallet, and used the slats to fit in between the gaps on the top. 
Had to cut down to 3/4 to 1 1/8" wide.  
Love my table saw!
Didn't want any cows to fall in the cracks.


I had left over stain from my front door, and my Sissy came over and started applying it for me, 
while I put on the casters. 



See how the ripped down slats fit, juuust right!




And Papa and Hunter didn't waste any time putting it to use.
Even though Papa laughed at me when he saw me come home with the pallets.
  




Drilled a hole for the umbrella, and can you believe the plastic bin that houses the farm, 
fits perfect in between the pallets. 
 You'd think I planned it that way.
Everything always works out!

Can't wait for Raegan to see it!
And her long legs will fit now!
