hang it up!

I've had some empty spaces on my walls since we remodeled.

In some cases, I wasn't sure what I wanted. 

In others, I couldn't seem to get a project finished!

But, this past weekend, I made some progress!!

I made this small quilt in a quilting class last fall.

I wanted to hang it, but most hangers were for larger quilts.

Back in May, I bought some old fashioned clothespins

painted blacks with the idea that I would use them somehow.

Last week, I found this sign and had the thought to combine the two.

It worked... with a little help from Hubby...

 who had the super-duper glue for the pins and figured out how to make

sure the quilt didn't slip out. I like it!

 

 I found this at Hobby Lobby, but it was aqua.

Pretty, but not a color I could use.

So, I pulled out my paints and made it match 

my decor. I think it still needs a little something...

it will come to me in time!

I found these frames at Hobby Lobby, too.

They were perfect in color and design but

I wasn't sure what kind of picture I should put in them.

Then I remembered some old postcards that our son 

and daughter-in-law bought for our 40th Anniversary party.

 

This is the old post office and courthouse in my hometown.

And, this is Hubby's old high school.

I'm happy with them, too!

 

A long  time ago, I bought an old window similar to this one

with the intention of re-purposing it.

It took a while, but I finally got it done...

and I like it, too!

It looks good hanging in our study and it reminds us

 of some special times!

So, my walls are so bare anymore. I am still working on

a couple of other things, but I'll be concentrating on getting

ready for our family beach trip this week.

So, they will have to wait!

Thanks for dropping by...your visits are a blessing to me! :-)
