Here’s the little cabinet I mentioned previously. Bri did not like that I put ‘my stuff’ on top of it. He wanted his stuff there. He can get out his handy dandy tools and 2 x 4s and make a shelf unit for the top. I like the rough texture and the white washing on it. We have a lot of that honey maple color in the house. I bought it for CDs and it hardly fits any-only a pile of about 10 on their sides with space around. Time to downsize the CDs anyway. They will mysteriously be downsized someday soon. : ) Oh, and please excuse the stuff stuck around it-I need to tidy this area more.
What’s on top- I made the cross stitched box cover. I had started it many years ago and finished it last year and added it to the box this year. I just bought the sunflowers yesterday which are in a red glass martini pitcher (I think). On the other wall (out of view) is Van Gogh’s sunflowers painting. I want to do that in cross stitch someday. That may be my next big project!
And for my stitching pals….my little ‘Sleeping Kitty’ is coming along! My friend Nancy just sent me the Q-snap cover! I’ll have to figure out how to make them as they are awesome!

My Show n Tell this week is Halloween. Come by if you can find some time. I’d love to have you visit with me and critique my project.
What a great piece, Dianne! I love its distressed look and all of the neat things you’ve topped it with. :o)
It’s a nice chest — too bad all the CDs won’t fit! Love how your cross stitch is coming along nicely.
Love it 🙂
My Show and Tell
Everything is nice. I especially like the kitty cross stitch.
The church directory pictures below are very good. Our family had a lot of church directory pictures made through the years. It’s fun to look back at how our family has changed through the years.
Have a great weekend.
All are very pretty.
I enjoyed seeing your Show and Tell!
