Porches and Patios

Wednesday I messed around the house some. I found this material at Hobby Lobby Tuesday and wanted to make some pillows for outside.

Well, come to find out the spool pin on my sewing machine broken during the move. I will have to order a replacement. However, I wanted my pillows now! Like I said, I feel like I have been nesting this week. I ran to the store and bought some Stitch Witch. It worked perfectly. I chose to make covers so that I could change them out if I want to without buying new pillows. It also allows you to wash them if needed. I used a pattern I found on Pinterest.

Please ignore the clip lamp. I have fans coming Monday, so we will have real light out back. A friend of mine is getting rid of two rod iron chaise lounges and a small table. I told her I wanted them. I'm going to put red cushions on the lounge chairs and make two rectangular pillows for them. I will finally have a real table instead of an old column. I will probably repaint the column and put a plant on it. 

I bought this C too, however it was an ugly shaped C so dad fixed it. 

I picked up this doormat at Lobby Lobby for $15 with my 40% off coupon. I really think I need a longer one, but it's impossible to find cute ones that are longer.

I stocked up on command hooks and strips today while at the store. I was able to hang my welcome owl on the front door. I want to get tall pots for either side of the door, but this will have to work for now. I put the silk flowers from our wedding in them. I really could use a new doormat for the front porch too. This one has been around back and is losing it's color where people wipe their feet. 

I took this picture today driving up the hill. The only way I'm ever going to get a good picture of the front of the house is to climb a tree. 

So that's our Spring Break so far. Not much relaxing, but there never really is. I'm helping my aunt with my cousin's wedding Friday and Saturday.
