DONNA'S - In The Attic

HOOSIER CABINET ~

I just had to show you my latest "Diamond in the Rough" ~

Garry and I were heading to Amarillo a couple of weekends ago.  As we were passing through Panhandle TX, we spotted a Garage Sale!

There sat this Beautiful Hoosier Cabinet.  The owner was trying to decide a price to put on it. 

 I was standing a little distance away just waiting to see what she would decide on.

Suddenly, she placed the price tag on it.  

Hoping for a bargain, I went to check it out.

$15.00 ! ! !

I TOLD HER I WOULD TAKE IT.

She commented to her friends that she sold her Pile of Sticks.

I must admit it needs a little reinforcement,

BUT, . . .

I know Garry can Fix It Up for Me!

I am anxious to get started on it.

It will go in my New Sewing Shoppe as a Display Piece.

I have another Hoosier in my house and I just love it!

It was left in an old house that we purchased several years ago.

It was painted yellow, so I added a coat of burgundy and just sanded it a little.

It is one of my Favorite Pieces!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

FACEBOOK, . . . DONNA's ~ In The Attic, . . .

 

 
  
Okay, . . . I know what you are thinking!

WHAT ? ! ? ! ?

"I thought she had already done this!"

WELL, . . . I DID!

I have had the Biggest Mess for about the past 3 weeks!

I signed up in Facebook as Donna Francs instead of

"DONNA's ~ In The Attic",

which set me up with a Personal Account instead of as a Business.

WOW ! ! !

So I had to cancel my Personal Account, wait 2 weeks for that to take affect and then re~sign up as a Business.

BELIEVE ME, THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE I  GOT MY BUSINESS PAGE!

I will not even BORE YOU with all of that!

ANYWAY, . . . I would love for you to be my FRIEND on FACEBOOK!

Many of you had requested to be my FRIEND with my earlier account, but that has gone away.  Please make another request, and I will be more than happy to have you as a FRIEND!

This is a whole new ballgame for me, so if any of you are experts on FACEBOOK, I would Love for you to jump right in here and give me any advice that you have!

I have a direct link for my Facebook Page in the Right Sidebar of my Blog.

YOUR FRIEND,

DONNA's - In The Attic ~ the sewing shoppe ~

now for the Bath, . . . it is definitely still "Under Repair"!

Before ~

We decided to replace everything!

There is a window behind the shower surround ~ you can see it on the outside of the house.

Garry ripped everything out,

Ahh-Hah ~

There it is~

 
and,

here is the new window and sheet rock ~

 

 It still has a ways to go,

but,

at least Garry is putting things back in it instead of taking them out!

I can't wait to show you what we are going to do with it!

It is still a few days away!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

DONNA's - In The Attic ~ New Shoppe Renovation, . . .

Well, I kind of hate to show you the mess we are in right now,

BUT, . . .

we are hopefully at the point of putting some of it back together!

We will start in the front two rooms of the house.

I forgot to take a picture of the Green Walls before we started, but if you look closely, you can see what I am talking about in this picture ~

Three of the old ceiling fans are down and the new ones are up ~

Here are some of the Display Pieces waiting to be put to use ~

We are going to take out the old shag carpet and replace it with Berber flooring.

I am thinking about this piece ~

I will show you what is going on in the two bedrooms and the bath tomorrow!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

LONG ARM QUILTING a String Quilt ~

pieced by Blossom Newell of Canadian TX ~

 

I don't think Blossom lets even one little piece of fabric go to waste!

I can not even remember the number of String Quilts that I have Quilted for her, . . .

and each one is so Unique and Beautiful!

 

I used the Pattern "Split Paint" to Quilt it.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

MAMA'S BOY by Thimble Blossoms ~

I have several New Patterns that I have been Wanting to Try.

 

I have been wanting to Piece a Quilt using some of the Blue Prints from the

 Glace' Collection by 3 Sisters.

Here are the ones I have decided on ~

 

I have all of the pieces Cut Out, . . .

and have Started Piecing it ~

UUUuuuMMMMmmmm, . . . I don't know ! ? ! ? !

It's always FUN to see what you can Create!

Sometimes they turn out Good and Sometimes they Don't!

We'll just have to wait and see.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
