Kitchen Sewing

Christmas is over! So today I did a bit of sewing for myself.
 

not sure why it's so blurry?

 I was in major need of some hot pads so I made a few.

The binding on it isn't really binding, it's fake!

I just sewed it on first then sandwhiched the batting and backing

After sewing the right sides together then turn it inside out.

See..the binding is fake.

Then I made some crochet washcloths

The colorful one on top is kinda wonky, it doesn't seem so noticeable here but its not a complete square...Its all good though.

I really just love the bright colors

 

I almost don't want to use them because they look so pretty but they are the best washcloths. 

The yarn used is Sugar & Cream cotton.

 Thanks for looking and happy sewing!

2nd day Cabinets

So the 2nd day I started priming. Always start with the back then you can put push pins or nails in it and flip it over to paint the other side.

See how it doesn't touch the bottom?

And here is is with its first coat of white paint.

Then I came inside and thought what did I get myself into?  Will this ever get done? It is such a huge project!  Then I started covering everything and taped and boy was that time consuming! Oh and you would die if you saw the top of my cabinets. I had to take everything off the top and there were inches of dust and grime!

 

 

Once I cleaned and sanded the cabinets i was able to prime. The primer (zissner)  I have dries in 1 hours so about 5 hrs later I painted. Then I had to clean everything up and get ready for  work the next day.

So stay tuned this weekend for more!
