Happy Wednesday!
I am so glad you stopped by today!
I am joining Kathleen at Faded Charm for another
White Wednesday!
I had been working on this post...
taking pictures, editing and such...
And then something happened...
First...
I checked my mail...
and saw the package I received from my sweet friend
I am so...excited!!!
I recently won my very first ANYTHING...
EVER!
And it was these adorable dishtowels that Sheila made
along with a Starbucks cup and gift card!
Too Cool!
(Thank you again Sheila)
So...it altered my post just a bit...
And then...
I must have been away longer than I thought...
because it seems that everything HAS CHANGED!
I can't seem to get my pictures to upload like I used to! I didn't even know I had a picasa album!
It is taking forever!
It doesn't even look the same in my little posting window...
So...
Plan B
(I hope.)
As you know, we have been working diligently on our new utility room.
And when I have a few extra minutes...
I try to sew a few things to use in my new room.
I recently bought this little antique shopping cart.
I thought I would use it to hold laundry!
So...I made a liner from some cream and grey ticking fabric...
Added a pocket on the inside to hold clothespins, cell phone...
(you know the essentials!)
And now I wheel my little cart out to the clothesline and back...
No more large laundry basket!
I plan on using it in the bathroom...so that our dirties will go right in...
then down the hall..
and the dirties and the liner can all go in the wash...
together!
I love it when I find things to make life a little easier!
I have other pictures..I can't get them to load!
Please bare with me as I relearn how to use blogger!
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Hugs and Blessings to all!
What a clever (pretty, too) way to multi-task...and congrats on winning...YAY!

Hello Donna,
ReplyDeleteFor eveything that did not seem to go as well while working on this post it was meant to take place because the out come is beautiful, tea towels, ticking for the wire cart and the pictures are perfect.
I loved this post and the wonderful gift was well worth the altering of the blog.
Thank you for stopping by to visit my blog and the sweet comment about my daughters little nest!!
visit anytime.

someone you can visit to give her a little of your perfectness, and just your right words to make someone feel great. I ran across her site and made my first visit there, she found out she is
battling Cancer.... I left her some fighting words to battle what she is up against...thank you Donna...

Congratulations to you! I love the shopping carts too...found one years ago and I have used if for just about every thing and Love your linen liner.

I love that you turned the shopping cart into a laundry cart, you brilliant girl you!!! The liner is awesome. You just gave me an idea too.
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem on my last post and if I knew who to complain to, I would. LOL I'm just not clever enough to go to all the work to find out just who that would be. Lucky them, hehe
Hugs, hugs, and more hugs Donna!
