Finished projects

Remember this table from a month ago? I picked it up at the flea market for $20. I am ashamed to say that it has sat around here this long when it took such little time to paint it. I am blaming the rain. Every time I thought I had time to work on it outside, it has rained. Yesterday, after church, I put it out on the patio and painted it finally. I got the final coat on it, sanded it and spray the varnish on and walked down to my MIL's when as my husband calls it, a "frog strangler" started. I think that is Pennsylvania redneckese for a really hard rain. When I finally got back to the table, the varnish had worked and the water had beaded up. Still not sure exactly what I am going to place on the table, but this will do for now AND it is already filled with the next t-shirt yarn project, a new bath mat for our bathroom. And this one is finished. This is going in my basement entry and that is the door that everyone uses so it should get a lot of wear and tear and dirt. I am showing it to you laying on the carpet because if I would have shown it in the entryway I would have had to clean the floor first, way too early in the morning to be scrubbing floors.
If you are interested in the t-shirt yarn, the Polka Dot Pineapple has a great tutorial on it, she is listed on my blog roll. Well worth checking out!

The end table looks very prim! Great redo!
Love the table...I have a table exactly like this one...and I need the storage so badly and have yet to get it painted. Yours has inspired me to drag it out and get it done.

Hey Cathy! I shop at all the Goodwills in the area, but I also stop in at St. Vincent De Pauls in town and the TLC shop in town often. I found the goods in today's post at the TLC shop. I have also found some things in at the antique shop (can't remember the name of the shop) on Market Street (up near the Courthouse.)
