Porch News!

I used the new to me bread machine. Oatmeal bread came out good.

I bought a table like this at a yard sale years ago. This year it became to rickety to keep. I used it by the grill.
So husband made me another one out of an old maple table that had seen better days.


The best part it folds up after use.

I started putting a few things back on the porch.

The floor was given a finishing coat today. Most of the screens are up. Progress is being made finally. Now for the doors and furniture. 

This is the cushion cover I made years ago. Time for new ones.
I pulled fabric out of my closet.
This is what I had the most of so that is what I am using.

Good heavens, the floor of the porch looks like a fine hallway house floor. Good looking bread your new machine made.

Wow, what a fancy porch floor. Very high class. I hope that you know how lucky you are to have a handy husband to do all sorts of carpentry for you. I love the new table and the bread looks so good.

Have fun with your friend. Hugs

Oh My. That folding table is quite something!!! Is that amazing wood floor your porch??? It's so beautiful. That loaf of bread looks wonderful. I must look up how to make Oatmeal bread. I imagine it makes great toast.

We have a version of that small table. I think it came fro IKEA. The porch will look beautiful when you're all done.
