Tackle It Tuesday

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

Remember this....



My tackle for a few weeks back that never did get finished. 
Guess what....



To be honest I needed to get this bench painted before I went crazy with only four chairs at this table.  When the husband is home for meals it is difficult for all of us to fit.  We like to eat here because of the highchair in this room and the mess stays put and not in the dining room.

I love how it turned out.  I removed all the old paint {and I mean old, remember this bench is probably 40+ yrs old}, then painted it black.  Then I sanded it so it looked old again...silly I know but it matches the chairs now.

I am excited to show you the project I worked on Sunday night.  I had the hat knitted for awhile just needed the finishing touches. 

FEATHERS!



I love how it turned out.  You can see this hat and get the pattern in Susan B. Anderson's book "Itty Bitty Hats".  Visit her blog here.

This is maybe the 8th project I have ever knitted...remember this...



Sad I know.

But after purchasing Susan's book I was on a roll and started with hats.  Dishcloths were just not my thing {ya think}.

I think I'm doing just fine with the hats.



This is what I'm working on right now.  It is for my new niece or nephew {that is if they ever decide to make an appearance in this world}



As you can see it's been a productive week.

What are you tackling today?
I would love to come visit.

Head on over to 5 minutes for Mom and get inspired.
