March is like that, where the weather can change on a dime, so it pays to get as much as you can out of the warm, sunny days. Today was a perfect day to complete a project I've had on my mind for ages. I have several pieces of framed needlework, two were made by my grandmothers and the other by a woman who I very much admired. I've had them hanging in my sewing room, and they were all framed in ways that just didn't do them justice. So, I took some more substantial frames that I had around the house, and painted them all a cheerful red. I love the way they turned out. (These pictures aren't great, they don't show the soft yellow wall, but trust me, it's really pretty;)
I painted some other frames for our family photo wall, those were done in black, and I'm still working on putting it together.
I used cans of spray paint that we already had, so the entire project was free. Makes it even more fun!

A free project is awesome!! Looks great! We were expecting a huge snow storm and all we got was rain. This morning the sun is bright ... a great reminder that spring is near. This is the first winter that I have ever felt so stuck. I feel like the skies have been grey since September. I am ready to move to California or Florida! : )
hope that toy have a great weekend.
These are beautiful, Karen, and what treasures to have things made by your grandmothers! Love the red too!
Free is good. I love framed needlework. It always makes me think of the person who did it and how they spent they're time stitching away.
I love that green cottage door! So sweet.
