I've been painting frames. Found some nice ornate ones. The bench they're sitting on started like this.
I added an applique, and gave it generous coats of a soft blue. I then highlighted the applique, and details with white. I'm contemplating giving it a padded seat.
I have way more works in progress. Gotta get back in the zone. I'll be sharing.

You always have the greatest frames! Love all of their ornate beauty and the white really brings that out!
Happy Belated Anniversary Rosemary! Hope you had a great day of remembrance..time flies...
Hi, Rosemary. I can definitely relate to your "not having it in me" statement. I think we all go through that every so often. Looks like you're back in the groove already!
Great frames, Rosemary, but I am in love with that bench!
You always find great stuff! Love the frames!
What a beautiful bench!
Love that bench ! Everything is lovely as always !
Oh my gosh!! That bench is stunning! Wish I could have it. You've been busy busy busy. Glad to hear that things are starting to calm down now.
Hey Rosemary, does the blender pen work on wood applications or just fabric?
I love the look of empty frames. Your ones are gorgeous. Im always on the look out for them at the op shop but havent found any as stunning as yours. Im not giving up though - Im sure they're around the next shopping corner!
The ornate frames make such a beautiful statement. I love the idea of a cushion on the bench. The moments go by too fast to spend them all on projects. It's good to enjoy all the rest of life too! Found your post at Savvy Southern Style.

Your zone is amazing. Don't know how you stay so focused. You deserved a couple of days off.
Nice bench! I bet it looks really good in the soft blue. You've had a lot on your plate lately. Hopefully, you will be ready to jump back on the bandwagon! LOL
Good for you for giving yourself a break. Those frames are fabulous--you find the greatest stuff!
Your whites are always a pleasure to look at Rosemary. That bench is awesome and always the old frames. I have a couple I'm needing to paint as well:-)
