Table setting

I volunteered to decorate the table for our FCE Club for the FCE Fall Luncheon this year. I've never done this before but armed with the theme Western and a few Pinterest ideas I think I would have made my mom proud.

First Pinterest idea I used was the Mason jars with the napkins (bandanas) in them. Next was the hay on top of 2 more bandanas. And finally, I tea stained some white paper doilies. I wrapped the silverware in these and tied with raffia. Camp plates, aka pie plates, finish the place setting. Most of the stuff on the table is mine, which is why I jumped at the chance to do this in the first place.



And no, I didn't iron the table cloth. It looks a bit like raffia I thought and added to the rustic look. (And I may have destroyed my sewing room and can't really get to my ironing board for such a large piece...)



Only one other club had decorated their table. It is so cute! I'll have to get pictures tomorrow. They used cut off jeans for chair covers and put the napkins in the back pocket. So cute!

Stay tuned for what the other tables look like tomorrow!

Pinterest

I am just 60 pins away from having 5000 pins on Pinterest. I am sure this means something bad and that I need a life, but I do love me some Pinetrest! I currently have 77 Boards and I am about to have more. I mean, who knew all of the things one could find on there. I need to make more specific boards yet again. (I have done this once already). Then I have to go through 4,940 pins! Cakes and cupcakes are different! My "sewing" board is out of control! My "If I Ever Teach Again" board needs to be split up into about 10 separate boards. Actually, if anyone from Pinterest is listening, and I know you're not, it would be nice to have sub categories in the boards.

I did make something from Pinterest just tonight! So, it's not a total waste of time! My life group will test these out tomorrow!



I may have to try a little piece.

Sewing, yeah, haven't done much of that lately. I desperately need to though! I will soon...promise!
