My New Tablecloth

Posted in Life at Home
I was able to finish a sewing project last night.  This is one I've been wanting to do for quite a while.  I have decorated my kitchen in a grape theme, to remind myself that my fruitfulness only happens when I'm connected to the Vine, Jesus my Savior. 
This part of the kitchen has been done for quite a while.  I've really enjoyed it. 

There is a tiny little table in the kitchen that we use if just a couple people are eating, or the kids are working on a project or assignment while I'm taking care of something in the kitchen.  This little table is has a damaged top, but looks fine with a table covering on it.   I've had fabric for making one since I bought fabric for making the valences, but haven't made the table cloth until yesterday.  I've just put up with a blue one that I've had.  There was nothing wrong with the blue one, except that it was the only blue in the kitchen.  But now that has been taking care of the kitchen feels so much better, so much more together. 


I've got it covered with a piece of clear thick vinyl from the fabric store, so I can have something pretty in the kitchen even though I still have a seven year old boy.  I cover the table cloth in the dining room too.  On special occasions, if we have company, I'll take the vinyl off, and then the table feels real special. 

Behind the table you can see a wall rack with my aprons hanging from it, and a matching bag.  I stuff empty plastic grocery bags in there.  It is fun to have a little coordinated color around me.  Most of my things are old, mismatched, or made by children.  These things are fine, but a little coordination brings peace to my eyes and mind.  And wipe clean table does too.
