Grain sack ideas

    I'm trying to decide what to do with my grain sacks, so this morning I popped this chair outside in the sun and started playing around to see what it would look like with brand-spankin' new burlap cushion covers. As you can see, they're just draped over the top, but you get the idea. What do you think? Oh, and please forgive these awful photos - my camera battery died midway through taking the shots, so this is as good as it gets today!


     the lilac of the top grain sack is much brighter than it looks in this pic





    While I was outside, I couldn't resist taking a few extra photos. It's a beautiful winters' day here in Brisbane (if you can ignore the wind!) and the dappled light filtering through the trees was lovely. 



     the kids' old tyre swing has had quite a workout over the years


    and their cubby house has seen better days, but I can't bear to part with it!


    our driveway winds its way up this hill


    the last leaves of my Jacaranda tree - aren't the colours lovely?

    Have a great day everyone

Vintage grain sacks

    Before I head off to painting classes this morning, I thought I'd pop in to tell you about the vintage grain sacks I found on Friday. Now I realise these sacks have been all over blogland for ages, but these ones are quite unique - along with the usual blue and red stripes, I've tracked down some in greens and even lilacs.They're just gorgeous, and my only dilemma now is deciding what to do with them. I'll post some photos of mine as I get a chance, but for now here are a few ideas:

    By the way, now that the painters are finished, I'm also hoping to take some pics of Suzi's beach house makeover. Now we can concentrate on the fun part - shopping for furniture and accessories. Poor me, this is one tough job!

    Have a great day everyone,
