Paintbrush Pillow and Afghan crochet pattern made into cowl with pastel yarn, by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Tickled Pink::

I've had a lot of "PINK" in my "THINK" lately! As those of you who have been here before might know, I am sort-of color crazed. And my favorite color changes almost daily--usually I can't tell you which is my most favorite. But for TODAY--it's pink.

Maybe it's because I finished my little bench yesterday! Remember this piece that I posted about here...

I'm done! And I'm quite pleased. This is the first time I have used a glaze--thanks Karie for helping me learn about how! I painted the bench white and then coated it with a soft pink glaze. It suits me so much better.

It might become my new photo prop station to replace my other mini white bench that I got at the thrift store, too. Remember this one...that's my Puffy Patch Quilt on it, by the way.

I'm off to the thrift store today--come on, just say it. I know you're thinking it. "AGAIN?" Yes. Again. It's one of the things my daughter and I love to do together. Looking for a desk for my son and any other little treasures I can rescue.

Like this vintage milk-glass bowl and stapler.

And I found this vintage needlepoint. It's so "grandma" and that's why I love it. It has a penciled message on the back about who made it and when it was made. I love that. It will go in my bedroom soon.

By the way, if you missed the picture on my Felted Button Facebook page I worked up a little cowl with some Lion Brand Amazing yarn and my Paintbrush pattern. I'm hoping I won't need it any more--at least until next fall. But I like it--very much!

The long color changes look super nifty, huh?

I'm off! Have a terrifically, splendiferous day!
