I have been busy with my new Holland Lop rabbits, Dot and Dash which were adopted from the Humane Society in January. Then this month we adopted Jackson a Alaskan Malmute X puppie. Needless to say, we have been busy with the new puppy and trying to get the gardening done between snow and rain storms.

I have had some success sourcing fabrics, embroidered linens and thrift items for upcycling from my local thrift store. I completed creating a very cute Tunic from an old sheet using a new Lisette pattern which I just love. I also found a fantastic old step stool, circa 1950 with old linoleum on the steps. I also inheritated a 1950's kitchenette with 3 chairs, so will be on the lookout for a fourth chair which eventually will be recovered. I attending the Honey B's Vintage Home Decor Sale last week and found some great upholstry fabric and barkcloth.
I got my etsy site up and running too, thanks Shaan! There will be vintage clothing as well as upcycled or recycled items for sale. Check it out at http://www.etsy.com/people/llally?ref=ls_profile
