This was a quick one to whip up, compared to all the others. I really like it! Another Amy Butler pattern. Green damask fabric from Walmart …$5 a meter. Blue striped fabric I’ve had for ages… from Ikea. It’s almost too pretty to splatter grease on!
Growing up we had a kitchen banquette in one of our homes. It wasn’t nearly as cute as these, but it was still pretty cool. Although at times it was terribly inconvenient…letting the person stuck at the back out when they had to go….I think I just liked the cozy feeling.
I think it’s a floor plan space saver, in a lot of cases. And usually gives you lots of storage under the benches.
Which one is your favourite?

Have you had them before? Yummy! We have an abundance in our garden at the moment and I just couldn’t wait for them to turn red!
Slice firm green tomatoes into slices, dip in a beaten egg, then into a mixture of bread crumbs, parm cheese, salt and pepper. Heat some olive oil in a non-stick pan. Fry the tomatoes until golden brown. Enjoy!
It’s hard to believe this is what the garden looked like in June! We struggled at the beginning with cool nights and frost. Our carrots never did come up, after three plantings. Yet the tomato plants are as high as I am and loaded with fruit. The peas were doing great as well….until they were run over by a backhoe…I won’t mention names.
Anyway….great things are coming out of the garden…and worth every bit of earlier effort!
I’ve really been enjoying putting my sewing machine to use recently…handbags specifically.
I picked up this great book by Amy Butler called In Stitches. She has some fabulous ideas for all around the home. She gives great, thorough instructions with pictures for each project…patterns included. Everything I’ve tried with her patterns has turned out very well.
So this is her patchwork handbag. All the pieces are cut out, sandwiched and quilted before you put the bag together. Was a bit time consuming, but the outcome was great...what do you think?
