Fly Screen Cover Complete

The beauty about this post is that you get to see two things in one post (lol). Hahaha, like you haven't seen that before in my posts. Anyway, you get to see my fly screen cover and my completed look of my stove top cover. Yep, now that my fly screen cover is completed, my stove top cover is completed as well. I decided to put 3 pantry cakes in one of my treenware bowls, I made a larger pantry cake to put under my fly screen cover that I made yesterday and added a candle and star candle holder that Shawn's sweet cousin Stacey gave to me. Yep, it is complete and I am definitely pleased. Making the fly screen cover was definitely challenging at first, but after working on the 3rd one, it was smooth sailing. I messed one up, but I am going to try my best to salvage it somehow and then just use it as a decoration on a wall or something. I also had to make my Mom one so her cover will be painted and then completed today. Luckily, we have one more nice day here in Ohio and then the weather gets cold again with a chance of snow on Tuesday and the temps drop to the 40's. Ok, so tell me......where is SPRING?? All of my flowers, perennials included have started to peek their heads up out of the ground and if the temps drop then my home is going to be covered by one big sheet to prevent my flowers from dying out. Oh how I love Ohio weather!! Anyway, take a look at my beautiful pics below and if you haven't checked out my post from yesterday then you definitely have to. Yep, I made out like a bandit at the GW store. I FINALLY found me a FIRKIN - Yep, I was thrilled to say the least!! So, enjoy the pictures for today and stay tuned for makeovers of my GW finds. Make it a great day everyone!!

Hurry up and visit your husbands cousin and hit that GW store...their shelves are packed full! With it being the beginning of the month, they were very busy yesterday.

Your fly screen is great. I love the super prim look of the board also. My family and I made a pass through an overpriced antique store in Toledo yesterday because I so want to make one of those. I don't want to have to buy a set of three new strainers to get one that I want. So I wait and keep looking. You will hear my cheer when I finally find one!! Have a good one!

Love the fly screen!...for the other fly screen you "ruined" I would just take a piece of old screen and patch it with some stitches!...How primitive would that look?!....OOOOHHHHH I MIGHT DO THAT TO MINE!

I love your fly screen Lisa, great job on it...looks perfect on your stove top cover!
Wanted to mention your thrift store finds too...love the "firkin". I have three of those Jello molds and they are what I used to make my pantry cakes using that recipe that Linda posted....I thought they turned out really nice.
Enjoy your nice weather...we have had rain for days and they are forecasting rain for ALL this coming week. Like you, I am wishing for some warm spring weather!
blessings, kathy

Lisa...I love it all! I also have those little jello molds that I found at a thrift shop a few years back. They work perfect.

Looks good, I'm on the lookout for a fly screen cover now. Seen some at Wal-Mart 3 for $10.00, but I'm frugal and I am trying to find then cheaper..lol

Hi Lisa,
Love your fly screen and stove cover!! Everything looks great!

Hope you don't get the bad weather that is west of us right now. Looks like Spfld might get it. Tornado watches until 1am with warnings to the west of us right now. I really dislike this part of Spring in Ohio.
Take care, Cindy

Your fly screens are awesome and the dough board OMG...did you make that too..I've gotten 1 of my fly screens done I thought removing
that band was very difficult...did you find it easier as you went on
to the others?

Susannah said...
