treasures old and new

This past week I discovered the dining table was a great place to cut out fabric. I also discovered that Mark really doesn't want my work taking over the dining room!

So, today I had a stroke of almost-genius and swiped our old dining table from off the back porch.

Voila, instant work space. It's not quite ideal, but I saved a little square footage by stuffing my fabric underneath. And, best of all, it was free!

As for that "new" treasure? Well, today I am happy to say...I found the holy grail of paint-by-numbers....

The Last Supper! How awesome is that? For all of $5.

[I would never use this blog as a platform to try to influence your beliefs (or any platform for that matter! my beliefs are more "apathetic" than anything), and I would hope for the same respect from my readers, but I just want to note that in our household, this painting is valued more for its kitsch and its humor than any intrinsic meaning...]

I think it's going above the archway between the living & dining rooms, if I can ever get Mark to help me hang anything.
