Blog hopping catch up day and a vintage find...

I am finally caught up reading and commenting
on the "See you in September Blog Hop".

I feel like I cheated when I visited Mme Samm's pinterest page...
before I read all the blogs.
Wow...there is some awesome RBD gingham goodies
included in all the summer sewing projects!!
For sure I knew I had to go and read all the postings!!
I'm happy to say...I did it
and after leaving everyone comments, I am blurry eyed but
so inspired!!

On one of our visits to Canada this past summer we took the
scenic route home and stopped at a few antique shops.
This is one find that I couldn't pass up...
a child's ironing board.

It is very sturdy and folds flat.

 Here it is again
...the cover is a wee bit grungy...
maybe a lot grungy, definitely needs refreshing!!
I am going to make it 'happy' with some RBD gingham.

I want to be able to use the ironing board 

beside my sewing machine.  It is the perfect height.

I vision a cheery, bright gingham one...

probably with a bit of embroidery...something like this.

What do you think?  

I have some medium red and some large yellow gingham, 

but I'm thinking I NEED some small aqua gingham...

before it is retired.

Thanks for stopping for a visit!!
