Burlap Table Runner

I think I have been having a wee bit of a love affair
 with jute webbing and burlap.

 Burlap & webbing just draw me in.
Their natural color. Their texture and charm.

I love the simple stripes on the webbing too.

Those Union Jack pillows I made the other day are new favorites
and while I was working on those, I thought about a simple table runner made from the same
material and started sewing.

 This runner could not be more simple to make.

I started with burlap and jute webbing that I found at Burlap Fabric

I cut a wide strip of burlap and hemmed it along each edge
and then sewed a strip of jute webbing down the center.

So simple.

I decided to use this as a runner in a different direction for this table~

 Instead of the usual placement of the length of the table~ this goes across the width.

I think 6  or 8 chairs with the  runners across as place mats for them would be so charming.

I found these darling boxwoods on sale at Lowes and brought a couple home
to place in galvanized pots and also picked a few more up for the yard.

I absolutely love boxwood and lavender in the garden. 

Can you believe that school starts here on Wednesday? 

WAY too early this year. My oldest son graduated high school a couple years ago but this year

I have a Senior and a Freshman at HS. Unbelievable.
Yes, that's my baby-baby who is a freshman. *sigh*

Cullan (Senior this year) has been fantastic at helping my daughter & her friend Leila  find their

classes ahead of time and learn the school layout a bit

The girls are going from a very close knit small school that had just

 1 class of 30 kids per grade all the way from K-8th to a high school that has over 3000 students.

That's a big change- but my boys enjoyed the larger environment

 and I'm hoping that my daughter does too.

I stared at that project we have been working on last night 

and got so excited about how it is coming together.

It's nearly wrapped up but the 100 degree weather doesn't help much ~

it really zaps the energy right out of you and makes you want to do nothing at all.

But...
nonetheless it is almost ready to share.

Whoo Whoo!

Then...

 I think I am going to the beach!

;) 

lol!
