First of all...I just got done painting 3 rooms a lovely shade of yellow. 3 down, only 6 more...to...go :(. That's ok. That'll be 4 yellow(Sherwin Williams Solaris) rooms, 3 blue(Sherwin Williams Bathe Blue) rooms, and two gray(Sherwin Williams Fawn Brindle) rooms. All these late hours and paint fumes will amount to a lovely home that we can make ours! Hopefully I don't loose too many brain cells in the process! Note to self: DO NOT press firmly on top of the paint can lid...IT'S PLASTIC AND WILL BEND!
Next up, I found this lovely, art deco-ish fabric at Joanne with my Easter dress money. I couldn't find a single dress that I liked(or at least one that was modest enough that I liked). So, I went fabric shopping and this is what I found. I think it might get done before next Easter...at the rate I'm going! I'm still excited about it!
I bought two king sized flat sheets, and I plan to make a new duvet cover for our newly yellow room. We painted our dressers a lovely chocolate brown and put new hardware on them. We've had them since we were kids, and brought them together when we were married...6 years later they finally match. I'm so excited to put everything together and get some decorating going.
I've posted it before, but I'm REALLY going to finish my Hawaiian quilt and hang it up or something.
Made these cute little canvases for the Grandmas for Mother's Day...I'm...um...excited to send them one day :). I'll hopefully get hem off this week. I'm so terrible...over a week late! But, still cute as ever! For the tutorial on how to make these cute little gifts go to The DIY Dish.
I bought a bunch of flowers to put in at our house. The previous owners didn't do...well...ANYTHING! They had somebody come in and landscape it, but then didn't really take care of it, let alone plant any type of flowers. I'm really excited to make it mine. I got strawberries, jewel box celiosa, dahlias, echinacea (coneflowers), alyssum, and dianthus. I think if I get any money for my birthday I'll probably spend some on flowers....unless I find a china cabinet that's calling my name!
