Week 12 - No sewing, lots of painting!

I worked at getting my painting done.  Is it ever done?  I have the majority finished, but I still have touch-ups and close work to do.  Still I have pictures to share.

This is my red wall - before.  Notice the cream wall next to it.  The second picture is how the red wall looks in the sunlight.


We pulled everything away from and off the walls.  It was piled in the center of the room, and we had to walk around it.


Here, I am covering the red wall with primer (it took 2 coats).


This is my lovely assistant on the first day.  She did most of the cutting in.

 She really got into her work - wearing paint on her face, and elsewhere!



Here is just part of the wall covered in the new yellow.


Here the kitchen has a lovely light shade of brown/tan.


The living room yellow looks great and really sets off my china pottery hutch.


The big wall is yellow, and the half-wall is brown like the kitchen.  It shows up very light here.


And now, the red wall is....blue!


It has been difficult to know how to decorate with the previous paint colors.  Now, I am bursting with ideas and need to just put them to work!  I'll post updates later.  Now, I just have to finish all the little stuff and start moving things back to where they belong.

No new hot pads or finished projects, but I hope to sew either tomorrow or Friday.  I need to decide whether to paint first, or get some sewing done for a day.  We shall see!

Happy Sewing!

Week 11 ...My how time flies!

Well, I am 11 weeks into the year, and I am keeping up with my blogging.  Will miracles never cease?!  :)

This week I have been painting, and I have more painting to do, so no pictures to show, yet.  I have taken some before and during pictures.  The after pictures will be taken soon, I hope.  Still have trim to do, and the kitchen.

I did finish the customer quilt I was working on, and I got the binding on the baby boy quilt.  Here it is all finished.



I am happy it is done...One less thing on my list.  I have put myself on a spending freeze, except yarn.  I am working only on projects I already have stuff for.  So, what's on the list for this week?

More painting.  Challenge quilt top for guild (due in April). Itty Bitty Pinwheel (cut up - I need to sew back together), or projects for the shop hop.

Just know, I am keeping myself busy when I am not working at the shop.  I have lots to get done and want to get my house back in order.  How about you?

Hot Pad Count:  13

Keep Sewing!
