I hope you are all having a good start to the week. I'm having my sewing studio painted and it's a total MESS in there. We normally never pay anyone to do any painting but hubby has been working so much lately that it would take him forever to get it done and I don't do painting. I finally picked a color and will show before and after pictures as soon as it's done. They should be finished in a few days, and then I'll need to get everything put back in place. It looks so different in there. Going from red to a very light aqua has totally brightened up the room. I've been back and forth in there a dozen times making sure everything is covered up good. I would not be happy if paint got on all of my fabric. The painter told me I should sell some of it. hmm....What does he know? *hands on hips, tapping foot*
Okay so where is our winter weather? I mean, even though I live in Texas, we usually have some cold weather in January. This weekend it was 81! It broke the record. My poor A/C has been going non-stop for so long. It's also been humid, which makes it seem hotter to me. I hate humidity. Every day is a bad hair day for me. ;0)
I SAID I wasn't going to sign up for any more BOM's. Well, I lied. I signed up for another one. So that makes 3 that I'm signed up for now. I need to get busy and get caught up. Here is a picture of the latest one I've signed up for. It's called Sweet and Simple.
I think it's really cute. Must. Get. Busy.
Hmmm....I just took a peek into the sewing studio. The first coat is on the walls. I'm not sure if I'm liking this. It seems lighter than I thought. Maybe it will look better when the second coat is on. Either way, it's staying. I think it's just going to take some getting used to. Once they re-paint the trim, bead board and cabinets glossy white, I think it will look really good. I hope so. I have this vision in my mind, ya know?
Well I need to get busy and get something done. Laundry is in the dryer and the buzzer keeps going off. I think I'm being paged.
Have a GREAT week, friends! I'll be back soon with some finishes to share with you.
Love and hugs,

I'm with you. The weather in Texas this winter is nuts. (I live in Frisco...north of Dallas). Can't wait to see your "new" room.
Looking forward to seeing your "new" room. I think the weather has been crazy every where.
Congrats to the winner. I will try not to Bo jealous. I can't wait to see your room - I'm sure it will be lovely, just give yourself time to get used to it. That's a big change.
This weather is something! Nice, and the rain was great but man did it bring out the skeeters!
Are you going to be around Wednesday? Email me - maybe we can chat since it is supposed to rain and who wants to get out in the rain?
THANK YOU! I am the very lucky winner of the darling pattern! I promise to make it right away, although it might take a while to complete being it is a whole lot of applique (which I LOVE to do by hand!) and I will be hand-quilting it. THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!

Congratulations to the winner of your beautiful giveaway. It is fatal to say you wont sign up to any more BOMs.
Congrats to the winner - I'm sure she'll have tons of fun with this great give=a=way! I just love your projects - if you don't like the paint color, that should give you incentive to just cover the walls with lots of quilts and projects to conceal the cover! LOL :)
