I'm excited to check out the house. You should send me a few pictures that you're using for inspiration for your color scheme! A new room to decorate will be fun stuff! I wish I could paint my walls... I hope you get to put some pictures up of your blanket soon; you're being too modest about your skills. You should tackle those ambitious projects you want to start!! Who cares how many unfinished ones you have... that's how this whole thing works I think! :) Plus, I need some pillows! ;)
A couple nights ago, John helped me with an earring display project! It was Mom's idea, and I'm excited because now I can have space to hang my necklaces, and I can open the door to get my studs out of the display. Woo! Before I had to take my display off the wall to do that. Before:
And after!!
Also, I found a cool wall-hanging project that I want to use above the couch. I just have to decide on colors!! I love the Deja-Brew collection, too! But John keeps making fun of me for too much green and blue in the house. I might have to branch out, but I don't know if I should branch out with cool pastels, or brighter tones.... Decisions decisions! And, before I sign out, I thought I'd share an unfinished project to inspire you. A placemat. Wow. I found this pattern in ... big surprise... an American Patchwork and Quilting magazine... and was inspired. So, I went to JoAnn's and accidentally bought enough fabric for.... 2 placemats instead of 4. And then... I had time to put together 1 out of the 2. And then... I've only appliqued 1/2 of the 1 placemat. Not looking good so far. I tried the blanket-stitch to add some embroidery embellishment to the applique, but I guess embroidery looks best when you use...ermm... embroidery thread. Haha! Here're some pics.
Well, that's all for now. Can't wait to see you this weekend! Happy knitting.Love,
Mooser
