Projects

I am working on a project! One of the thousands that I have already started, you ask? Uh, no. I am making a Spring/Summer spread for my bed.

(I looked at all the projects I have started, said, Naah, I don't wanna do that this evening, so I started something new. I took the comforter off that I use during the cooler months. I had a white chenille spread on the bed, but I didn't like it after I got my furniture moved. Go figure.)

I had some (duh, I have a LOT!!) material that I had no idea what I was saving it for. Turns out, I was saving it to make a spread for the bed!! I have been cutting and pinning, and cutting and pinning. Tomorrow I may sew it all together. Or maybe the next day. When (not IF) it is done, it will be neat. Sort of bronze shimmery stuff. I like it because I can make pillow shams of all different colors!

I have a million pillows on my bed. I use two. Three at the most. The others are just to make it look even, I guess. Anyhow, I figure I can use all those scraps of material that are mainly blues, whites, grays and shades of red, and make some really neat colorful shams. Should make my room really colorful............ for the couple hours a day I get to spend here.

My youngest daughter and her fiance (for 6 years now!) bought property. They have busted their asses getting a basement built. They both worked two jobs the last few years to do this. They bought a double wide trailer to put on it. Custom built. And it arrived last week. She is waiting for me to do a painting for a house warming gift. I haven't started. I asked her what she wanted. She said, the carpet is burgandy. Boy, what a CLUE!

(That last was to explain why I am making a spread for ME instead of a painting for HER!)

Anyway, I AM working on my crafts!
