Oh hey…hi. I know it has been awhile. I have not been really sewing or doing much of anything, really. Just trying to make it through my teens last few years of high school. I have a high school junior and senior now, and how fast did that happen?? So…this is a little project I […]
After about 15 years, it is time to repaint a bathroom right? This was a long time in coming. I was actually thinking that I had painted the bathroom this year, but it was in October. How time does fly. This was what it looked like before: I painted the room in two colors. One […]
I had another set of pillows on my “to do” list, and that was for our sectional. It kind of needs pillows to lean against and all the pillows we have are small. I made them several years ago. I decided to design a pattern for them, and ended up making 4 different patterns. One […]
I have a list of things I have wanted to get sewn up over the time I am on hiatus from working (i.e. unemployed). One thing on the list was some big pillows for the 1.5 chair in the basement by the fire. It is a deep chair and really needs to have some pillows. […]
In getting our new wood-looking vinyl floors, I decided to repaint the dining room. It previously was a nice deep blue you see here in this older photo: It was originally painted by the previous owners of the house, so it was pretty much the only room I had not painted before. That color, along […]
I figured I would pull this post from my other blog and put it over here in case anyone was interested. This was my craftroom in the basement before we took the unfinished basement space and made it fabulous. It was totally open to bugs and the like…and really messy: Totally hard to believe […]
Marriage is all about compromise. When we were looking at furnishing our basement, Brian really wanted a poker table. That meant no other furniture down there since we just didn’t have the room. Me notsolikey. Brian found our nice counterheight bench table on clearance. That looked like a good multi-purpose table and fit enough people, […]
As you know, we did a lot of painting in the last 6 months. To that end, I bought the paint chip sampler from Sherwin Williams to make it easier to pick colors at home. I pulled all of the pink ones and Anya chose hot pink to be the color of her room. Ummm…no. That […]
At least that is what Anya probably feels like. Well, I guess I do, too, since I have so much fun making them. 😉 I actually made this dress a few weeks ago and forgot I hadn’t posted it yet. It didn’t get posted with the rest of the sewing frenzy because when Anya put […]
