My attempt to capture spring because it has been a rough one

Tulips are my favorite flower

Quilt update

I am sure that nobody is even reading this or aware that I have posted, but just in case a straggler wanders in I wanted to let you know that I am still working on my girl's quilt.  It is turning out quite cute if I do say so myself.  Unfortunately I have hit a few glitches along the way, but I am hoping to get the quilt onto the long arm next week and maybe if things work out right I will be able to have it bound and ready to be on the bed next weekend.  It's a big dream, but that's not a problem.  I can dream big.  Pictures will come as soon as it is finished.

Getting my quilting on

As of right now my girl does not have a pretty room.  She deserves a pretty room.  She desperately wants a pretty room.  I have taken one step towards this pretty room by purchasing some super cute fabric to make her a quilt for her bed.  Now I just have to do something with this fabric.  I originally had a certain pattern in mind when I bought the fabric, but now I am not sure I feel like making that pattern anymore.  I think I want something more simple.  We'll see what I come up with and hopefully my girl will have a cute bed, sooner rather than later. 

"S"

Two years ago I bought this large "S" from JoAnn's.  Last night I finally finished it and I have to say that it turned out rather well.  I originally painted it with a brown base and then a white topcoat so that the cracks were brown, but the white just disappeared into the light blue wall.  So, I slapped some more coats of white paint on top of that, added some more crackle, and then the brown.  Much, much better.  I hope to have other little "S" friends to join this one in the future.

On a side note, I also bought another mirror to go in my bedroom (yet another room that has absolutely zero decorating).  I'll post a picture of the mirror as soon as my man hangs it.

I live in a showroom

I added a mirror.  It's not my favorite mirror, but the price was right and it works for now.  Unfortunately, now I feel like I live in a furniture store showroom, except not as poorly decorated.  I just need to figure out how to bring my personality to the rest of this wall and to the mirror.  I am thinking about hanging a coffee filter wreath in front of the mirror.  I also need to figure out what to do on either side of the mirror.

My current wall dilemma

Thoughts

Wow, those cards seem like a lifetime ago.  I don't think I have made a card once since I stopped doing my card nights and since I stopped selling Close To My Heart.

I am scrapbooking this weekend with some dear friends.  I don't really feel like scrapbooking, but I always have fun and hopefully just going will get me more in the mood because I am very far behind and it needs to be done.

I like the blue background of the blog today.  It is making me feel more cheerful.
