Your Choice 2017

Oh boy - my artwork "Yellow Bird You Sit All Alone Like Me" is featured in the 239 section of today's Naples Daily News.  Reception and viewer's choice voting is tonight 5:30-7:30.  Come join in the fun (and please vote for me).

La, La, La, La!!!

The fat lady sings - yippee - the painter has finished our bedroom and is working on the rest of the house.  I put the bedroom "back".  It feels great not having our clothes piled up on a table in the garage. Tomorrow I'll hang artwork.  By Saturday the painter will be finished and things will be back to normal - so happy!

The Fat Lady is Getting Ready to Sing...

Bench cushion and accent pillow complete.   I'm excited to put the whole bed together, but think it may be prudent to wait until the painter finishes first...

Almost...

just about finished making the piping...thank goodness!

Piping Hot!

Sewing together bias strips for what seems like miles of piping for the pillow and bench cover...  (The fabric looks grayish in the photo, but in reality it's a light blue...photo taken with my i-watch)

All Stacked Up...

We're having our master bedroom painted in a couple of weeks.  It seemed a good time to freshen up the decor.  I found a set delightful "seersucker" window panels at TJMaxx.  I cut it up and made a bedskirt and two pillows shams.  I also found another coordinating white fabric in the closeout section at JoAnn fabrics - a couple of more pillow shams...I've only spent $50 thus far - happy about that.  I still need to cover the bench seat and one more pillow...I found some beautiful blue and white on sale at JoAnns too - that's what I'll work on next...
