Painting the Hallway

I live in the darkest house that I have ever lived in. I had several trees cut down and now there is more light but it was almost like my house was in a clearing in the forest (well, that's somewhat of an exaggeration). I painted the walls of this house the light purple that I have painted two other houses that I have lived in and I decided it was time for a change. One reason I want the house painted is that Monica and Eric are coming for a visit from Japan. I just want my house to look good. Here are pictures of the hallway in progress.

I especially love the trim color: puke yellow/beige

Brown Monochromatic: March 2011

This month's monochromatic quilt is Brown. Patchwork Times

This Moment...

A Friday ritual, a single photo, no words- capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. -Soulemama

Monochromatic: Purple Top Finished

This was the hardest quilt I have made so far. I kept running into trouble. First, I ran out of white and had to use two different whites in the quilt. Then the black ran short and I had to makeshift some borders. Overall, it is also one of my favorites.

Saturday Nights Sure Have Changed!

I remember talking with a friend recently about what we did on Friday and Saturday nights. We talked about how tired we are now after a long work week and that by Friday night, we can't move out of the house. And in our previous lives, we would go out around 10pm on Friday's and Saturday's. Boy, has life changed.

This past Saturday, I went out to dinner with a friend at 5:30pm and went to our local Walmart for coffee and a doughnut at Dunkin' Donuts (it's housed in Walmart). As we were sitting there, we talked about the People of Walmart website and we challenged each other to find something to go on that website (we didn't). My how things in my life have changed!

So I finished my coffee and went to buy storage containers for my sewing room. I am doing two Quilt challenges from The Patchwork Times and I wanted to be organized to see what fabrics I have available. I am also on a mission to reduce my stash as much as possible. So I am quilting away!

Here are a few pictures of what my sewing room looked like and how it is all sorted in clear containers that I bought at Walmart.

Nice and neat and ready for the next Monochromatic Challenge!
