We've been continuing with our little home spruce ups here and I wanted to share one of the most important improvements....lights over my sewing machines! This has made such a huge difference in here and now I can sit down in the evening and get stuff done without squinting. We picked these up at IKEA for around 20.00 each. Joey climbed up in the crawlspace and installed them and I think he's awesome. He also replaced my ceiling fan with a nice fixture. The fan was silly because it just blew my pattern pieces everywhere and made me crazy. Things are better now.
We're in the middle of a major rehaul of the kids bathroom (a most repugnant space) and I think this one's going to be nearly life changing. I'll have a huge reveal soon but I'll share a picture of some of the fabrics I'm using for the shower curtain and my new wall color (it's Pear in the Behr Ultra, my favorite paint).
I finally gave in and ran down to Joann for some of the new Denyse Schmidt fabric after mulling it over for 2 tormenting days. As a fabric store owner it does not please me to see the major designers creating stuff for the big chain store but I completely understand and applaud it from the designers perspective (I think a lot of us would jump on the gravy train if it pulled up in front of our house right now). When I reminded myself that I sell fabric because I love fabric I then abandoned my principles and made a mad dash to get some before everyone else realized they had it in stock. No regrets here.
Great weekend here so far! We had our Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild meeting here today and it was a nice, relaxing time to chat and stitch and share a few chuckles. Such talented women! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend too!
