Sewing Room Update

This is the nasty, dark before shot.

Taping.

AFTER. I love the stripes, the color turned out great, never any surprises with CIL paint. I only did stripes on two walls, in the best interest of actually getting this project done and off my list. I still have lots of small projects for this room, but at least now i have the bones for a good room.

Now i have somewhere to sew that feels refreshing. I definitely need to get to some quilting. I have so much fabric to get through and this weekend i met the sweetest lady named Shirley. Shirley is a quilter, a phenomenal quilter. She was telling me that she wished she had someone like me in her life so she could pass on her skills as she has no children of her own. It just made me think of how great it is that I will be able to teach my children an actual skill. You know, the kind of skill that people don't learn from sitting in front of the T.V. The kind of skill that you can use forever and pass along.

I love quilting, I need to do more of it. Stay tuned for plenty of quilt updates

Side Note

Although i hate the heat, I love how green everything is this summer. I love the thunderstorms and how much they make outside feel fresh.

My friends mom has the most beautiful yard. I hope i can have something even close to this when i grow up. Look at these cute little boots.
