I haven't been able to sew much lately, but I have gotten quite a few other things done. I decided yesterday that it was time to tackle my front bedroom, which has basically been a catch-all for the last 18 months. I purged a lot of stuff, organized a lot of stuff, and got to the point where I couldn't do too much more. So then, I decided it was time to put some shelves up, which I'd been wanting to do for quite a while. But I started thinking-I still need to paint the walls! I hate boring white walls. So I went out to Home Depot last night, figured out what I needed for the shelving units, and picked up some test samples for the walls. I decided on "Tropical Lagoon," a beautiful blue green color. I've got two coats on two of the walls; I can't go any further until I get rid of some more boxes, which I can't do until the shelves are put up! The goal is to get the shelves put up tonight and then unpack the two boxes. It will probably make for a long night, but it will be SO worth it when it's done! As soon as this is finished, my "hobby room" as I decided to call it will be completely ready!
I also picked up some clothes out at Goodwill that I intend to use for my 9 month old niece, Savannah. I purchased a green denim jumper, a western style coral eyelet shirt, a green tee with green and brown butterflies, a brown corduroy skirt, and a polyester robin's egg blue bed sheet. I can't wait to see what possibilities will come of these clothes! Oh...I also purchased a sweater for me :-) Stay tuned for pictures of those projects!!
"Tropical Lagoon"
This is the closest to the actual color that I could come up with!
This is the shelf wall...still drying so it looks darker than it is!
