Feeling Blue?

No, I'm not depressed, just feeling blue, the color blue~ which also happens to be my favorite color.  Next are the purples and pinks... The only trouble I'm having is cutting the wedges the exact size.  I made a template, and I'm trying to rotary cut with my ruler over the template.  I'm trying to be as accurate as possible, but I know they might not be exactly perfect.  I guess I'll see how much each little bit counts when I put it all together!  

This is one half of the dining room we just repainted.  I also swapped out the sideboard that was there.  I like it much better than the old one, the white looks brighter, and that my collection of pink depression glass can be seen.  Still need to make new curtains, I already have a pattern for a victory swag, so now to find just the right fabric.   

Today is the last day of school for the kids, we can't wait to really start enjoying summer!

Loving color

Hey there,

I'm back, and I even have pictures this time!  What I've been affectionately calling the "ripple monster" is coming along nicely.  Except, I think I might have overdone it with the crochet hook, because since yesterday I've been getting shooting pains in my elbow.  Time to take a break for sure.

My little dancer had her recital this weekend, and she did so awesome!  I love the costumes this year, very flashy and fun!  What a fantastic production it was, and she is sad that her dance class is over, but it will be nice to take a break for a few months.

I've been seeing the color wheel quilts all over blogland... and I've been mulling it over.  I bought the book with the pattern, it's in Last Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts, by Joelle Hoverson.  It's a great book, highly recommended.  This is the plan... for now...

Until I move them again...  A few dozen more times...  It's so much fun moving them around, and trying different ones!  (And the lovely carpet you see is the new one in the basement, which I love).  Off to cut the first wedges...... and hopefully keep them in the order you see here.

I'm still here...

A quick hello from the worst blogger ever!  What started as a basement remodel has grown into now the first floor of the house, too.  We decided to paint our trim white, since it was stained a pretty drab color (which is just as time consuming as I was warned!), removing a wall in the living room, recessed lights, new window treatments... so other than crocheting a ripple blanket, the crafting has been nil.  I hope I'll be posting soon, with actual pictures!
