Easy Street step 1

Today I completed sewing all the 4 patch blocks, but didn't have a chance to get them all ironed - that will come tomorrow. For now I can show off the ones I did iron, it felt so good to be back working on a "Bonnie Project" again! This one is suppose to be easier than the Orca Bay mystery quilt, I hope to keep up this time!
Be sure to check out:

Working on a bedroom for me - The dark green wallpaper just wasn't me! I love brighter - lighter rooms (much easier to see when quilting). Off came the wallpaper - should have counted the hours this took, over the course of the project 4 of us worked on it! 2 walls were painted yellow, 2 were peach. Now it's a very pale pink - almost white depending on the lighting. What a change a couple gallons of paint can make.
I've been searching for the perfect area rug as a take off point to know where to go for furnishing the room.

A Little "Housework"

It's been so long since I've updated my blog - been working on a fix-up home that's been great fun, but lots of work. Started in the basement laundry room. The first pic shows the room at the time when I was just looking at the house - not sure if it would be mine yet. Since I did purchase the home, we tore out the old wood shelves along the side walls, and painted up a storm - looks brand new!

The yard looked so great in this shot, although some things are overgrown, I can't wait till spring!
