diversity
did i ever show you that i can now make more than pillow shams? i am telling you, the list of home-sewn goods is growing like crazy around here! haha. i will say there is nothing like the satisfaction of creating something from fabric. i just wish i could do it a little faster!so, a big nope on "mission church pew." i did find a beautiful one at a local consignment store, but it was a wee too long, and a bit too wobbly. told ya.
thanks, nmb, for the info. i already received a few photos. but nothing like the deal hqm got - lucky duck! but, i will keep that contact on my list - great stuff!
someone asked about my painted cabinets. i had a lady paint them for us. i watched her work, so i can tell you this - she hand painted them with oil based paint. she removed the doors and laid them tilted up in my garage. they were dark wood originally and i know she did not sand them first, but i believe she did prime them. oh, why can't i remember exactly? i may have to ask her.
we are out of the house for a few days while our floors are being redone which was necessary due to the removal of some lower kitchen cabinetry (that had unfinished flooring underneath). there are definitely some perks to this crazy lifestyle:
the inability to cook and do laundry. it is a bit like a hometown vacation. no complaints here :)

Hee hee... enjoy your little mini vacation! I love that Amy Butler fabric bag. Will we see more of your wonderful sewing projects?? You are always an inspiration!
Perhaps you should find even more things for them to do so you can enjoy breakfast in bed for a few more days! ;)
fun, fun, fun! i love room service and nice hotels. i could make a whole vacation of just staying in hotels and doing nothing else. enjoy! i'm going to call you in a pizza for dinner tomorrow night. blessings!
Just discovered your blog and it's wonderful. I have no talent for decorating but love to admire other peoples. I love that your looking for a church pew. 26 years ago when we moved to this location a friend had two church pews (her husband remodeled churches) and she gave me one. It's a prized part of my large kitchen. Judy
love the fabric on your sewing project. looks like you are taking things nice and easy in your hotel room. at least it looks like a hotel room with room service...
good luck with all the renovations. i am dying to see the finished product. jen said it was going to be amazing!
That bag is adorable, enjoy your time away from the mess.
Love your little pouch...once youi start sewing it is hard to stop!
Enjoy you little "vacation!"
Oh, Poor baby, this remodeling lifestyle of yours looks like fun!!! Oil based paint is the only way to go for kitchen cabinets, Its not fun to use, but it definately makes a difference on the outcome.

I swear orange is my new favorite color - I've bought so much stuff in it lately.
And your toes look good too.
