New Color, New Work
We spent part of the weekend giving our kitchen a much needed paint job. I choose this pale sunny yellow color, and am delighted by how cheery the kitchen now looks. Seeing as it was on my to do list for the last 5 YEARS, (!) I am thrilled that it is finally done! Hoping to tackle the dining room next week!
And this is my latest mid-century inspired
table runner/wall hanging/art quilt, which I posted a few days ago here in my shop.
I am really enjoying designing and constructing these pieces, and am looking forward to doing more!
(But now I need to go blog hopping and catch up on everyone else's weekend!)

Thank goodness New Orleans wasn't hit as hard as last time, I agree Victoria.
ReplyDeleteI love the colour you chose for your kitchen, it's almost the same as what's in my kitchen. It does make a difference, doesn’t it!
