In that time, the entire inside of the house has been painted. 1 room will have to be redone as the color is toooooooo creamy, needs to be more white. This same room has some of the paint "orange peeling". I have to wait at least until after Memorial Day before I can paint it again. Kinda makes me in a bad mood, that this orange peeling happened. The color on the wall was from the previous owner, so I have no idea what kind of paint they used, but that is the reason my expensive Behr with primer did not work.
Stitching wise, well, there has been none. Right now everything in on the screen porch waiting to be put back into the new room. I am keeping the room as a guest room, but the man's dresser is going to hold all my stitchy stuff. The women's triple dresser is going to hold all my sewing stuff. Gone are the bags, boxes and plastic crates. That is my goal for this week, to put all the crafty stuff away and to make a couple of valances. One for the kitchen and the Laura Ashley bathroom (pattern: Palace garden). The half bath is in shades of lavender and will have a French Country feel.
Yesterday was my birthday, the first without Mom. Difficult day. Spent some time at her favorite local garden center. Felt her presence there. Had a serious debate about getting a gardenia standard, but decided against it for now. Weather is too weird to bring such an expensive plant home. My family was too sweet when they all got me gift cards to my favorite garden center. Makes me more anxious for the season to begin. Only a few weeks away. Went to Borders yesterday and bought myself a new garden journal. Cannot wait to fill the pages with info and photos.
That's about it for now. Happy Monday. Have a great week.
Joanne
