Sew Crafty Friday

It's Sew Crafty Friday over at Shereen's blog, Waiting for Him. Take a minute and go check out the crafts over there.

Well, we since moving I haven't had a whole lot of time for crafting. This week I started stenciling Emily's room. I wanted to keep the theme of roses.

If you remember, I'm working on a quilt for her room. I'm going to make curtains as well.

Here is the quilt material.

I only got one corner of the room done so far.

My husband suggested I just do the corners of the room as opposed to the whole room. What do you think?

Hopefully next week I'll actually have some crafts to show you.

    Very pretty Terri! I think your hubby's suggestion is a good idea...it would look less busy than stencilling all the way round and it would stand out as a very pretty room feature.

    love, Tina :)

    Terri, I love the rose theme in both the stenciling and the quilt. You are very multi-talented!

    Thank you ladies! I love the roses. Emily informed me last night that there was too much pink in them. I told her at this point she would have to get over it! LOL!

    Oh they look great!!! I wish I could do something like that! I agree, I'd just do the corners...especially since Emily is getting pink overload ;) It's less work for you, and it looks to her as if you're really trying to give her just what she wants ;) A win win!

    I'm looking around...I guess I could do something like that in the livingroom here. Most of the walls are beadboard though, so it wouldn't look so nice. Hmmm, maybe something to think about now that I'm done painting in here ;)

    Love,

    I seem to be joining the concensus of opinion here. I love the stenciling, and since I like things to be slightly out of the ordinary, I think that just doing the corners would be just the ticket.

    Oh, I love it! And I agree, just the corners. It gives the room an elegant and feminine touch without being too old-fashioned. Your work is amazing--I love the way you graded the colors!
    I missed SCF today, alas. I can't find my camera!

    Ladies, thank you for your kind comments. I decided to go with the majority and just do the corners of the room. It's actually less work for me that way! ;-)

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a...

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost ...

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...
