Florida Tea Towel Pillows

Just for Me

I have fallen in love with these pillows. 

I purchased two Tea Towels from Amazon, they are new, not antique, but they are wonderful. I added batting and quilted with large stitches. 

Added a backing, machine stitches three sides closed, filled with batting and hand stitched the bottom closed. 

All DONE ! !

Condo Wall Re-Do

Finished Wall Unit

Husband has been working on re-doing a wall in our living room, which I love and the added storage is fantastic. He finished the ship lap just a few weeks ago. 

The BEFORE – this unit is one of our first purchases for the condo. Condo Wall UnitThe taking apart

Adding new entertainment unit to wallUsing some of the before units and mixing and matching with craiglist finds (Husband is great at that) he took my drawings and went to town. I’m the idea, sanding and painting person.Adding new entertainment unit to wallThe process of this took some months, finding the fireplace with the electric insert he wanted, took a bit.

TV mount went up and I started painting AGAIN ! 

Adding new entertainment unit to wall

I started painting in the garage, BUT after about 2 boards I had to move it into the kitchen and down the hall. Plus, it cut drying time in half. This is the same blue I did our kitchen cabinets in.

Can’t tell you know much easier these products made in our work. 

It’s Been a Bit ! !

Traveling Overseas

We have been off on an adventure, with a trip overseas and with months of planning… I  learned to wait…and wait. 
Time to Wait

And to NEVER  plan these trips 18 months before you leave…it’s a bit cruel to do to yourself. GO! !

But, finally on July 14th we were on our way to a River Cruise. From Budapest to Amsterdam and every place in between. I tried to stay in EVERY moment and not behind my camera too much. That being said…I took 2957 photo’s.  I will only be sharing a few pictures, but I just have to share a bit.

This photo was one of our first evenings in Buda, we took a wrong turn walking home…it was miles out of our way, but Husband and I had a ball. Light at the start of the adventure.

And, then the Church’s… They have done them right.

Home and Not Starting too Quick

Star Quilt Patterns for YOU !

We took a fantastic vacation, returned home, laundry, sleep and re-entry to the real world.
I had visions of posts and ideas…..BUT mother nature had another thought ! Our condo building was hit by lighting, after we returned (Florida’s the lighting capital) it hit our cable, internet lines and blow my PC Computer, printer and TV  cable boxes. 
Off to the repair guy…. not repairable, off to get my laptop and thank goodness all was able to be moved to it…. I had a lot backed up on USB, but of course not everything…. I hope to get back into a schedule here again, the hard part is finding everything…But, that will come too ???? in the mean time ! 

Here is a page for a few of my Star Quilt Patterns

Everyone Needs a Place to Be

My Little Corner

We live in a little two-bedroom condo and I had to figure out my space. And this is it. I’m lucky to have a corner in our master bedroom that I call mine. Yes, I heard it too, Husband just said, “The whole house is hers!”  It’s my go to, need to be, let me alone, read and watch a Hallmark movie place. 

Of course, quilts are every place, I always seem to need one?? My thing. This is not a big space, a love seat, a table, and a lamp.

Please, try to get yourself a spot, a corner, a chair, some place to just be and take a breath. master bedroom corner space
