Border -1 Down 13 to Go

I did one of the border pieces for my BOM. There are 14 total and I have one down!  It was a challenge, but hey I am up for a good challenge! Let me know what you think ....

BOM: March

I finally got March BOM finished today! I am really thrilled about it.  It went pretty smooth with a very small bump in the road.  It's amazing how much fun I am having with applique. Did I just say that. I was really scared of it but now I am facing my fears and doing it! Another thing I am going to scratch off my NOW list. Oh NOW is something I have yet to blog about! Perhaps I should!  That is for another post!

I got a Wall!!!

I got a wall! Not just any wall! A design wall! So does that mean they expect me to do something with it or do I get to go in my Play Area and stare at it??

Well I did it with lots of help! My husband Richard, put it up  for me...what a guy. I guess that what husbands do when you been married for 29 years....

Tom Russell was a huge help on it and Tom thank you for all of your valuable and free advice on it! Something tells me that Tom will be collecting on that advice.....  Tom a huge Texas thank you!!!

So it went into stages.

The stage before it began, my daughter painted the room in her Trading Spaces Phase and she still is in that phase... everytime I go to her house something is different!



The 2nd stage.. I went to Lowes and priced "foam" Insulation. I picked the blue one .... it was best for what I needed it for!


The final Stage of it! The Flannel goes up.  I went to Hobby Lobby and picked it out. It works for me and I am happy!!!




The entire room is getting a face lift and this is all you are going to see of it. I am in a limited space but it will grow a bit... it will be shared room and there will be a futon in it.... So I guess if My family wants to visit me while I am playing.... they will have a place to crash !!
