So Many Starts

Finally a start has been made on painting the kitchen.  I am loving the colour and am excited to put some grey accessories next to it.  We are going to lightly sand the worktops and redo them with some Danish oil to tidy them up for awhile.  I have already made some pelmets for the windows which will tie the two rooms together.  The utility needs a lot more work and has become a dumping ground, now this is a room that needs some serious work!  Slow but steady.




There is a slight reflection but you can see the colour, it is called platinum and reminds me of a blue rinse ladies of a certain age had years ago.  It will probably need a couple of coats.  We are now looking at the options for the floor but this won't be done until we complete the utility so that the two rooms can be done together.

I am almost out of blank cards/notelets so I sat yesterday and made a few.  I do need to put some time aside and restock the card drawer, there are a lot of Birthdays coming up.





Simple but effective, perfect for those I thought of you moments.  Definitely simple but still filled with love.

Finally a start had been made on Hectors quilt, progress is slow but at least progress is been made.








Another project filled with love.  What are you working on?

I have so many starts at the moment but not a lot of finish's.  As always thank you for your support and lovely comments they are always appreciated.

See you soon.

  7. Love the grey. Much to my surprise I am very much into greys and beiges for home decor at the moment.
    Beautiful cards and Hector's quilt looks like it is going to be stunning.

  8. Your cards are lovely. You have so much energy. Is it the sea air or just your natural temperament?

    Can't wait to see the finished room.

  9. That color looks very nice and fresh. Your card-making is lovely. Stamping the fabric for the quilt is a lovely idea.

  10. I really like that color. It's similar to the color Mandy and Brad painted their new house. It's so clean and warm looking.
    The cards certainly don't look simple to me. Such a lot of love and talent put into each of them. My goodness! You even have a stamp for your name on the back! I love it.
    And the quilt is looking wonderful. I remember when our grandson Caleb was so into "Cars". Actually, he still likes the movies.
    Have a lovely day my friend.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  14. The best way to make a quilt is start one I say. Well done you. You can always add a bit here and there. We have been doing a bit of kitchen work too. It felt like January was a good time for it when we can't get out to do garden jobs. Great minds think alike. Jo xxx

  15. You do have a lot of things in process at once! It makes me crazy to have too many projects going at once but I think it's typical of creative people. One by one, they will get done! Don't fret.

  16. Fresh paint makes such a difference. I like your color, but had to laugh when you mentioned the blue rinse color. My Nanny used that and I always thought it strange. I hope you share your finished quilt. Someones going to be happy with it! ♥

  17. Painting is such an efficient way to make a difference in a room.

  18. Lots of creativity going on there - love the new paint color. Gray is so popular right now - both my daughter and my son have painted all their walls gray with white trim and it really does look nice. It goes with everything. Your cards are very sweet and the little quilt is wonderful. Being stuck inside in winter does bring out the creative spirit sometimes! Looking forward to seeing the results. xx Karen

  20. Nice color on your walls. I should do more of my photography cards this year. I usually wait til I almost need one when I make it. Sigh! thanks for the inspiration. I need to start on my oldest granddaughter's quilt. I've not got anything cut out yet. Do you want to come help? :-} Take care my friend across the miles!

  23. When I start to paint the kitchen that’s exactly what I do - start. Then I leave it for a few days, do a little more, leave it again - and so on. Drives my wife crazy!
