HST'S

So, I ran around yesterday getting batting, backing etc for my STAR SPLITTER quilt, 

knowing that TODAY was the day to baste it and plan my quilting ideas...

I laid it out this morning, and I thought, 

"Well, you know, It's plenty long, but it should be a bit wider..."

So I cut my strips, laid them out, then I thought, 

"well, that's a plain border, I can't  have that!"

So I got out all my extra half square triangles left over from this quilt, and....

Well, now I am sitting here sewing more HST's ...

 It JUST HAS TO HAVE THEM!!!

Does this happen to you?

It's a serious problem, I know...

I thought I'd start showing you some pictures of my loft as we get things all put away...

I figured I'd start with My daughters room, as you know kids rooms, it may be clean for 5 minutes!

well, Boo's room, 

( She says it's OK for me to Call her BOO again, as everyone at school is now calling her that...

And I have been calling her that for the the get go!)

was clean, and it's on the fast train to messy, already, so I snapped a few pics before it's really bad.

I recovered her chair for starters... I bought this super comfy chair at a flea market in NYC long before I was married... Everyone has claimed this chair over the years, but it has become a staple in her room... a good place to sit and read....

Doesn't it look so much better!

With Stuffed doggies and all!

I bought her TWO shower curtains from Urban outfitters and made curtains out of them using fabrics from Tanya Whelan's line. This post of her's inspired Boo's room...

She had a mural on this wall, that we covered with Tanya's DOLCE fabric...

(she'll be thrilled that this was the only picture I could find for a BEFORE!!)

WALL STICKERS

We were at TARGET one day and she found a wall sticker of the STATUE OF LIBERTY

that she wanted to put over her bed between the curtains...  I thought that was a pretty cool idea!

she then wanted the NYC skyline, so we searched and searched and I found this one above her mirror on ebay... it's Vinyl stickers by lucid graphics...

She thought it needed to top her mirror...

We turned her bookcase to face her desk area, not only does it look cool painted RED, but it hides a whole mess when you walk into her room! Brilliant huh?  hahaha!

She loves her room now...  She spends a whole lot of time laying in bed reading & listening to her tunes, really becoming a TWEEN.... yikes...

Today I should get my living room rug back form being cleaned.. then I will show those pictures...

I better get back to my HST's...  They are calling me!

OH!

I have a bag of Selvages here with someone name on it...

Whose name I don't know.

leave me a comment, and I'll pick a lucky someone to send them on to!
