The Finished Article

Remember I posted about the bargain boot sale shelves a few days ago?  Well, they have been painted and strengthened with wood glue and put up.

Here they are:

All this junk, I mean Keanan's treasured possessions were on his window sill before.  He had so much stuff that there still are a few items on the window sill, but not they are not all squashed together they look so much better.

His room has newly painted white walls and woodwork.  Bliss!  For me at least!  Ethan's room is next on the hit list.

I am having a small painting break though and need to get some sewing done for the BBC village fete in September.  Plus I have my plans for the gazebo a la Cath Kidston but on a cheaper scale!

This week has been a sewing desert.  I really find that after several days of not sewing, I just feel the need to sew.  Which means I am going to leave you with a sneak peek of what I am working on at the moment.

Time for another macro moment

I love the shelf!!! We thrifted a shelf too for our boys' room, but I let them paint it themselves. To be honest, I like yours better...ours looks like a bad case of skater grafiti!

Love, love the shelves. I love shelves in general. But I just love the color of this one on the white background with all the colorful things in it. CUTE!!!
