Getting Ready for Spring
We are so far from Spring in Wisconsin... but I need to
get some Spring in our house as we need to preserve
our sanity. It's been a bad winter!
~
I'm working on this felt picture (below) to go along with
the new bed linens I ordered.
I'm creating this as I go along but I think it's
almost done. A few more blue flowers...
stitch down the window crossbars...
and maybe a kitty in the window?
~
I'll share the finished picture tomorrow.
It needs a good steaming, a mat, and a frame.
These are the new bed linens... a photo from the catalog
as mine haven't arrived yet.
Our bed tables are red so this should all tie together
and brighten my favorite room.
Off to finish the window picture.
~or~
crawl back in bed for just a bit.
There are school delays as we had a
thunderstorm last night on top of all the snow
and there's lots of ice out there.
Make this a great day!
Joni

Here I sit, with the silly grin pasted to my face again, I love the colors, the picture you made to compliment the linens, and the idea of adding a kitty in the window of the picture [yep... you know me and my kitties!!!] Thanks for sharing your cheerful picture and I do look forward to seeing the completed room when your new bedding arrives!
