I am painting what used to be my daughters room and is now becoming the guest bedroom. This room might just finish me off. The paint color has been so hard to cover. The ceiling was painted 2/3rds of the way by the previous owners. The trim work needed a bunch of tender loving care. I am still painting. Have been for weeks. However, I am nearing the end. I am painting it in a color called Lemon Sorbet! Yes, exactly how you imagine it. Fresh, light and like a little ray of sunshine.
In the evenings I have been working on Hexies. I saw this quilt on Pinterest several years ago and fell in love with it. I had cut and prepped several baggies full of blocks to work on. Then they sat in the container. I am having so much fun with this project. My darling daughter and I are working our way through Gilmore Girls again this summer. That is our stitching time. She knits, I make hexagons.
Somebody wants her knitting needles. He would watch her swish the needle across the seat of the sofa and then POUNCE! I could not resist getting a picture of those eyes. 100% concentration.
Well I guess it is back to painting for me. I have sipped coffee for long enough this morning. I can't wait to show you the finished room.
Oh! This is really not encouraging. I will have to do that one day too. The difference is; I'm the one who painted the room with dark, heavy colours to represent the universe in my son's room. I hope he stays home a very looooooonnnnng time lol. Can't wait to see the "new" room. The cat's picture is so precious. Great picture. Lovely hexagon. I like the different setting. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeletewhen I saw your title I thought you were painting hexies! haha silly me. Bet the room will be so happy & pretty when you are done. Love your hexies as always
ReplyDeleteI hate to tell you but I want those purple walls. I think I am going to paint/floor my quilt lab next and i want something purple over the old paneling. I also have several "pismo dunes" (AKA I can't believe it's not butter yellow) rooms so I'm game for your sorbet color - sorry it's so hard to get good coverage. Great photo of the furbabe and your hexies are looking fine!! How big are you making the quilt?
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute with your paint brush in hand. It's a big job and hopefully, you're almost done. Love the kitty eyes.
ReplyDeleteGood for you on the painting - that is a job that I hire out! I love the Gilmore Girls and saw this morning that another blogging friend was watching it too! Love your kitty picture - that is serious concentration!
