Getting ready

Wow, can't believe how time flies.... these last few weeks have been a blurr,,,I'm going to have to try to slow down to enjoy the days ...Went to a quilt Saturday retreat..we made a table runner, all using the Serge machine.... my choice of fabric sucked LOL... the centre little too light, one of the ladies Gerry (Geraldine) suggested to tea dye it...well, I didn't think of that LOL so now I'll have to try this...we are getting ready to paint again (hehe) did the dining room ceiling and wow, what a difference,,, I was also a smoker but quit 2 years ago, and didn't realize at that time how much it sunk into to paint,,,the previous owner was a heavy smoker and hadn't painted the ceilings in many many years according to few people here,,but anyways, this is a good way to spring clean but in the fall LOL...posting a few before and after and some new furniture pictures, hope you enjoy....Ciao, Salute, Adios, Nighty nite, Bonsoirs mes amis.....
