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.....

That weaving ribbon through your serge stitches is neat!!! I haven't learned how to do that stitch with my serger yet...Just know the basic to put sweat-suits together... 8-(
If your don't like that light fabric you used in the table topper you could always do some applique on it to give it some more interest...Just a thought... 8-)
Your rooms are coming along nicely, and the furniture is lovely!
Watch your neck! 8-)
I might have to try your table runner. I tried that technique just on a sample but never thought of doing it on a table runner. It must be very fast.
The house is looking good but painting ceilings---yuk!
I like your table runner .Your rooms are lovely ,you've been working very hard ,don't over do it .
Things are coming together nicely Lise! I was shocked with the difference in colour on the ceiling!
Painting ceilings are not fun so a bit at a time, right?
Love the view out your sewing room window too....Cheers, QGB
