Two Projects have been Completed!

ONE
Remember The Wedding Quilt??

I actually finished it before we moved, but I'm sure you know what moving is like and will kindly excuse my not blogging it yet!


Anyway, I love how it came out. I got a little carried away washing out the marker and faded some of the notes. I guess the ink was not QUITE as permanent as I was thinking. Luckily you can still read them all.



Notice the binding? I have done a couple of these bias bindings now and I think I've finally gotten the hang of it!

Also you can see the quilting there...right?


TWO
And in this post I showed you a sneak peak of the nursery...After scraping two layers of wall paper off the bare dry wall (disappointed that the dry wall had not been sealed pre-papering, delighted that it was dry wall rather than plaster!)



repairing the numerous gouges we had made during the scraping process, sanding, washing, priming (three times! I should have gone straight for the Kilz!), three coats of ceiling paint, two coats of wall paint, two coats of trim paint, and one coat of floor paint (ok, it should have had two!) my dear, patient (I'm not that easy to work with) husband and I finally finished the nursery.



Isn't it sweet? Notice the Madona of the streets? I love that one.

Now for the list of things that aren't really quite done:
The arm of the rocker needs repairing (my dear says this weekend!)
The radiator needs to be taken off and painted
The wall behind the radiator needs to be scraped and painted
The floor needs a second coat of paint
There are these sweet little nursery rhyme prints that Mary gave me that I want to frame and hang.
And I want to get a fragment of carpet for the floor to make it a little cosier for crawling practice.

Wow, that list is longer than I thought...maybe if I make the font smaller...

Ah yes, much better.
