Due to Easter weekend, I accomplished nothing on Saturday or Sunday.
But, yesterday morning I was determined to make my pillows.
Actually, first I planned to paint my record cabinet white.
I was pulling it out from the wall when Steve walked through the living room and asked,
"what are you up to now?"
"what are you up to now?"
He has been reeling with all of my changes this week.
He commented to everyone at Easter dinner that he never knows what the living room will look like from day to day.
JP's comment was, "the one constant in this house is change!"
Anyway, when I told Steve that I was going to paint the cabinet, he put his foot down.
It seems he loves the cabinet just as it is.
He never made a comment on it when I painted it the three colors and he rarely makes any comments regarding his opinions about the decorating.
It's his house too, so the cabinet stays red, yellow and blue.
With the cabinet off the list, I got out my sewing machine and started the pillows.
Like most of my projects, the vision and the reality are quite different.
The plan was to make two yellow pillows and three red polka dot pillows.
I already had some smaller yellow pillows in the same color and I like them.
Instead of making large yellow pillows, I made large white pillows.
With only two floral pillows, the look is less "busy".
And the floral incorporates all my favorite colors.
I can always change the white out with a check or stripe if I want.
When I bought the chair, there were two large pillows, but it was actually uncomfortable with the two large pillows so I just have one large and one smaller pillow.
#1 is finished.
A fresh new look on the sofa
and on the chair.
A list that is almost complete.
I will finish the dresser tomorrow.
And Steve would say, "enough already".
But, there are so many ideas running around in my head.
