I posted my quilts under MorelCabin Quilts thread:>) Beekissed, and FC... thanks for your prayers:>) They really mean alot!
Today i spent painting a sign that someone called and asked me to do for her son for Christmas. I haven't painted in a coupe of years and I am VERY rusty...Ughhh...and I am my own worst critic. I am going to get through it though and get it done...no matter what I think of it...
My quilts (gifts) for everyone on my list are finished...that is one thing out of the way. I have two gifts left to buy and some stocking stuffers for my youngest son.
Ever notice that Christmas just isn't as exciting when your kids are all grown up...no more anticipation, no one to help you decorate the house and tree...no one to bake with, and make little crafts with. It just isn't the same. I was trying to put my finger on why I don't really get excited about Christmas like I used to, and that is it! At least I know that it isn't me...it's just that circumstances change..and children are the ones who truly bring all the fun into the season.
Ahhh almost empty nest...LOL...
| had the most wonderful time with my daughter. She ended up spending the night and staying for the whole day the next day. We coloured our hair and chatted, it was wonderful to have her. She will make such a great mom, just listening to her talk tells you that she already cares for this baby and is planning planning and planning...first thing she's ever planned in her life:>) This whole thing will be good for her:>)
We planned out the baby's room. We are painting it beige and over the crib we are going to writeout a "Now I lay me down to sleep" prayer in a beige shade that is only one shade darker than the wall colour but it will have a shimmer to it so it will look very elegant. It is going to be a lamb theme...so it will be ultimately all beige and white...and we'll add pink or blue accents later. And I am gong to start woking on a beige quilt with a white lamb in the center and stitch the same prayer as on the wall all around the outside edge. I may attemp crib bumpers to match. It will be a really fn project. She moves into her apartment Jan 2 so we have until April to get it all done:>) I am really enjoying this now:>)
