Just more blathering!

Still no sewing going on as I am still "knee-deep" into the painting. I did have to take a "pause" to go out an purchase more paint. I also made a pit stop by JoAnn's and picked up a few patterns that I didn't necessarily need! I found the fabric that I'll use for the duvet cover and although I didn't purchase it, I'll get it while home-dec fabric is 50% off.

I started my morning off painting at 5 am and watched Dr. Phil re-runs. Told you...I'm addicted. I'm following the Trayvon Martin case but only the updates. What is really distressing me is the Paula Deen fiasco. I probably need to find out what precipitated this whole onslaught of PD hatred but I frankly don't have a problem with her. From what I can gather she called a bank robber the "N" word some 30 years ago. Was it after he held a gun to head? Seriously, I would have called him that word and many more all while "peeing" my pants. I wonder why we are such a litigious society?

I fell really sorry for the 19 Arizona firefighters who lost their lives battling wild fires. It been the largest loss of firefighters since 911 and no less shocking. The next time you feel a "woe is me" attitude creeping up on you, think back to these heroes and thank God you have it only as "bad" as you think it is.

Bedroom redecorating progress

I did manage to get the ceiling painted last night but after seeing it in the light of day, I'll have to go over some spots. Did I mention that I ache all over? I did golf yesterday but painting that ceiling had me using muscles that had gone into retirement. Where's the Motrin. Everyday the husband comes in, while I'm faking sleep, and gives it the "once over." He didn't think I was going to do it. I sort of understand why.

Since my cancer in 2009 I have be almost devoid of energy. I think the radiation really did something to my energy level. About a month ago I noticed I was starting to feel like my old self. I knew I was getting better when I again wanted to plant flowers for the summer. I hadn't done any planting since 2008. I did get my flowers in and have graduated on to other projects I'd been putting off. Then came the idea to re-do my bedroom which is where I am now.

I purchased this set yesterday. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. I absolutely fell in love with this set. My new furniture is set to be delivered on the 18th which gives me plenty of time to finish the painting and the carpet removal. One thing I noticed while furniture shopping is that all of the woods are so dark.

I'll be in "home-dec" sewing mode soon because I am making a "duvet" cover for an existing set and will also make pillows and shams to match. Hopefully by the end of the month everything will be back where it belongs because the mess is starting to drive me bonkers!
