Before and After
Our entry way looked kind of blah to me. I love the light airiness of it, but I think it needed a little more punch. So...
I spent three days painting this. Tedious work, but I like the effect. Maybe a plant in the corner of the landing would add a little more.
One Little Thing
So I did finish one thing yesterday - a pin cushion. I've been needing a new one for a long time and had a paper pieced star just floating around. I added a border, backing and batting and voila, a new pin cushion. I worked on other projects as well, but didn't finish anything else. Maybe today.
