Life Goes On and So Don't My Projects

I am still here, I have not fallen off the face of the earth.  I have been recovering from my husbands death and I am learning to move on without him.  Its 5 mos. since I lost the best friend I ever had, but I am learning to live without him.  I am begining to get back to myself especially my tatting.

So far, I have replaced the rest of the windows in my house, and after 15 years I finally picked a color for my living room called oak barrel.  It is the color my husband wanted me to paint the living room, only every brown I brought home from Lowe's he did not like. Then I went to Sherwin Williams and when I walked in and saw the color, I knew it was the one for my living room.






The spare bedroom was a dark blue so I painted it a light blue.  I hung white and blue curtains, I will have to add a picture.




Now that my whole house is painted on the inside, I am working on the outside. Today I painted the porch grey from the red.  It goes well with my new white front door and secure storm door. Next Wednesday my porch and stair rails will be installed. I will then be finished with my house projects and off I go to buy a rocker for the front porch so I can enjoy the rest of my life while tatting.  I also had new french doors installed in my craft room.  I got the ones with the blinds which I absolutely love.

I am still working on my St. Francis Garden, I will have to take some pictures of it. I let the weeds take over in some places and I am doing my best now to get rid of them.  My pineapple lilies are in bloom and are so awesome looking.

Well I will go for now, I am working on my projects to enter in the state fair. I promised myself  I will take a week to complete each project for the State Fair.  So I will have plenty of time to get them all done.
