yay! I am finally taking the time to participate in amylouwho sew n tell again! I love doing this each week and of course have taken many weeks off but hopefully I can remain more consistent, I love looking at the other gals projects and I get soooo inspired!
I sewed a curtain for my kitchen, I have been slowly redoing my kitchen adding in more aqua and red color and I am loving touches of the linen
I can't believe it's been over two weeks since I blogged, between being a wife and mom, my school and Zachs track, life just has been getting away from me!
This week Jim celebrated his 49th birthday, Zach had his first track meet of the season and I am still at school learning ASL (I love it!) I was telling Jim last night that *IF* I would have known before all that is involved in learning ASl, I think it would have intimidated me too much to learn, but I am so glad I started last semester :)
I am finishing up a quilt for Jim, looking for some colors and a design to start another quilt for Zach, I think he decided upon browns, blues and greens, so I just need to start collecting those certain fabrics and decide on what type of quilt to make for him.
Have a good weekend! HUGS!

Thank you for stopping by my sew and tell. I am also a believer in Jesus. It's great to make your acquaintance.
Your window treatment turned out really nice.

I love the curtain idea! So simple yet classy with a touch of color! I'm like you at times when it comes to blog posting....sometimes it's a while in between posts! Love the music on your blog and all the Scripture! Looks like we have lots in common - nice to have met a new sister in Christ...I learned a bit of ASL when I was a kid and my dad taught deaf children....I know, I'm talking too much!!!! Love your blog, bye!!! Jenn

your kitchen has to be amazing...this curtain is stunning. i love the way you used such a bold color combination and then softened it with the linen....such a great finish and glad you were back this week

Your curtain is gorgeous. The quilt I am currently piecing is exactly the same colour palette, including the linen. Love it.

Your curtains are lovely. Kitchen curtains are on my to do list. I like how yours are colorful without being overwhelming.

Oh, I am totally stealing your idea! I love the linen and color accents. Beautiful!!

I love the linen with the red and aqua! It looks fantastic. Good luck with your ASL, it was my minor and I absolutely LOVED it. I use it much more than I ever would have thought even though I don't interpret. But it was also more work than I expected, but totally worth it.
