Snow Day Projects...


I'm still working on my "blizzard" quilt, the quilting part is killing my wrist, not too mention the sitting part.  But we had yet ANOTHER snow day yesterday and I've been wanting to make some new pillow covers for the family room. So I propped myself, half on half off on my sewing chair(it's a very old wooden office chair, I think I need a new comfy one instead) and made some covers. I used a couple old chenille quilts for the project.  5 new pillow covers checked off my To Do List!



And I also made two new covers for the big floor pillows in front of the fireplace...

I got lucky with this pillow, when I took off the sweater cover I had on it, I forgot that it had a white crocheted cover underneath! Yay!



I've been slowly adding more and more white to the house and after the pillows were done, I decided it was time for a bit more editing and whitening of the  faimly room.  Moved some things around, and turned this into a my sewing area storage cupboard...

And this is my sewing nook behind the couch...

Looking from my sewing area...

Between the front windows in my sewing area...

Because I moved the white hutch, it left a big open wall... I put up a quilt hanger and added a vintage bedspread... oh and I painted the tops of a couple pieces white.

Different angle of the area to the left of the fireplace...

And this is the wall where the new quilt will go. I love the one that is up, but I'm going to use it for Fall and Winter only.

The kids are back in school today(we had a 2 hour delay) and I'm home from putting up the new bulletin boards. Now I just have a ton of huge Dr. Seuss drawings to make for tomorrow(for another school project).

Have a lovely day,

Tiff
