not just sewing

I have another project in mind.

While checking craigslist for the 368612th time for a coffee table, I saw this one. This is exactly what I have been looking for and the price was right! I loaded up the kids and drove out to get it.

Since I am in the process of changing up the living room colors, I'm thinking I will sand this down and paint it teal or turquoise (since the husband isn't too keen on me painting the living room walls one of those colors).

I've already switched out the pillows. See the icky before and awesome after pics. I am really digging the new print with turquoise. In fact, look for more pillows in the very near future.

And before you say anything, I'm already on the lookout for some neutral-ish fabric for the drapes... that will mean another trip to Golden D'or.

Oh, and I'm searching for the perfect cream rug.

Stay tuned!

and we are back!

I was at Costco this morning stocking up on the regular things we use when I decided to take a look at the cameras. For the record, I <3 Costco, and today they did not fail. They had a newer version of our old camera with $20. off! I could afford that!

So, without further ado, we return to adding photos to the posts. :-)

rest in peace my faithful camera

You will have to just imagine what I am talking about for a while. My camera has fallen victim to the two-year-old. :-( 

I did not notice that she put it in the washing machine before I washed a load of laundry. Needless to say, it did not survive. Thankfully the photos I had taken had been downloaded the night before.

So, I will continue to sew and post and hopefully will come back to add photos when we find a replacement camera.
