The week ahead . . .

Bedroom painting done and we survived the open windows and summer temperatures. At least, it helped the paint dry faster. Oh, yeah! A head's up . . . Never move a dresser with two, open cans of paint on it. Just sayin' and don't ask!

Now, the fun part - cleaning up the painting mess and putting the room back to order. I'd rather be sewing or most anything else.

Spent some 'quality' time surfing the 'net in search of interesting pincushion patterns. I'm addicted to making these small 'treasures' since they take little fabric but have lots of potential for creativity. My little mushroom house one was a great success.

Hate opening up the daily news and seeing what stupidities are coming forth from the mouths of various politicians. Do THEY ever listen to how they sound when they aren't making sense or lying a moment after making another statement? A friend sent a note that had November election day marked on the calendar and said, "Don't forget to take out the trash!" I'm casting my one vote for that!
