PRACTICE, PRACTICE = PICTURES - Sunday, March 21, 2010

I put my mind to getting pictures taken and posted!! And, I have made some progress!!
I went out and bought a camera for ME and I have "squirreled" the instructions and CD instructions away for ME!! Selfish, no just safe as I do not want this camera to be closed by DUCT TAPE!!

So, here is my progress!! Not all that interesting, but I was so anxious to prove to my self that I could do this!!

Above is the January, February and March PINE GLEN Monthly series of "Tie Up" Pillows. I am going to make a nice basket out of these along with the monthly "Tuck" Pillows also!! As is, simply is too much temptation for Miprezious to grab one, or more, and declare "oh, a pillow and just my size"!!

Above is my fireplace wall. Recently removed television table to make more room and thus television got placed above fireplace. To the left is my oxygen modulator. Not real attractive, but a bit necessary!! Much to loud to place it elsewhere. To the right is the main hallway with master bedroom at first right and "Stitching Sanctuary" to second left with the bathroom straight ahead. To those familiar with my original




Above shows the best "cloud" wall. To the right, is Max's "rat nest" that he spends about 20 hours per day in!! And, the red jar is "TREATS" and that is Miprezious' private stock. In front of the coffee table is Miprezious' own nest and she demands comfort!! My furniture is Hoveround "friendly" and not really deco attractive!! It was hard, but I am learning to live with things!!


And, you can see the six "store fronts" that I stitched many, many years ago!! They took a period of over FIFTEEN years!! They are definitely my pride and joy!!


Oh, the walls are the newly "faux" painted "clouds" by faux paint designer. And this picture shows the sun shining in on the brand new carpet showing that it is actually several shades of royal navy blue.
And, this completes the tour and the first camera practice!!
Love and Hugs!!
Deborah

You have a beautiful home and just love all the stitchy stuff on the walls, makes you know a stitcher lives here. Those pillows are great and hope you can find a place where Mizi can't get to them.

The painting looks great! I love the faux stuff. Of course the stitching on the walls set it off! And those pillows??? WOW, you have been one busy lady stitching AND putting them together! Great job! Your oxygen tank looks just like my Dad's!

I wrote a book here and lost it! I'll try again - Your rooms look fantastic. The pics of the storefronts are indeed a treasure and something to be proud of - much time involved with them. Love the new pillows - so adorable!
