A weekend project
What did everyone do this Memorial Day weekend?
I thought I'd share a bit of mine with you. Eric and the kids went to visit my in-laws; I am on a deadline for work and needed access to my internet and graphics tablet, so I stayed behind. In the spirit of biting off more than I can chew - a trait I undoubtedly inherited from my mother - I decided to redo our daughter's room as a surprise. Between running upstairs to cover both the room and myself in paint (I am a sloppy painter) and running downstairs to do design work, it has been a crazy weekend.
It is still incomplete. I didn't have time to sew bedding, so I purchased Amy Butler bedding from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I am going to eventually supplement that with accessories in my Veranda line using the pink, green, and aqua prints, but Caitrin and I will work on that together. I want to cover the white lampshade I bought with the green and aqua fabrics in the line. I think Town Square will look perfect at the end of the bed when I get it back from Robert Kaufman.
They are coming home in a few hours. I can't wait.
Back to work - thanks for letting me share!
Happy sewing!
Amanda

It looks lovely! I think the bedding is super bright and cheery! I bite off more than I chew can too, my Mom says my eyes are always bigger than my tummy ;)
