This past summer one of the neighbors was having an estate auction and moving. Of course my husband was super interested in going. We specifically found a large metal bucket that was full of brand new canning jars, we wanted it.

Although the bedroom is quickly wrapping up…just a little more to do. I wanted to share the curtains I had made.
The color to the bedroom didn’t turn out exactly as I was hoping…I’m slightly disappointed by it, but if all else fails, I can paint over it in a couple years anyways. I am slightly kicking myself, I think I should have went with a more neutral color.
But none-the-less it’s clearly better than the grey that was there before it.
First quilt of sorts…

With all of the finishing touches of the living remodel almost to a completed status and a working like a maniac (somehow picked up a fourth job as adjunct math teacher for Minot State) I have had little time to myself for doing anything fun. I started working on my first quilting project. I started off with a small pattern. I decided that charm packs are quite adorable with all the fabric choices and wanted to create a project which utilized them. I found a charm pack at the local quilting store, Quilted Ceiling, and they had all kinds of pastels, browns, and teals. This is the theme I kind of want to go for in my bedroom. I decided to make a table runner, except I would be using it as a piece to go on top of my dresser.
Pillow Fun!

Since graduating I have realized, I have a lot of time, I mean A LOT of time and most I spend rummaging through other blog websites and google for fun projects. I have created a stash of leftover fabric remnants from various projects I have completed. Some small and some large pieces, and I didn’t know what to do with them.
One of my many cousins’, Cami, is moving into a new place and had invited me to her housewarming party; however, I will be unable to attend, but still wanted to do create something nice for her for her new place. I headed off to the internet in search of some ideas…
