Carried away with Painting..

I think its safe to say that I have picked the wrong color! I thought it was so cute in the Pottery Barn mag. Now that the room is finished, I don't know what to think. Its so bright and so blue! Baltimore sky that is.

I added some cute little birdies just above the couch. What I really need is a tree to go right in the middle, maybe. I dunno. Might just make it look worse. Any suggestions?? Or should I just start all over?

Last week I was driving home and spotted an awesome table and four chairs by the street. They were in perfect condition. All they needed was a fresh coat of paint! Still working on the chairs. I don't understand why people just get rid of things. Everything can be redone! I think this project came out better than the living room.

All this painting has left little time for sewing and crafting. I have got to get busy!

My Very First Blog Entry

Okay. This is my first blog entry... ever! I am not sure what I should write about so who knows what will end up here.

Today, I am happy. I weighed myself and have now lost 30 lbs. This is just totally amazing to me. I am actually doing it. I don't know where I have gotten the strength to keep this up. I have tried diets over the years and have never been able to do it for more than 2 weeks. Tomorrow will be 8 weeks. There have been days I feel like I just want to stop but I can't. I can't give up.

I have been trying to keep myself busy. I seem to be constantly cleaning something lately. I found a table and chairs on the street last Sunday.. and today I refinished them. Sanded, painted, and looking all cute. Then I began painting the living room. I am not sure about the color though. I was looking through the new Pottery Barn mag the other day and it looked good in there. ha ha. I painted part of the wall and hope it dries a little darker. I will have to take some pics once it is finished.
