Wow - at home

All I do is centred in HOME.  From a contented place I create.  I create things for home.  Home reflects my creativity.  It really is a fun circle!

The best way I know to put my own personal stamp on my place of abode is to make as much of what goes into it myself.

Hence today's project.  Fitted sheets for the Sunshine Room's bunk beds..

The foam for the mattresses has arrived.  We'll cut it, make up the beds and await the weekend guest.
I had bought yards of pillow ticking thinking I'd use it to dye my own fabric. And it does dye wonderfully. But it is also a very tight weave and difficult to be doing a lot of stitching on.

These bunk beds are specially sized so I'll use the fabric to make sheets. They will be white for now but I'll dye them this summer when I make pillow cases and such to go with the quilt tops I have waiting to be machine quilted. The top is on the left and the backing on the right.

I also need to finish painting the doors and colour coordinating the odd woods and file cabinet.

So that isn't too exciting.

What I'd rather be doing is reading my new book.  I need to identify my artistic signature because it will affect everything I make whether it is an object of art or an home that reflects me.

Okay, back to the sewing but I'll definitely be thinking hard about 'my signature'!
