And the score is...

hhmm.  You wanna know something.  I am no good at math and I NEVER keep score in a game or in life.  I am not one of those who shall remain nameless (Cock a doodle do nor first peep peep) who obliterate the accomplished item from not only the initial page but the impression three pages down.  LOL 
I do not count stitches, yardage, hours or finished projects.  And if I am now forced to carry a list to town it is usually to check to confirm I missed a few things when I return home.  ;)

The seasonal accessories are all under their covers.  My stuff is pretty much done except for the paint cans.  I'm waiting on the Rooster to figure out how he wants his spices arranged in the pantry.  :O  Then we'll tackle the tools and paint. I may have some paint for that far back corner which will have a clothes bar set up when the boxes for the kitchen remodel leave.  Feels good.  Move ahead five free jumps!

I did a deep clean  of the upstairs and found some missing fabrics for my wall hanging. I'm think I'm at the miss a turn stage of the game with it as I think and then decide about stenciling or stamping any leaves on it.

If the name of the game is fun, I am advocating this sticky back foam for stamps.  LUV it!  This technique just skips me right into the final round with confidence that I'm a contender for the prize.  :)

I am feeling my points adding up in my copycat journal. Unlike solitaire this involves watching the other player's moves and then that  makes you think about your next move.  Its good.

The year long monthly technique class from Julie Balzer is really helping me understand how to do things.  I signed up for the 12 months of classes and I am definitely getting my moneys worth.

I can have a leisurely play time this evening with my scrapbook layout and reflect on a score that reveals that this week's work was fun indeed!

Wow, windows

I was introduced to duvet covers by my aunt.  She gave me her two single sized feather ticks and several covers and pillow cases. Straight  from Germany!  I passed on the the pillows and ticks to those who really luved them but kept the bedding.  What gorgeous fabric!   I have used the pairs of covers as long curtains. These are an extremely washable and sturdy cotton damask fabric with a lovely texture that is reversible.

So when I am in the thrift shop I keep an eye out for suitable covers.  Such a find was this orange duvet cover.  The fabric is strong enough to hold up to tearing the sewn seam free and leaving a strong selvage edge.  By cutting the button and button hole bands off I have fabric that is 53 inches wide and 144 inches long,  just barely enough for a pair of short curtains for the Sunshine room!  I will actually be using the side that faced inward so it is practically brand new!  lol

I just am thrilled with this golden yellow with an orange stripe.

Getting a good picture is a challenge.

Hind sight:  I should have faced the top for the gathers and rod pocket and then had more depth in the bottom hem. But it passes the galloping horse test and the grand kiddies themselves will be moving fast enough to not notice small glitches.  lol
And now I'm reviewing the pictures I'm not so sure I like the curtain rod showing.  Hmm, I need another creative 'wht if...'.

Now for the would-be bathroom.  I have a pair of duvets that will give me lots of options! The fabric is thinner but I do have two.  They are white with thin orange stripes and some wider ones in blue, pink, yellow and mint green.  I'm thinking that this bathroom will be white.   I will have options!

I will also have scraps.  This particular fabric is pretty soft (worn) so I'm not sure how it would piece together in a quilt.  But there is another 'what if...'.

I'll be checking out any windows I can see from the gals who link up to The Needle & Thread Network.  I might  get some more inspiration!
