Hello friends!! Just a quick post on what I've been doing.....

1. I decided I didn't like any of the things I chose for Madeleine's bathroom and took them all down! mirrors & light fixtures went bye bye....I spent a day fixing the holes I put in the wall to hang the mirrors & looks exactly as it did before! Sometimes it's just not right so, back to square 1.

2. I painted the bright blue wall in Madeleine's bathroom the same color as the bathroom which is Sea Glass by SW...love the color, she NOT so much..oh well.

3. Made a t-shirt for Madeleine's Girl Scout event this past weekend...turned out cute, chk it!

materials used:

sewing machine

thread- blue & green

1- green wash cloth

1- blue wash cloth

double sided iron on interfacing for appliques{bought at Walmart}

iron

print font desired for the b & enlarge on copier

copy a GS logo from web - print & enlarge

iron on numbers{bought at Micheal's}

blue and green striped ribbon {bought at Walmart}

first

iron your double sided webbing to the backside of wash clothes

cut out printed letter and GS logo you printed

pin it on your washcloth

cut them out

iron on the t-shirt where you want them

here's the tricky part...get your sewing machine out and zig zag around GS logo and letter

last

iron on your troop number

make your bows and pin on rolled up sleeves

done!!

I have so many more ideas - next a swim team shirt /shorts/cover-up!

need to practice my sewing techniques but all is good.

4. Been keeping up with the above ground pool..we had a hard rain this past Friday and the pool was cloudy..looking better as of last night. YIPEE!!

5. I primed Madeleine's bed a few weeks ago and now just need to get my booty in gear and sand again...my neighbor is going to spray it for me!! NICE!

6. I have decided to dedicate more time to my blog so ck back for MORE posts!

{I know- what???lol }

7. I made a decision to change something I didn't like about myself and praying each day for strength!
