Actually it's not just today that I'm a maniac.
Sunday, on a whim I painted the kitchen,
totally
unintelligently unintentionally.
I figure whilst I'm feeling energetic of mind
I may as well put it to good use.
So now I just have
kitchen worktops to sand and oil
all the woodwork (incl doors) in the house to paint
front door to paint
hallway to paint
hallway to paint
kitchen table legs to paint
two more chairs to paint
loft room to paint
new front fence to stain...
So not much sewing doing,
except..
GIANT patchwork!!
I am intending this to be a cushion.
(but unlike my friend Diane
who sets out to make quilts and ends up with cushions,
I always set out to make cushions but end up with quilts!!!)
Wouldn't this make an awesome quilt though!!!

As requested a before and after.
The paint was a left over,
the orange was not our choice!!
Not that exciting really!

ahahah oh you crack me up. Thats something I would do- paint the kitchen on a whim. Dave has been know to touch a window cill, furniture or wall to find wet paint- oops. need signs.
better to be manic than unproductive, no?
xo em
Heck yes! Want to come to my house - I have a few chores and some sewing too! LOL!
I've lots of jobs needing done, but I've started a quilt! Just a random hexagon one, made from the childrens' old clothes. It's rather addictive...
you're hilarious! the giant patchwork is awesome..
good luck with your "housework", I won't complain about having to do 2 loads of laundry today knowing what you're doing..
I bet it's a lot brighter in there.... at least when you sewing you know your kitchen is done!

word verif is liken, I tell you I'm liken it!
Love the new kitchen colour... and your kitchen floor (which is just the same as mine - they show every speck and crumb those dark floors don't they?!)
Much perfer the new colour choice. Our kitchen was a much harsher terracotta colour when we moved in; we quickly changed it to a chalky cream. Notice any similarities :)
Love the giant patchwork but I have to say I really hate painting. If I were you I would be patchworking!!!
Kitchen is a nice colour though.:)

I see now that my pieces are just too small. Love your kitchen. xxxx
Wow what a lot of painting you have done and still to do, like the new colour's.
I'm the same ... when I have an energy burst I just do everything at once. Am waiting for one to strike now as I have a list of stuff that needs doing!
Sounds as though you had boundless energy!
Love your quilt Summer of Love, it's beautiful. Look forward to seeing your large hexagon cushion.
Lovely paint job! I LOVE your giant patchwork. Please do an EXTREME patchwork quilt!!! Have you seen the extreme knitting and crochet that are doing the rounds? They are knitted/crocheted on giant needles and hooks. One knit row is about an inch thick!
