An Idea
I have a great idea for a quilt project, but am not sure if I will ever be able to find the colors I need. As I’ve mentioned before Mike and I use the European bedding method. We each have our own twin sized duvet. In the summer it is so danged hot that we don’t want the duvet in the duvet cover, so we just sleep with the sheet/duvet cover. But then in middle of the night it gets a little chilly so we have somehow ended up with two ugly quilts on our bed. Both quilts were gifts from my grandmother that she bought on clearance sale for our wedding. They don’t match at all–each other or the room. I have a beautiful king sized quilt that fits the bed and looks lovely, but we are unable and unwilling to share a big blanket. I’m a cover hog. When I hog the covers Mike becomes a bed hog. When he hogs the bed I get grumpy. Thus our two ugly quilt solution.
New solution: I make two matching twin sized quilts that I love! Then our bed will be pretty and match our beachy room and I will get to make quilts and everyone will be happy. Alternately, I may search out two twin sized quilts that would match our room since that would probably end up being cheaper and would be a more immediate solution. But finding something to match my taste? May be well nigh impossible.
I saw THIS the other day and sort of fell in love. I’d like to do something similar with slightly different colors. I need to start measuring and planning and finding fabrics. As if I ever get to go fabric shopping. Ha! You can’t take a three year old to a fabric store and expect happiness. It’s just not worth the trouble.
In other news, my neighbor brought me a batch of chicken curry today. Wasn’t that sweet? Or hot. Very, very hot. It sort of burned my tongue off. But still! Who brings their neighbor food in this day and age?
My house was even presentable when she showed up because I was supposed to host a MOMS club thing, but then no one showed. I was not disappointed. It meant I got to go to BodyPump for the last time in a month. I am almost back up to the weights I was doing before the plague. I wish I could find a class in Oregon, but I know I won’t have time to go to something like that anyway.
I’m sure I had something else to post about, but my mind is blank. We’re watching Arrested Development. We’ve only been watching the first season DVDs for over a year. We like it. I don’t know why we don’t watch it more often.
