Technological Advancements

Wohoo! I feel as though I have gone through a rite of passage- posting pictures on my blog. 
I am incredibly technologically illiterate, so it took me a while, but here's what I have been up to the past month. My room is wallpapered, spackled, primed painted a sky blue, and the plan is to make it as natural as possible. I've found a few thrifted wood baskets that are great for destroying the dreaded messes that often accompanies creativity as well as other storage necessities (at the old house, I didn't have as much sewing space as I do now). Seeing as I couldn't post pictures before, this is a fairly accurate conglomeration of events and projects. Feel free to skip the captions- my mind is anticipating sleep, not intellect.

My room post wallpaper removal. Imagine it painted nicely, with a few outlet covers, new carpet, and fresh paint (A picture to follow in a later post- once the room has a bit more organization)

The new sun room is pretty sweet for plant propagation
 
A scarf from over the summer- now it's finally cold enough to wear it


My first quilt! A wall hanging for my bedroom (now I just need to finish the binding)
Second wall hanging- a Christmas present with darker browns (also still have to bind)



My first binding results- all I have to do is finish sewing the miters and take out the plethora of pins



The commencement of my first bed quilt- colors will match my curtains and room (if all goes swell)




My Louet love (the bribe for moving)

Hand-spun wool cowl neck in progress

Before...
...After.... a grand sized bag for my spinning wheel extras

$ 2 Thrift store dress- shortened and taken in

 So that about raps it up for today. I'm learning that everything's a work in progress, and that life is a whole lot easier leaning on Christ. Happy [belated] Thanksgiving!

    
P.S. New Jersey does have farms <3
