On Sunday, Hubby (Mike) and I traveled to Washington, DC, it was for work but we were able to enjoy a Monuments by Moonlight bus tour. This marks my fourth trip to DC, the first when I was 18. It was Mike's first trip to DC and the bus tour was a fantastic way for him to see the monuments.
I just got a new phone and I am amazed at the quality and clarity of these pictures.
Here is the Korean
Then Vogue 1407 in front of the Capitol
I have started a big house project that involves tape, sandpaper, primer and paint.
Painting the woodwork in our house. It is a big job but one I can work on a bit most days and hopefully by spring it will be complete.
Before - this room we call the mudroom - the side to the right has cubbies, hooks for coats, places for shoes, etc. This room and one bathroom are completely done.
We just hung the door back tonight and I had to take an after picture in the dark. I love how this looks, like a different house.

I do think we are going to hire a painter for a couple of rooms, particularly the ones with carpet. I have one coming to give me a bid, we will see his bid and my budget!
A bit of sewing for the post, I have had this quilt completed for a couple of months Finally, I have made one for a baby boy gift.
It was inspired a bit from this one but the direction of the puppy fabric and the quantity of 1 yard necessitated the change in direction.
Lastly, thanks for the comments on the Fashion Inspiration post. I am going to continue that one a weekly or bi-weekly basis on Fridays, the title Friday Fashion Inspiration. I am so clever! HA!
I am finishing up a big quilting project that will be completed tonight, then back to fashion sewing. I have such a list I want to do for fall and winter

Lori , you are always such an inspiration . I love the idea on the boy quilt of just piecing some sections not the whole quilt . The color combo is also not one I would have thought of but looks great. Your new dress also was stunning . :)
ReplyDeleteYou are such a busy lady and such an inspiration for us all!
ReplyDeleteThere is always a house project, isn't there? The problem in my house is how many are incomplete:) I love your DC photos and glad you had a fun place to wear your new dress.
ReplyDeleteOh the painting looks great! I need to bite the bullet and paint my kitchen cabinets like you did, but I'm too scared. I'm just tired of them (maple with clear varnish), but am worried I will regret painting them and wish they were wood again.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much it updates the room when you paint the woodwork and doors white. I like the quilt, such a good way to show really cute fabrics without cutting them up into such small pieces. Cute.
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous in your Vogue dress!
ReplyDeleteI remember when you talked about going to DC in SewForth Now (a field trip for one of the girls I think) - you talking about it made it real to me. Then not too long after I got to go there myself for the first time. I'm so glad you got to go back. I'm hoping to go again and find the Rails-To-Trails trail I chatted with a fellow camper about this summer, where you can stop off on your bike and see Civil War battle sights. Wouldn't that be a great way to see them?
