Series Work: Making Parts
Yesterday's newly made parts mixed with leftovers from Bon Bon
Now that I get the series concept, I am making it work for me. This one is going to be a different layout, and have a few more contrasting colors.
I still have more parts to make from this pile of fabric.
I found a safe place to hang Bon Bon for the moment. My room has southern windows and on sunny days (300 days a year) it is too bright to hang quilts in the sun. This wall is perfect. And I see it first thing as I climb the stairs. New curtains will co-ordinate.
And Bradford Copse fits right in here, next to the beverage bar.
I usually take a long time to put rod pockets on the back of my work. But finding a place to hang these two speeded up the procrastination.
Mickey Depre had a great idea on her blog. Go through the house and find five things a day that you could easily live without. And of course the next step is to get rid of them. She has five family members, and in a month that means 600 items that have left the building. Woo!
Like Mickey's idea....just as long as none of those 5 family members ticks her off!
ReplyDeleteYou are really going gang-busters making that home YOURS.

Five members? I just counted 2 teenagers and both parents, where is the missing person?
ReplyDeleteMickey may be using a condensed version of the FlyLady's 27-Fling Boogie; you can see it here-

I can do this every week and the Stuff grows back.
You've heard of typo's? I did a 'reado'!

I read "She has five family members and of course the next step is to get rid of them."
More space for the stash when they're gone I suppose!!!
I read the same as Linda and was wondering if Mickey was going to get rid of her family members first!
ReplyDeleteI love your series and have enjoyed reading about your move and getting settled in your new home.
I thought I must have a very wicked mind, reading that Mickey was going to get rid of her family members (and having a laugh about it) but luckily Linda and Corky read the same.
ReplyDeleteYour work is very beautifull, Melody, I am impressed with the brightness of it.
Meloday - just love the Bon Bon series. It's like taking a stroll through the Bahamas. They're wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCould you share your hanging system (seen in the "Bradford Copse" photo in this post)? I love the simplicity of it.
Thanks for the wonderful blog!
