They fly!

How is summer already over?
We go back to school in  a week...

Time to cross a few more things off of our summer fun list!

Make sure you stop by tomorrow.

I'm having an end of the summer etsy sale and I'll tell you more about it :)

Scrappy Rainbow Quilt-a-long, Week 3

Hi!
Happy Sunday.
I've got a crock-pot full of beef stew cooking for dinner, a loaf of banana bread made from scratch in the oven, and I've been sewing on and off all afternoon.  I love Sundays at home, with no where to go and no where to be!  :)

Here is my second row of blocks made this week:

These blocks are totally time-consuming but I still love them so much.  There is something so satisfying about using all these scraps that may have otherwise been thrown away to create a beautiful quilt.  My goal this week is two blocks a day, although that may be a tad unrealistic.  ;)

Have you made any yet?

Randomness

I'm in a blogging funk.  That's only to be expected, right?  I'm just not feeling the groove, but I know it will pass.

When we were at the beach, we had the rest of the tile and carpet in our living room/family room/kitchen ripped out and wood floors put in.  They came yesterday to put the baseboards up.  Now we have to put everything back.  True to form, I am re-arranging...again!  I am constantly trying to maximize the space in our house.  I love decorating and my tastes change a lot, so it's fun for me!

I am looking forward to a bloggy house tour sometime in the near future...

We only have nine more days until school starts.
I am relieved on one hand to get back to a routine, and to work uninterrupted again.
But I am sad too...where did the time go?  We had such a nice summer...

Are you wondering what in the world these pictures are?
They are a self-portrait I started, I don't know, two years ago?  I found it today while I was cleaning, purging, organizing (and moving) my art supplies.
My eyes are two different colors, but I surely exaggerated that in this painting.

Anyway, I have no intention of finishing it, so it went in the garbage today.
I am totally okay with getting rid of projects that I'm not going to use.
Sometimes it's all about the process, you know?

Have a super-duper wonderful weekend!

I'll be back on Monday to share how I'm doing on my scrappy rainbow blocks.

Murals

I've had the privilege of painting some murals at my kids amazing church pre-school.
This school and the teachers have blessed us in so many ways!  I am excited to share my love of art with them.

This room features an alphabet tree...

 It goes from the floor to the ceiling!

 Whoooo is ready to learn?  ;)

I used scrapbooking paper for the leaves.

And then added a couple of butterflies around the room.

 You know I love me some rainbows...

Now that I'm looking at it, I think that cloud needs some glitter!

I still have a few more rooms to do.   I'm having so much fun! 
Happy Wednesday...
