colors
wow! thank you for everyone who stopped by and left me a comment of my dress. it was a fun project from beginning to end, not to mention the wearability of it. i intend to make more dresses and a few other clothing items for myself before the summer ends. after that, my sister is waiting for something from me, she's expecting a baby girl later this year and i want to give her a package filled with handmade goodies!
we did a bit of house improvement this weekend, though. the place we'll be moving into needed a bit of work, we painted the craft room to be. this was what the room looks like before. i only had one thought in my head when i saw it: what were they thinking, i really wanted to know. anyway, painting is still in progress, so you'll have to wait a little for the after pictures.
needless to say, we'll be busy packing and unpacking for the next couple weeks. meanwhile, i shall indulge you in some of my oilily collection. thanks to hege, i was exposed to the wonderful world of colors a few years ago. since then, there was no turning back.

Oh my. That's some ... um ... purple, isn't it? And that ... uh ... green ... er ... thingy. Wow. Looking forward to seeing what you're going to do with it.

Well, I like the purple walls with white trim, but the green and the primaries have to go. What color are you painting?

Wow, that's eye-popping alright...just how many coats of paint will it take to tone *that* down? :) With the lovely green just outside the window, I can't imagine choosing those colors...

Wow! They left you a lot to work with, that's for sure. I'll be excited to see what you do with it :)

Your dress is fantastic!
I guess that lilac-crazy room made some little kid pretty happy for a while. But, yikes!
