Adios 2011! Tomorrow we meet 2012. I’ve been trying to come up with some things I want to do in 2012 regarding Applique Cafe and my blog. Still working on the blog list! I have a few ideas for AC! Here’s an updated picture of our “office/sewing room”. I got my chairs back and they look great (painted and slightly distressed by Chic Restoration)! The cushions are original (took the red fabric off) so I need to recover those. Still pondering painting the room….
Here is Sissy’s dresser in her room too. Love the dresser! It doesn’t look too exciting in there. Her bed is not made and the room is a general wreck so check out this post to see what the rest of the room looks like! If you notice the little book dead center in the middle of the dresser… that’s there because while trying to hang the mirror the white hanger fell and landed on the dresser, chipping out a chunk of paint! We’re now on the hunt for some more paint so I can touch it up. We went to Lowes today but they were out of the type paint I needed.
Here’s what I’ve been up to this Christmas Break. I’m halfway through Catching Fire, which is book 2 in the Trilogy of the Hunger Games. The first movie comes out in March, so I’m super excited to be reading this series! It’s sort of like the Twilight series ~ you can’t put it down, but at the same time ask yourself “why am I reading this crazyiness?”. I don’t read a lot due to time constraints, but when I do find the time I’m all in! I read book 1 over the Thanksgiving Break.
AND…. while I have heard of “Words with Friends” before, I didn’t sign up until Browder got to playing this past week on his new Ipod. When I was a working woman and before I had kids, I used to play Scrabble online on a website called Playsite. At some point they stopped offering Scrabble and I haven’t played since. WWF is like it, only better! You can play at your own pace and you can play as many games as you want. I currently have 15 games going. LOVE IT!! Browder & I have been playing a game since Wednesday! I also have games going with several neighbors, a few applique friends and some of my “relatives”.
Not much else to report! We listed 4 new girly cute designs today and started a sale which will last through January 10th (40% off). Valentine’s is our next “Holiday” in the applique world, followed by St. Patty’s Day and then EASTER! We have 2 new designs almost finalized and more in the works!
I hope everyone has a safe and fun New Year’s Eve! See you all in 2012!
The chairs and dresser look great! And I love the Hunger Games series as well! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Happy 2012 Rosemary! Looking forward to your blog in the coming year. Your sewing room/office is really taking shape.
