Home Decor Challenged

How can I not decorate?  How can I put quilt colors and blocks together but cannot put together my house?  Is it PTSD leftover from 20 years of being a renter and being issued a military house?  I can't figure where to hang a shelf, where to put a picture, what color scheme....UGH!  The walls are not white they are pretty greens, tans, corral, greens, greens and greens.....get the drift.  Celery green, apple green, gray green, dark pea green....green green green.  

The Hubby has declared that he is not repainting a room-it will have to be done professionally.  Not quite so easy as his house in NY-fancy ceilings, hardwood floor, molding, etc.  I get it but means I either don't decorate and wait until the painting is done or buy stuff now to decorate and learn to like the green.....Sigh.  might be easier to organize the sewing area and bury my head in the fabric!!!

We are actually spending a day somewhat at home which will be a nice treat.  This evening we are headed to a Columbus Blue Jacket professional hockey game.  DH and son are WAY excited!!  Can I take my knitting into the game and not appear to bored?

Enjoy spring if you are lucky enough!

Holy Cow-I know my mom has said she misses my blog but I didn't realize it has been over a year!!  Where did it go?  I will tell you there was not a whole lot of sewing going on that is for sure!  That Red & White all over quilt is still a UFO and in progress.  I am happy to say though it is together and needs the papers torn off the back from the Gazillion 1/2 square triangles.  If I never do a 1/2 square triangle again I might just be alright!  But being my mother's daughter (with a VERY strong shopping gene) not sewing did not meant not buying fabric!!  So when I do get the room up and running I will have PLENTY of projects!

We are no longer Blogging from Central PA-we are now in Central Ohio and the sewing room changed from a great space with natural light and built in bookcases to a corner in the basement with great potential!  I am excited about the space and all it has to offer, I just need to find the time to set it up.  I get to organize from the ground up: flooring, cabinets, shelving....all of it!!

Last winter I actually was spending too much in the sewing by myself after working long hours so I taught myself how to knit and crochet so that I could at least be in the living room.  I love it!!!  I have made felted bowls, a felted purse, a cupcake hat for my cutie pie niece, a pumpkin hat for my cutie pie nephew, place mats....It is never ending!

I am hoping dusting off the blog will inspire me to get moving on the room or do something creative-I miss it and just don't know where to start.
