I thought about cleaning it up yesterday as a sort of Mother's Day gift to myself. Unfortunately, I ran out of daylight before I got to it.<br /><br />The hulk hands are hilarious. And did you paint the picture above it? I'm certain my aunt did one as a paint-by-numbers. Obviously a copy of the original.<br /><br />And lastly, good idea with the iron. I have sort of the same system.<br /><br />xo -ElElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980461113595763030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-78782799084077678412011-05-08T05:57:12.205-05:002011-05-08T05:57:12.205-05:00That Heath fabric caught my instantly in the first...That Heath fabric caught my instantly in the first photo! Too bad you can't find more! <br /><br />Your chili idea is brilliant, with 4 cats and 2 dogs (all geriatric) I can't leave anything laying around lest it get pee'd on or slept on leaving a big mass of fur. I guess you could say they keep me neat, tidy and organized!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-5183402758018976902011-05-06T23:16:21.999-05:002011-05-06T23:16:21.999-05:00ADD...yes!

There's some great projects in there. I hear your frustration on the backing for the black and white quilt. Im currently chasing a 5 year old Aunt Grace print and it appears there isnt any more left on earth...<br /><br />Thanks for the tour (and yep I love the chilli idea too!)Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032969125788408807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-15362755560593427462011-05-06T14:45:26.243-05:002011-05-06T14:45:26.243-05:00GEEZ, who can't relate, huh? take some deep b...GEEZ, who can't relate, huh? take some deep breaths...you will get there!!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095680014410577292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-46684937409857892222011-05-06T14:34:37.769-05:002011-05-06T14:34:37.769-05:00You had me chuckling from beginning to end.

From the sewing and then realizing the bobbin thread was gone(I do that all the time!), to the chili peppers on the wall helping you to remember to turn off the iron (clever).

All this fabric in semi-sewn state, in my bomb of a room, was irritating to no end. I cleaned up, hid projects, and I am a one quilt girl- at least until next week. ;) Love the chili peppers!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929308533488145608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-8398567894058300382011-05-06T14:02:33.119-05:002011-05-06T14:02:33.119-05:00LOL you made me laugh out loud.

I'm a fence sitter apparently.<br /><br />I'm really impressed by the ring necked pheasant! One of my brothers used to be big into pheasant hunting. I'm also digging that cypress knee lamp and the fact that she finished it herself. Awesome!<br /><br />Thanks for the tour! Looks a lot like my house:)Vicki @ DottyJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654184428262038009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-37255978333411894592011-05-06T07:35:40.620-05:002011-05-06T07:35:40.620-05:00Love the idea about the chili lights.

I am sure you can catch ADD as you get older .. I wish I had a sewing space. I have a sewing closet. I am longing for the day I pull everything out .. and keep it out and work on all these different things at the same time ... I think my favorite thing in your post was the chili lights. Fortunately for me, my iron turns off by itself.theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621187880594813876noreply@blogger.com
