Progress…

I moved the all the canning jars and the shelf. Uff da. That really was a workout. The wall behind the shelf is drywall and quite a while back I taped and spackled it – so today I hope to sand it…maybe add a coat of primer if the sanding comes out well.

So I needed a little treat after all that lifting and bending and carrying! I cut this out on my scroll saw, painted it, modge podged paper on it, stamped and embossed it, and put another clear coat of modge podge on. Ta da!

It’s a reddish/pinkish paper – still wishing for sunlight…

Anyways, I got the pattern from Victorian Quilt Designs this “love” was designed to be an appliquĂ© and is part of a block-of-the-month series. Can’t wait to see what is next!

Keep up the great work Kim. Don't wear yourself out on doing the basement, take a break now and then.

I'm proud of you...you haven't stopped on your de-cluttering resolution. Good job. And the "love" is gorgeous. You always come up with the cutest things.
