flower cushions and baby blankets

I have to apologize for being absent lately.  We are in the middle of renovations in two rooms so that has kept us pretty busy.

I finally finished my flower cushion so I thought I should share it with you.  I'm so happy with how it turned out that I think I might make a smaller version for the baby's room.

I also finished a little baby blanket for one of the many arrivals due this spring.  Again, I'll most likely make another for the baby's room with a little bit of yellow added.

I have lots of projects to work on for the new living room and 'parlor' so stay tuned for progress.  I hope to be painting walls next week so hopefully it won't be long before you see some of the other projects like making my couch look pretty with some thrift store fabric, some more pillows, closet home office organization and whatever else I think the rooms need.

We're getting ready to do the living room over so I thought now would be a good time to share with you some of my favorite paint colors from Benjamin Moore.
