I used to bemoan the fact that this weather was weird. Never thought I would get used to it. Still don't think so, but I found something positive about winter weather. Once in a while, in the middle of December or January, it is warm enough to open the windows for some nice fresh air to get the stink out of the house. I love being able to open windows, having a nice breeze freshen up the house. I think I would go nuts if I couldn't open my windows at all during the winter. So, I putting this on record, "I like the Missouri winter weather"!
This Thursday, I am going to my first sewing class. We are going to be making a bag. I found some pretty material. It is black with creme floral. It reminds me of the new paper line in Close to My Heart stamping catalog. As soon as I remember to get my catalog from my sister-in-law(consultant for Close to my Heart), I may order the paper set. Absolutely to die for!
I have been wanting to change out the look in the bathroom. My mom says that I should freshen the paint in a room every 5 years as paint fades. So, I did the front room this past fall. Not that the paint was fading, just didn't have the right shade of yellow to begin with. Now it's nice warm yellow and it looks much better. I found a pretty color for the hallway. It also has the ugly original yellow from 4 years ago. Back to the topic of the bathroom. The color is purple. Nice heathery purple. I used the colors in my shower curtain as inspiration. My sister-in-law bought that curtain and some towels as a apartment warming gift when I moved into my apartment. I love the curtain. Pretty colors. I have found some fun bathroom scene pics. I think I need to update the color. I was thinking of changing it to blue and white. Found a nice curtain at Target with green, yellow and white and blue. I would accent with some nice pics and then a shelf above the toilet with cobalt blue bottles. Buuuut, ever since I saw that black with creme paper I want to make my bathroom that! I would paint the walls a creme color and there is a shower curtain at Target that would work perfectly. The only thing stopping me is that the bottom half of the walls are white beadboard/wainscoting. I don't know if the creme and white would look good together like that. Any have a thought, please let me know!
I will leave you with a pic. It's of Nate last Tuesday when he was so sick. We hadn't been to the doctor yet, but I pretty much knew it was ear infections. He is watching videos on my laptop. We don't have a tv in the front room. It's in the back room but that room is so cold. I let him curl up on the couch with all his blankets from his bed! Poor kid didn't feel well. He stayed there all morning. They only time this kids sits in one place for very long is if he is as sick as a dog!

Have a wonderful day!
