Friday Finishes

 Hello friends.

Well I am in Fall mode now.

Been stitching up and finishing some

Fall patterns...with some I started last year

and did not finish until now.

First is Hello Fall.

Instead of black and gray, I chose two

different colors of brown.

Made it into a pillow to display.

The next one I chose to stitch comes from

the Winds of Autumn Book by Blackbird Designs.

This pattern is called Autumn Sound.

I did not have all of the fancy floss for this,

therefore some of the colors were done in DMC

which was called for as well.

I changed the letter "B" to my initial of "J"

Made this sweet little design into another pillow.

Finally I finished Butternut Tavern.

This design was by Stacy Nash. 

This one I chose to frame.

A perfect one in my opinion.

The triangles in the frame mimic the ones

in the pattern somewhat.

Am looking forward to adding this

piece into my Autumn decor.

Have you started decorating for Fall now?

In other news,

my brother is changing up

 mom's house big time.

Not sure if I told you all he is purchasing

mom's house now.

Before mom's passing, the plan was for him

 to move in  because we were unable

to rent or sell it.

Otherwise mom would have lost her  

veterans benefit to stay in her studio apartment.

Well now he is going to purchase the house.

He already painted the bedrooms.

Mom's bedroom went from blue to tan.

Bedroom 1 went from off white to a rosy tan.

Bedroom 2 went from pink to blue.

He also did a drop down molding, so that

the ceiling color of off white comes 

down about 5 inches.

Pretty cool idea I thought.

He also painted the garage. 

My dad never had the garage painted,

which we all thought was odd.

He has to redo the master bath because

mold was found everywhere.

He ordered an island from the Amish for

the kitchen.

He also ordered from the Amish

wood cubbies in the mud room.

Am pretty sure mom would not like

any of these changes...

but this is his choice now. 

He will also be removing all of

 the wall to wall carpeting which was

original to the house being built

in 1991 to wood floor.

Well thats all I have for now.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

I will be decorating and stitching.

Friday Blessings To All!
