SPRING STRINGS
sewn into blocks
now to re-arrange them.....
But, wait a minute! I still have these leftovers.....
too short to span these foundations...
and so.......
Remember Alice in Wonderland picking up that
bottle that said "DRINK ME!"
...and she shrank down so that she
could fit in the little doorway?
Well my strings have had their "drink"
and shrunk down so that I now have to use the next
size down foundation...
i am on the middle one now.....[the one that says "products"]
I always have extra ones in my foundations drawer that I
have cut from old phone books;
even rectangular ones...(waste not--want not:}}} )
Here is one using smaller blues....
and that is all I could eke out of the leftover blues/aquas....
I am trying to make these blocks all in one color family...
AND..............
I am now tackling the yellows.....I have quite a few of those
strips left so,
I may be able to get 2 blocks???
I am not going to sew strips
end-to-end as I have in the past...
but rather, just use them as they are...
******************************************
Here's our new carpet with almost all our furniture moved back in...
And speaking of "backs"...we are both nursing sore ones today..so
the rest will have to wait ....
I really love that soft tweedy look ..💓💕💗
[and now can you see just why I HAD to buy that jelly roll]
Here's another view from the Hallway....and
those are the two new rocking-swivel chairs...
and so today................
this is where you will find me.....;))))
hugs for a wonderful weekend,
Julierose, La blageuse (still stringing along-euse)

ReplyDeleteYour room looks gorgeous. LOL they multiply in the dark.
ReplyDeleteLOL....i thought i had that urge as well but like you it also passed....
ReplyDeleteLove your strings and your room looks fabulous with your new carpet.
ReplyDeleteBe careful moving furniture. Its not back friendly
Your new carpet and chairs look great--rest up those backs!!
ReplyDeleteYour carpet looks great! The strings are looking good. I hope both your backs feel better. Rest up!!
ReplyDeleteYour string blocks are beautiful and your new carpet is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI read your previous post about watching Jenny's videos, aren't they inspiring?
I fell in love with those baskets and the fabric!
It's best I don't have unlimited storage space.
I keep old phone books for foundations but hadn't considered making sets of papers in different sizes ready-to-go. Clever you.
ReplyDeleteThe room looks relaxing again. I can't believe you moved all the furniture yourself (except the piano as I recall.) Rest up and enjoy the space.
