Paint colors

I was asked a couple of weeks ago what color I was going to paint my walls so here is what I have been thinking about. I was going to paint the bottom of the walls a dark slate blue and the top some shade of yellow but I have been rethinking that. Now I am going to paint the whole wall with a light creamy yellow. My trim will be bare wood, I like how it ages. My ceiling will be white. Then I am going to paint sawtooth stars on the walls and in the center of them I am going to put my cow wallies that I got from my secret sister a few years ago. I am not sure what color the stars will be yet. Maybe a lime green to match the fabric that my Aunt Mary got me. It is lime green and has cows in it. I am thinking that it might end up being my curtains. Carolyn from quilt club got me some of the same fabric so I have plenty of it. Someone also asked me what color was the outside of the barn, well here is the thing I threw away the tops of the first 2 cans of paint so when I needed more I had to take the can in so they could do a match up of it and it is not exactly the same shade and I don't know what color it was to begin with. I like it better than the first paint. Sorry I couldn't help with that.

Not a update

I was going to give a update on the barn but I have nothing to report. I paid my handyman on monday and he hasn't been back since. Usually when I give him money he only stays away for 1 or 2 days. I know he helped my brother for 2 days with a garage door opener but what happened to the other days?? So the barn is just sitting there with one coat of mud on its walls and nothing else done. The 2 or 3 week job has turned into 2 months. Hope it gets done before my job ends so I can start moving in when I will have nothing else to do. Kare, are you still willing to help? I want to be in before the snow flies. Then I can be out there all nice and warm and cozy till I have to pee then I will have to run into the house [no potty out there]. Hmmmmm maybe I should be planning an addition for the future.

Quilting Barn Update

THE BARN NOW HAS POWER HOOKED UP TO IT!

Zoey, Kimmie, and of course a barn update.

Our baby girl is getting so big. She is already crawling and pulling herself up on the furniture so she can stand up. Zoey is going to be a mover, she is never still unless she is sleeping.

My secret sister wrapped my gift in a brown grocery bag this time and Kimmie claimed it for her hidding place. She hid in it for about an hour. Yes she does have blue eyes and yes she is crosseyed. She looks funny at night when her eyes are crossed and red. Sometimes at night depending on the light her eyes turn red.

This is the front wall of the barn.

This is the back wall.

This is the left side.

This is the right side. Can you believe it I have walls. He is going to start mudding it tomorrow. They are also going to hook the wire into the house tomorrow. I will have heat and lights and all of the good stuff in there. My secret sister gift was a new hot pot for my tea water and I am going to save it to use in the barn. Now all I need is a potty for after I drink all of the tea. My brother says that I already need to add on. It is getting closer to moving day.[or weeks] This is getting so exciting. Other news my next to the oldest grandson, Mike, came over tonight with a friend of his and helped me put the lid on the pool. Thanks Mike. Our plant manager called a meeting with us yesterday and told us that the new company has moved our last day forward. We now get to work untill Nov.13. Great for us we get another paycheck before they boot us out of the door. Brittany was home over the weekend. She told us all about her college. She sounds like she likes it but is having some trouble finding kids that want to do something besides party. I told her not to worry that they are out there and they will find each other. I have a care package just about ready to send her. I am putting little things in it that I know she will like.
