Gosh, it looks great. I have had to take a break from my room but it's staying like it was. I am almost there but ...Love that you mention me. I always get the blame. LOL. I wouldn't have noticed it offcentered if you hadn't of said something. Doesn't it feel good to have things back in order? I miss your sales though, you need to get to posting. Thanks fro sharing.

Nah it's under the couch, under the seat cushions - all waiting to burst out when we've stopped looking!

well, if you poked it under the couch, you did a good job! Your house is beautiful!

Thanks! The furniture was very cheap!! I have had the large cabinet for about 20 years now - the tall cabinet was given to me - (my sister had a dog that chewed it up some but my DH was able to save it!! Now she wants it back - wrong :lol: ) The small cabinet I got for 15 at an auction and the other piece is my hope chest from when I was 16 - Its 40 years old!!!

As far as my quilts - I have given them away and havent taken pictures - I will for now on. Also have two at my daughters house to be quilted - Who knows when that will be lol

The fabric is getting put into totes for my closet - see original post Will show you that if I get it done - that will be the last pic :lol:

The living room is now filled with my accuquilt purchase and all its dies - also a couple of bolts of prequilted baby quilts - hope to get soume bound so I can sell at a sale in May!! I just have to figure out where to store everything!! I am on the way but its a slow process - my sewing room is the small bedroom which is only about 10 x 13!!! I am trying to figure out how to make the best use of this space - I am having a problem though - I have my dads old desk in there which is quite large but I cant bear to let it go!!! I am searching for a good place to put it :lol:

Yeah the glassware is definitely my first love!! My DH and I used to go to auctions etc and we purchased things rather ceaply there. We arent much for going to the movies and we decided a long time ago that rather than spend money on that for a one time deal we would invest that in something we both liked!!! Believe it or not this is only about 1/3 of what we had - we sold alot of it about 5 years ago - My kids always made fun of us but when we sold our stuff they werent laughing anymore - My one daughter enjoys the glassware and some of the grandkids have placed their names on pieces they want lol The other daughter says shes just going to open the house up and sell everything when we die!!!

I have a few signed Fenton pieces and an Anniversary Fenton piece - now that the company is changing we are hoping when the economy turns around it will be worth a great deal. Dont know though I like to look at it and actually enjoy cleaning dusting it (gets done about 3 times a year is all lol)

The one wall is pictures of mom and dad and my brother who is passed. My nephew wrote a poem the night before my brother passed so its in the frame along with his pic!! the other ones contain poems that my daughter wrote!! Her and her grandpa were really close and she was there the nite he died and he remembered her for a change!! One is a poem she wrote to her sister when she graduated and received her RN status. The other one is a poem she wrote about us. I have another one that she wrote about her dad but I still need to get an appropriate picture for that. Some people have said that its too personal but I am comforted reading those poems and seeing the pics. They still make me cry on occassion!! I have a poem that I have to get down on paper for my mom. I just cant seem to get it right! Some day would love to make a quilt for my daughter her with all the poems and pictures on it!!! Want to make lap quilts for my nieces and nephews with the poem my nephew wrote but I am going to have to feel them out first - not sure what they would think about it yet!! Someday :lol:

debbieumphress 03-29-2011 08:16 AM
