I've had several days off now, which is wonderful. I feel more rested, but perversely I also feel more stressed. I always feel as if I have to make the most of my days off, and I feel guilty if I don't get much accomplished. I find myself trying to do to many things at a time. Playing games on my Ipod, surfing the 'net, decorating Lizzie's room, rearranging the living room. Oh, and that ever present laundry. Really, I should be studying, but everything else seems so much more interesting. Playing games on the Ipod is definitely a time waster, and reading blogs definitely doesn't help. The more blogs I read, the more inspired I become and the more projects I imagine myself doing. It's a crazy cycle.
We have lots of pictures, bulletin boards, and shelves still to hang. I'm trying to corral all her Webkins and cut down on a lot of little girl clutter. How is it they accumulate so much STUFF?
I bought this desk for $10 at a garage sale when we first did her room. So much pink! I've already filled the holes and it's almost ready for a coat of primer.
This is the colour we (I mean Lizzie) chose for the desk. It is a glossy turquoise that I think will absolutely pop off the white walls. I believe it will become my favourite piece of furniture ever! Isn't this colour delicious. It certainly does a lot to drive away some of the winter doldrums.
There are lots more things I want to do in her room, but I'm trying to be patient. My next bedroom project is a quilt for her bed. This will be interesting as I've never made a quilt before. I am testing out my skills on a mini-quilt.

I'm hoping to make the actual quilt with these fabrics.
Oh, my mind is really. I think I need to take a nap.

that blue is brilliant. I hope you'll be sharing pictures when it's done (if it's ok with Lizzie).
I'm sure your quilt will be amazing. I seriously have no doubt.
I am diggin' your white with blue! Very cosmopolitan scheme, I could see it in a magazine and can't wait to see it finished!
Oh! I think you need some lime in there too!
What a fun room to be for Lizzy!
Your color choices are GORGEOUS!
I love the fat quarters - beautiful! Good luck with the quilt.
And you will have to post after shots of the room. You have me motivated to decorate now!
