WIP Wednesday: DYI-ing
Happy Wednesday! It's 80-plus degrees here today and the girls' last day of school is tomorrow, so it seems summer is finally upon us! And it makes me happy. : )
I had very little time for sewing this week, between a visit from my mom, dance recitals, softball games, end-of-school-year volunteering, etc. But here's a little sneak peak at a block I whipped up from Melissa Corry's lovely new book, Irish Chain Quilts: Contemporary Twists on a Classic Design. Making this block has given me a serious urge to do a full-on super scrappy Irish Chain quilt like the one on the cover of the book. I'll be on Melissa's Irish Chain blog hop next week, but the hop is already going, so head over to her blog to check it out.
And as if all of that is not enough, I'm also embarking on a "little" DIY kitchen refresh project. The first step was to take down our existing crown molding, which was super scary. I've never done anything like this and I might be in way over my head! Once I took my pry bar to that crown molding, I felt like there was no going back. But if I can do it as a total 100% newbie, you can too, so I'll be blogging about it as I go. I'll have a full post with more details in the next few days. (Don't worry, the crown molding will be reinstalled when I'm done!)
One last bit of business: I apologize for how late the WIP Wednesday posts have been recently! I usually write the post on Tuesday night, but with the last few months being so busy I got out of the habit. I hope to get back into the Tuesday night groove now that the school year is done. Thanks for bearing with me!
Okay, what are you working on? Let's see it!
