Yes, I am playing with the theme again. I found one that used WordPress sidebar widgets which is sort of neat. I will have to tinker with this one since it doesn’t show my sub-categories as well…sub-categories and i don’t like how it only does a little bit of some posts so you have to click to see the whole thing.
I am attempting to be better at posting items I have made. Here is a wallet for OWS17 at Craftster. This one went all the way to Sweden and the size was adjusted slightly from my other wallets to make sure her banknotes would fit.
…write down addresses of swap partners. Craftster is being upgraded so I can’t get the address I need to send out a shirt for a swap. 
Ah well, I shall check later.
In other news, I am sick. I slept all day yesterday then came in half day today. So stuffed up. Yick.
So, I put all my 12 Days presents back into the box that Karin sent them in and taped it up. B calls me and asks if the one I opened today had ferret treats. Umm no. Kitaro knocked over the box and got through the tape!!! Grrrrrrrr. Bad dog. So now I am waiting for Craftster to come back up and let K know and see what day that was. B is going to put the box in the garage. I do hope that the dang dog doesn’t know how to open up the door.
*sigh*
Ok so my plan so far is to get an Ikea Muddus table for a cutting table. It is a drop leaf table of sorts so I can store it in the corner when not needed then open it up and drag it to the middle of the room when I want to. The only issue with this is where to store the mat. Well, since the one I have is a little worse for wear I am thinking of replacing it with 2 18″ x 24″ mats. I can then afix one mat to each of the two table sections. So I will have a small cutting table for small projects then just expand the table to double the size. wooo!
Now to just figure out the best way to adhere the mats to the table.
So I am thinking green again. I found a good green that is a lighter version of the chair color. Problem is, when I look at it on the American Traditions site the color is very different than the paint chip I have sitting here. Hmm. I may have to just get the little sample size and paint up a few boards and see how it really looks. Very confusing.
Other than that I did some checking at Ikea for the items I want for the room. No progress yet on when the switch will happen. I have a few projects to get through first before I can get to cleaning up.
Here are two color ideas using the Behr website. The photo is one of their stock photos. The brown isn’t dead on for the floor color or armoire but eh close enough.
So here is one of the greens I picked out at the store (well picked out the paint chip card). The green is a much lighter version of the the olive on the chair. Pros: light, fairly neutral, matches chair Cons: perhaps a bit too bright i have a hard time seeing it with say and orange.
Here is another sample, this time a pale butter yellow. Pros: light, neutral, matches chair and countless other colors Cons: We have a lot of yellow in the house
I think I am leaning towards the yellow. I was all set on a green, but I dunno. I do still want to maybe do our bedroom in green so I can still have it there.
Here is my layout idea for the new room.
So far all I need are two of the narrow Billy bookcases from Ikea and one of the Vika Amon table tops. The cabinets I found in the garage and the purple table (who is pepto pink underneath the paint but that is all scrathcy now since I sanded it to paint) will be painted.
Oh and I got some paint chips for wall ideas that I will post later.
