Spring Make Over

Every Saturday this month, the local Ace Hardware has been giving away free quarts of paint. I was not able to get in there the first two Saturdays, but I was this week. I figured I could repaint the bottom portion of my craft room walls with a quart. So, I pulled out my trusty DMC boxes & picked the floss that closest matched the matting on a picture I have hung in there. The color is also in the border at the top of the walls.
So, off to Ace I went on Sat. morning!!! I got my free quart of paint! I had other things that had to be done on Sat., but by evening, I had everything out of  the room or pushed to the center.
After church yesterday, I fixed lunch & then it was time to paint!!!!! I got real worried after the first coat.....I could see the old color showing thru in a lot of places & I didn't have a lot of paint left. I thought sure my "free" makeover was going to end up costing me some money....but, thankfully, there was JUST ENOUGH.....I have a tiny bit left in the can, to do touch up spots!!
I am real pleased with the new look. The white furniture just pops against the color.
I didn't get a lot of stitching done between doing that & the gorgeous weather we have been having. We took a walk on Friday night....hubby needed to start slow, so we didn't do our whole road. (that would be just over 2 miles round trip) Sat. night, we walked again & did the whole road....yeah, over 2 miles! Then, last night, we went to a local walking trail. It is 4 miles!!!!!! That is wonderful for a Sunday...I don't usually get much Sunday exercise!
