Hello, My Name Is Connie

 

 Hello!

My name is Connie

and 

I'm a "Paint-aholic."

 

 

 There are a few things 

in this world 

that I cannot be trusted with 

or I overindulge.

 

 

 One of them is cheesecake 

and another is paint. 

Some of you may remember that 

I painted my back door this year.

 

  Well, I had leftover paint 

and I've been trying to think 

of what I could use it for. 

 

 

  

So even though I redid my bedroom 

about a year and a half ago . . .

 

 

There I was yesterday evening

at 8:00 PM

repainting the bed.

 

 

Like I had nothing else

to do, right? 

 

 

 

Butchy's dog tags . . .

he is missed :(

 

Here's a little tour

of the rest of the room.

 

 

I like to think of it

as my little English cottage

bedroom.

Here's another bedspread . . .

the first was a quilt that I made,

but this old chenille bedspread

was covering an old saddle in a garage

where a yard sale was going on.

I asked about it

and was told it wasn't for sale,

it was just keeping her saddle from getting dusty.

So, I made a offer . . .

and she found something else to 

cover her saddle :)

That was probably 15 years ago :) 

 

 

I think this new look 

is much more cheery

than the black bed. 

It'll be nice to wake up to 

and in the winter when the skies 

are gray my bedroom will be 

a bright and happy room.

 

 

Well, you can't trust an alcoholic

 

with a leftover half bottle of booze 

 

and you can't trust Connie 

 

with a leftover half quart of paint. 

 

That's just who I am.

Put God First

&

 have a lovely day.

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
