Aging, Painting and Favorite Things

 Actually thought to take a picture of the before and after, the second picture is the before, didn't age this one as much, funny that I'm finding these old quilts I made years back.  To think I actually stitched HST's, and the triangles don't look that bad.  Must have been too much since I only applique them now. Have no idea where the pattern came from or why I made it.  Obviously it was one that was one of those, okay, made it, don't really like it, put it away or use it to cover up something.  Now it's on the ceiling, adding color to a room. Easier than painting.

 Have one more "Egg" quilt to age to finish off the ceiling in the room.  Will probably do that tomorrow.  Don't need to get on a ladder for awhile.

 I finally, finally finished the trim on the outside of the house on the lower level.   That's why my body is screaming, stay off a ladder.  Anyway, actually found this little woodpecker at a garage sale on Saturday,  how perfect for the back door.  It's a door knocker.  I asked the lady what is this, it's a woodpecker, gave her my look, what does the woodpecker do, and then she showed me and we both laughed, too cute.

Some of my favorite things, and not expensive things either, the driftwood piece from Galveston, an elk head with a full set of antlers that Jim found as a winter kill, meaning it died naturally, I could tell that story of him carrying it home on his back on one of his beloved hikes, more antlers just laying around and little Bailey, watching me as usual thru the screen.
