MY MUSE IS MISSING!!

I am so stressed out trying to do anything in the Bellingham or the HBS contest. I don't know why. I have never been this indesisive about working on the houses that I have done before. I think that part of it is that I am trying to hard to make things too real. I think with the contest house I need to just work on another part of it and stop trying to figure out the furniture placement....I don't even have the rest of it done yet. I have most of the logs on the outside. Just need to finish the front side yet. Maybe once I get the second floor installed things will come together better. I am just jumping the gun for some reason. Over thinking the build. I promised myself that I wouldn't stress out over this contest, but for some reason I am having trouble with this.

The Bellingham is an ongoing project. I have alot of the rooms "done". I think Aunt Gertie is ready to put on a construction hat herself! It's funny as I don't have alot to do on the inside yet, but the second floor hallway floor is still undecided on. It is like I have writer's block, but more like builder's block.
Anyone else get this way? What do you do?

More rain today! The creeks and rivers are really getting full. But all the gardens look great. The cucumber are looking the best this year then the last fre years. If even half of the blossoms turn into cukes we will be giving everyone some. Actually the whole garden is doing great. This rain has been great for the daylilies. They are just huge this year and still have alot of buds on them. We will have to get out there and stake up some of the other plants as the wet ground has made some of the tallest ones fall over. Especially some of the daiseys and queen of the prairie. I can tell some will have to be seperated next year as the middles are starting to die out. But it is so great to see so much color. I'll have to download some of the pictures I took today between rains.
I am in Heaven. I found a sub sandwich bun that has only 28 carbs! It will be great to have a different kind of bread for my sandwich at work tomorrow. Plus I can actually eat some fruit or pudding with it! Life as a diabetic! Little things can make me so happy! LOL!
Well guess that is it for my day. Teresa

Finally! My muse is back!

I actually got some energy and painted the staircase. I still want to do another coat and stain the stair treads. I think I will like the white paint and brown stain together. I already have a stair runner, if I decide that I want it in this house. Otherwise I will keep it and the matching rug for a future project. I also carpeted one more room. I will probably put a rug on top of part of it to lighten the room up. I love the room, but it is a little dark. My favorite color...green. I will decide once I check to see what I have here or once I start putting accessories in. Maybe even lighter colored furniture. I love to play around until I get the look I am going after. Sometimes it goes in a whole new direction though. I just turned the bed and I think that if I make a colorful bedspread or patchwork quilt that might just bring in the extra color that I want. Also window treatments to go with the bedspread/quilt. I think I was just stuck for awhile and finally something clicked and I am back on track now.Now I am anxious to see what I can do with the room. The green matches the pattern in the wallpaper and also the wallpaper in the hallway. It is nice to see it all blend together. YEAH!!!!

I was at Walmart today looking at material as I would like to make some new curtains for my RL kitchen. I made the ones I have in there a few years ago and am getting tired of the whole chicken theme. But as usual I can't decide on what I want to do next. But I know I will see a piece of material that will just jump out at me. That is the way it usually happens. I will check JoAnn's also. I love material. Got that from my mom. She has been sewing since she was small. Her and 2 of my sister's do craft shows. Out of 5 of us girls only 2 haven't followed in mom's footsteps. Not that I am as good at it as they are. I like to sew things, but they LOVE it. It does come in handy though. Now to find that elusive piece of material! I think half the fun is in the looking for it.
Time to get off my butt and get some shut-eye. Mini hugs, Teresa
