CHELL-O, BARGEL-O!

I really did think that yesterday was going to be a housecleaning day.  (I mean, come on, I bought the equipment and all....you would think I would have used it!)

I did this instead:

When last we left our heroine, she was contemplating using her first attempt at the Bargello Challenge as an automobile floor mat.  I liked my design concept well enough...but those colors!  Oey!

So I gently and lovingly removed v1.0 from the stretcher bars, fished around in my stash a bit, and...voila!  Version 2.0.

You really can't tell from my craptastic photo, but the colors are hot hot pink and deep rich orange...two colors that I normally wouldn't have thought of as in my wheelhouse.  But there's something about this combination that is just really blowing my skirt up, so I'm going to stick with it and enjoy the ride.

The weekend turned out to be quite spinster blissful, actually.  I did all of the things that make me happy.  I slept, I read, I cooked, I stitched, I kissed my boys on their little wet noses, and I blogged.  What the heck else could I possibly have asked for?!

    I like the color choice; I call them hot colors, fun in the sun colors.

    Nice colors. I would rather stitch than clean too. It is always nice to be able to indulge in things we find fun and relaxing. Glad you enjoyed your weekend.

    I find the thought of housework is really good motivation to get my needle flying :) Looks very nice!

    As my Mama used say, "There will be houses to clean when we're all dead and gone. Let's have fun!"
