Just say NO! to Depression...

Packrat has requested to hear about my new house colors and other stuff I'm been hard at work on. I'll do one better and promise to post some pictures of my projects (although why anyone would want to see my new paint, shower curtain, or pillows totally escapes me - even though I love looking at other people's decorating. Go figure!)

Take a moment and read Packie's post on the new version of the Little Red Hen. It's a keeper!

On a very non-depressing note, hubby and I went shopping for fabric and other goodies (yes gentlemen - my husband entered the hallowed halls of the Hancock Church of Fabric and escaped unharmed but a bit dazed) on Wednesday. We managed to purchase a new lamp, two new pillows, and enough fabric to cover 10 chairs for a grand total of $122.00. The lamp was marked down from $59.95 to $14.99 and the fabric was all 50%off.

I've been thinking of myself as 100% useless but the color choice for the living room redeemed me by 5% and the shower curtain re-do by another 5%. Now I am only 90% useless (but 100% hot-darn fun!!)

from the combox:

*****"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders."
--Samuel Adams

Good quote, good beer.
