Doesn’t it feel great when you finally get a project finished? I’m enjoying that right now with the completion of our master bedroom. Last Friday I finally finished painting it the lovely butter yellow that I love. It goes so well with the cobalt blue I also have in the carpet and the Cracker Barrel plates hung on the wall beside the bed. My blinds and curtains are all hung and I fit in the spring cleaning of that room too! So, life is good! Lol! I can say that now, but I have MANY projects waiting completion before Saturday, so I can’t spend too much time here.

I’m really excited about our plans for Saturday night. Our son takes guitar lessons from the barber in town and once a month they have a jam session down there at the barber shop. He is learning a lot and getting better every day on the guitar. Well, the barber shop and the Emma Chase cafe in Cottonwood Falls is sponsoring a Spring Ball this coming Saturday. There will be a live band playing music from the 1860’s and you can dress up in any period costume you want. So, I’ve spent a couple exciting weeks getting ready for it and I still have some sewing to do. Also did some research on-line for authentic 1860’s apparel and hair. Wow! I learned a lot! Although we won’t all be authentic, especially our son and my husband, we will be pretty close. I think it will be a wonderful evening and I’m hoping everyone will dress up too. It will be fun to see all the different clothing. There will also be a caller there for the dances and someone to teach the dances. The polka, reels, waltz were a few that I recognized.

So, that’s the excitement of our upcoming week! I probably won’t be back here for a couple weeks, but I’ll be sure to update for all of those that are interested in how the Ball went.

Take care!
