Don't let the difficulties of the present moments overshadow the reality of God's promises. God's promises still stand. And God's promises are stronger than our failures.

Too Much?

Is it too ridiculous if you make your kitchen curtains

and your dish drainer mat and they are color coordinated?  (the colors really do match, just not on blogger!)
I mean really, what's next...matching toaster cover?  Oh...I might like that idea.  :)

Hi, you have imsomnia? LOL I think I do, but I've been posting pics on my blog. We have a new great-grandson born in Fayetteville, AR. Adorable!

Well, I match stuff. And I like all the same colors in every room in my house. Earth colors, no pastels. I especially like medium sage green, very relaxing for me.

Happy New Year!

Mmm I guess you don't really know me...everything in my home, what I wear, even my blogs always match...what on earth does that say about me...I am color coordinated? lol
looks great by the way..I love the drain mat

I'm full of good intentions! I mean, in a house as small as ours how hard can it be to be colour co-ordinated? I too like earth colours and so that's what's in our living room. Every autumn shade of brown red green and everything in between. Carte blanche there to use whatever colour I fancy!

I think it's great! Things don't match at my house, but with pink wallpaper in the dining room and kitchen, it's kind of hard to do - especially when I hang my vintage potholders in the kitchen. Next I want to make a toaster and mixer cover with a piece of fabric that I found at a garage sale that is the same as the curtains that my Mom made in 1948. It is red, but I'm going to do it anyway (when I get around to it, that is).

Love the coordinated look. I color coordinate things in my kitchen. Been thinking of making a toaster cover!

Happy (coordinated) New Year, my friend.

Uh oh.......I have a matching kitchen valance. And dish drainer mat. And a toaster cover. And a mixer cover (getting in trouble here). Ok. I'll admit to frige handle covers as well. One sister calls me co-ordinated. The other calls me anal. I must be the middle sister HAHAHA

I don't think it is ridiculous at all! I've never made a dish drainer mat before, but I have made kitchen curtains. When I got married one of my gifts was a toaster cover a church friend made for me. It was gold and green (colors of the 70s)It was a doll torso on top and her full skirt covered the toaster. I still have it somewhere.
