Jumpstart June {Week 2 Check-in}

by Lindsay Ballard on June 17, 2014 32 Comments

Today is our second Jumpstart June check-in day.  If you recall, this is a series I’m doing where I picked a project to try to finish by the end of the month.  Some of you picked projects, too.  Then, we check in each week to keep each other on track.  It’s hard to believe that we are over halfway finished with June!

Jumpstart June: Pick one project that you want to get finished this month and get it done!

This check-in method has completely kept me on task.  There have been a few times when I wanted to start something new, but I knew that if I did, I wouldn’t have much progress to report to you guys.  So, thanks for keeping me going, even though you might not know that you are.

I didn’t feel like I made a ton of progress on my Mary Blair inspired wall this week, but when I looked at the images from previous weeks, I realized that I really had.

Here’s where I started with the project:

Mary Blair inspired wall (in progress)

Here it was after one week:

And here it is today (after 2 weeks):

Two weeks seems like a long time to have only gotten this far.  But, since I’m painting each square one by one with a tiny artist’s paint brush, I’m actually thrilled with how far its come.

I can tell now that I had much grander plans for the month, and although this particular wall will be finished in June, the rest of the walls will not be.  That’s going to be closer to the end of the summer – and I’m okay with that.  Working on this has been slightly therapeutic, and there’s really no need to rush it.

Now it’s your turn!  How is your Jumpstart June project coming along?  Tell me about it!

    That wall is stunning! You are doing an amazing job!

    There is no way I’m getting my project done. Sigh. This month has just been too crazy. I’ve been swamped at work, busy every weekend, and busy most nights. I’ll be glad for July!

    The wall came out fantastically! I’d imagine this to be one of those things where if i tried it myself it wouldn’t come out looking anything like this 😛

    Great job 🙂

    I love your wall and I totally get the therapeutic aspect. A long time ago I stenciled a picket fence with pansies along my baseboards. It was really pretty and really time consuming but I couldn’t wait to get home from work, finish dinner and do a few feet of it before bedtime.

    I love the pop of red. There is only one thing I don’t like and I’m curious if you debated about it. On the third row from the bottom there are two green and gray triangle blocks. There is a tiny white line separating the two blocks. I think it would look better if it were green and the two blocks became one long block. There is no other tiny white line on the whole wall and this one just jumps out to me. I’m sorry, I probably shouldn’t have said anything but if I had worked that hard on something I would not want a tiny white line to be what people noticed.

    I’m disabled now and can’t do much but I enjoy redecorating through watching what the bloggers do. I love your playful use of color. I love that you made a striking piece of wall art out of a rug. I have a chair rail in one room that just may get this treatment under it.

    Went in there and studied that wall, it will be my winter time project. I’m pinning this so I won’t forget.

      Thanks, Margaret! You know, that line bugged me for a second, too. But without the line, the block was too long and looked unbalanced. It’s just one of those lesser of two evil things now. LOL!

      Hugs to you!

    Things i have seen in terms of pc memory is the fact that there are requirements such as SDRAM, DDR and the like, that must match the specific features of the mother board. If the computer’s motherboard is kind of current and there are no computer OS issues, replacing the storage space literally will take under 1 hour. It’s one of many easiest personal computer upgrade processes one can picture. Thanks for discussing your ideas.

    One thing I’d really like to say is that often before purchasing more laptop memory, consider the machine directly into which it can be installed. If your machine is actually running Windows XP, for instance, a memory limit is 3.25GB. The installation of in excess of this would just constitute just a waste. Make certain that one’s mother board can handle the particular upgrade volume, as well. Good blog post.

    I have seen lots of useful elements on your site about pc’s. However, I have got the view that notebook computers are still not nearly powerful sufficiently to be a good option if you frequently do jobs that require a great deal of power, for instance video editing and enhancing. But for web surfing, microsoft word processing, and many other prevalent computer functions they are just fine, provided you do not mind the screen size. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

    Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say you’ve done a fantastic job with this. In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Internet explorer. Superb Blog!

    Something else is that when searching for a good internet electronics retail outlet, look for web shops that are regularly updated, always keeping up-to-date with the hottest products, the very best deals, plus helpful information on products and services. This will make sure that you are getting through a shop which stays over the competition and gives you what you need to make educated, well-informed electronics acquisitions. Thanks for the essential tips I have really learned through your blog.

    I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
