Dirt Road Adventures: Welcome February
Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you donโt miss any of our adventures here at the end of our Dirt Road.

Hey Friends,
It’s been a slow week here because I’m still recovering from a nasty sinus infection. However, I’ve completed my round of antibiotics, and things are looking up.
I finally finished a few new projects and have more coming soon. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to the thrift stores this week, and I am looking for some specific things for Spring. Have you found any good deals? What are you thrifting for?
I’ve got Spring fever for sure, and I’m slowly changing over to a more spring-like feel. Did you see the coffee table accent piece I made this past week? It’s just the beginning of my Spring decor plans.
I want to update the paint color on my kitchen island, and as soon as I feel like myself again, I’ll share that process. It’s incredible what a new paint color can do to brighten your day.
After being cooped up in the house for two weeks, I’m climbing the walls and ready to get all my ideas implemented. So stay tuned.

I love quilts and appreciate all the work you find in them. That was a great post on how to display them. Then I read the declutter post which I am currently struggling with and found it very helpful. I am going to take the mindset she presented and see how that goes.
