I finished my free found objects craft this morning. First, and most importantly, I found a lid for my coffee. No drinking sawdust for me!
Then I took those little square pegs and drilled some holes in them. Angled holes at the angled end, and straight in at the flat end.
I started a new project on Sunday. Because what I need is a new project. I should be able to finish it tomorrow. In my defense, it is a project that will make an existing project easier.
I started by collecting all the supplies I thought I would need. All stuff found in my garage. OK, the deck posts were laying in the pile of deck wood outside my garage, but the rest was in there.
The other day the girls and I spent $3.00 at the grocery store on a pack of Halloween cut outs. We then put them in the front windows and on the front door.
Now every time we come home Vada says “Hi, Spooky House.” It’s kinda adorable!
So why is it that P words work so nicely in place of other…um…colorful…words?
I went to Home Depot, and bought the shut off valve I wanted for the basement. I was all ready for  quick, easy job. I collected all the things I needed, shut off the water, and grabbed the cutter from the bucket of plumbing tools I had. Or so I thought I would. Maybe I should have checked to make sure it really was there before I went to the store. Uggg! I looked all over the back room of the basement, and the garage. No pipe cutter.
Yup, chaos. Kind of explains a lot going on right now. I seem to have a decent routine on school mornings up unit I get home from taking the girls to school. Then it’s just a bit, well, chaotic. I’m working on getting into a routine during the school days. It seems like there is just more to do then time in the day. Market some days, laundry others, cleaning (always cleaning), organizing all the stuff in the basement, garage, spare room (which will one day be Kyla’s room), working on my designs/patterns, and, of course, spending time with you, my blogland friends. I know I can.
Thought I would share a few firsts with you.
I took a few snaps of the first day of school, but I took them on my phone, and keep having issues posting them. The phone finally decided to play nice, so here they are.
Here we go. Off to school.
So I wanted a fun snack bag for the girls to use in kindergarten. It seemed like a good excuse to make a new pattern. The snack bag came out adorable, and I felt the need to share it for free with all of blogland! So here you go, my friends.
I know this is a bit more then I usually share with you, and I don’t even know if I will publish this post.
Pure. Terror.
That is what I feel right now. I feel it about Doug’s job. I feel it about our finances. I feel it about our house. I feel it about everything on my to do list. I feel it about my parenting skills. Most of all, I feel it about what may happen after the next election, and I have never felt this way about politics before.
We all know the saying. Well this is my thousand word picture.
Housework and home repair. That is what my life is right now.
Anyway, here are some snaps of the girls that have piled up over the last month or two.
