Hubby and the boys went a camping this weekend and mama gets to play. Well I don't know if everyone would call it play. I have been promising my eldest a room redo since our big remodel we did in Dec/Jan and the opportunity finally came so Jody took both boys so mama could go to work. They actually left Thursday night and I started it off in companionship of friends for a couple hours. Then I woke up early yesterday morning and:
*cleaned the house left from finding camping equipment
*package up some orders
*stop by post office on the way to get paint and fabric, get waylaid by garage sale and a business closing sale, decide that I am procrastinating and try to get to fabric store!
*After getting fabric, stop by used furniture store and find adorable antique desk and chair set for Silas- still procrastinating and carry forth.
*Get paint, supplies, and some more wood to finish some orders this weekend
*2:00 pm, the cleaning, sorting, detoxing begins!
*6:00 pm- dusty, and with paint on my elbows I have 2 bags of goodwill, 2 bags of recycling and 1 bag of trash and the old carpet pulled out and things off the walls, and a thrifted desk re-painted
*7:00- I order a pizza and start re-setting the bookshelf downstairs and watch the Michael Jackson tribute special- can't help remember the growing up memories of his music.
*9:30- too tired to make the curtains, I go ahead and roll out the new rug just to see how it is going to look and lay down on his floor . . .ahh day one is done, and lots of progress made!
tooo tired to make the curtains last night, so I am off to put the first coat of paint on the walls this morning and then make some wood characters for drawer pulls!
Here are a couple pictures- the new curtain fabric for both of the boys rooms and then my serious addiction to children's book- goodness I think I need to opening a neighborhood library! It took me 6 trips downstairs to get all the books there! Is there a support group out there for bookaholics!
