While the husband's away....

With Bobby being gone, it a is project mania, organizational disaster around here. I knew he was going to be gone at least a week, so I made a huge list of things I want to do while he is gone. Some of these things are projects I've wanted to do for a while now and some are things like dusting and vacuuming (I know I've been terrible with the deep cleaning lately, but my toilet is always clean!). I stick things like cleaning on the list so I make myself do them. I could immerse myself in projects all day and not get anything important done. I have this thing about marking things off of my lists. I love having things marked off so if it is on the list, I'll do it! If you don't believe me, check out my Pinterest. I have a board named "Made It" for all the project ideas I've completed. I also have a much bigger board named "Make It" for all the things I would like to make.
At the top of my list it looks like this:
Clean house
Take a walk everyday!
Plan Bobby's birthday! (he had a birthday while he was gone. I did a little before he left, but I just gotta surprise him with a couple more little things. Mainly, a cherry pie!)
Back some boxes

Then the project list is where is gets big! I have actually completed a couple projects on the list. Yesterday I spray painted our fan. I know Bobby will love that, but I couldn't resist after I saw it!
I'm really into blue these days. More like teal or turquoise, but it seems like all my projects or clothes turn out blueish. The other project I finally completed was this frame I saw. My inspiration came from non other then a pin. I changed it up a little, but I think that it turned out pretty darn cute. This is Bobby and my fisrt dance song at our wedding!
Even though these are only 2 of the like 15 projects I want to do, it's a start. I am planning on finishing Mr. Clayton's quilt tonight while watching The Bacherlorette. I'll post pictures when I have it complete!
A couple of weekends ago Bobby and I stopped at Hobby Lobby (that's a mouth full) and got some shadow boxes to frame some antiques we have. I was hoping to hit a sale. And much to my delight, there was a 50% off sale! It made my day! I haven't taken pictures yet (and still have one left to complete), but I will do that as well!

Now at the bottom of my list are those things like painting at the house and finishing the pantry floor that I would really love to put off, but it's on the list so it must be done!

Hope everyone has a great Monday and a good last week of June! Where does the time go?

  3. I can't wait to see Clayton's quilt! I also can't wait for you to meet Clayton. He is pretty much the coolest baby in the world (I'm not biased at all)!
