Along with the excitement of the Sewing Summit, I also decided to finally get started on re-decorating my daughter's room and the living room. Not much else is getting done at the moment because of that. It's going to be a lot of work but I think the end result will be worth it. The logistics alone of getting furniture from Ikea-Atlanta to my house which is 2 hours away are slowly driving me insane. Or maybe that's the paint fumes....
row 1 and 2 - been spending a lot of time at whole foods lately. The tuesday night pizza special {super large 3 topping for $10.99!} is awesome as is the tzatziki I found. You won't win any fresh breathe awards but it is so, so good with tortilla chips.
row 3 - I did the crafty mom walk of shame when I left Target with those Toy Story Valentines. I had big plans that just never panned out. There's always next year, right? / I bought a new gadget for my camera! I've been wanting a wireless shutter release for ages and finally found one compatible with my Canon Rebel XS. Now, I had my doubts when I received the package in the mail, but so far so good!
row 4 - I am not a fan of painting but those green walls had to go. My house has these weird textured walls and they take forever to paint. Boo. I bought Olympic brand low-voc paint...yeah, it still smells really bad and gives me a headache. Big thumbs down. I will opt for a different brand should I ever paint another room.
row 5 - I'm on book 2 of the Game of Thrones series by George R. R. Martin. Good stuff...anyone else reading these? / The kiddo just started Therapeutic Listening. It requires those really huge headphones in the photo and I think she looks like a little DJ when she wears them :)
So exciting! I will be there, in the front row of your class! I really need to learn to take better pictures....
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones series are perfect! I love these serie so much. Have fun:)
ReplyDeleteI'm SO hoping to be there cheering you on!!! So exciting! :)
ReplyDeletegosh, you know, I just might have to go. I suck at committing, but maybe I can change. :) I love the crafty mom walk of shame! so funny. I did the same thing, it was a relief to just buy valentines and have it over with. Can't wait to see more of your living room and syd's room!
ReplyDeleteThat is such exciting news! I am really hoping that I can come to that and I would definitely take your class. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHere's my 2 cents...(I am not an employee or have stock in the company!) My sister told me to use Behr paint when I decided to paint my living room - she told me it "was the best." I was going a pretty dark chocolate brown and was worried about it covering. I ended up with Behr paint that has the primer already in it. The paint worked wonderfully - spread well and covered well, too. I did do 2 coats but I've always thought it was better to do 2 lighter coats than one heavy coat.
ReplyDeletewow amazing news! Congratulations!! Would absolutely LOVE to go to sewing summit! shame it's just a few thousand miles to far away! :) xo
