So I've got some projects going right now since I'm not working anymore. When our little baby girl isn't kicking my insides out I am enjoying "creating" things.
So here's my project list for the next couple of days:
1-sand and paint the dresser for the baby. It's my dresser from growing up, my Mom painted it blue at one point and that won't work. Initially I wanted to strip and stain it, but we are to close to the baby arriving so I'm on to Plan B. Which is sanding it down and painting it "ballet slipper" pink! Then after life settles down a bit I will go back to Plan A and strip and stain it.
2-make our new Christmas Stockings. They won't be "stockings" in the sense that they are not going to be shaped like socks. They will be shaped like mittens! It was something Jake and I saw at Joann's (love that store), but figured "I could make that" so I'm going to give it a shot! One for Jake (Frosty the Snowman), one for me (Frosty's lady) and one for the baby (a little snowbaby)...then in the future I can make more little snow people as we have more children :)
I am excited to complete these projects hopefully within the next week before we leave for Utah for Thanksgiving. When I get there I have a scrapbooking project with my SIL Susan. I'm SO excited!

you'll have to post pics of the finished mitten/stockings. cute idea! i really wish i had time for crafty things. i used to enjoy stuff like that. i DO have a goal, tho, to have my piano stripped and stained sometime in the spring. be careful sanding that dresser...protect your lungs and wear a mask or something.
Oh yeah! scrapping it down in the original scrapbooking town Salt Lake. I cannot wait. We already have our tickets for Twilight by the way.
