I have started ordering items for our master bedroom. The quilt from Garnet Hill is gorgeous in real life. The photos certainly do not do it justice. I am in love with the white leaf wall plates from Pottery Barn. They remind me of the many milk glass pieces that my grandmother had. I’m not sure if they will end up in our bedroom but that is my plan. I will use the neutral Alaskan Skies paint color for now and will more than likely change the color lately. At this point we just want to get IN the house. While I truly want to be IN the house I want it to feel like a home as soon as possible too. Who wants to sit back and look at empty walls? Now if I can just get HL to understand that philosophy!! Other than searching the internet for items for the home I am now traveling to our farmhouse every other day to check on the contractors. They finally showed up on Friday to start the loft where my sewing studio and Makinlee’s playroom will be. I’m also working with my sister in law on a secret that I hope to share in a few months. It involves sewing, patterns, & a new online business. Here is a sneak peak of the new store front.

I will leave you with that my friends.  Have a great week.

I finished my Wee Wonderfuls Pointy Kitty.  I think she turned out cute despite the fact that this is my first large project that included hand blanket stitching.  I am not good with details unfortunately.  I need a lot more practice.

This brings me to the second subject of my title.  Lists. Remember my New Year’s goals post?

1.  I have one item checked off my crafting list.  Go me.

2. I have also uploaded and ordered prints of 148 photos from Qoop.  They ship internationally for a decent fee.  A lot of my friend in Okpo use local printing services for digital printing but I am not impressed.  I think the states has that one in the bag.

3. One photo album is finished.

I am very ashamed to admit the only photos that I have printed are those of Makinlee’s birth.  She is almost 4 years old.  I am behind, very behind.

3.  The diet has begun.  My body is revolting against the lack of sugar and caffeine.   I woke up this morning with one nasty cold.  The only reason I am free of fever and chills at the moment is I am in a Tylenol 3 state of bliss.  I am not sure if my exercise goal for the week is going to happen.  I DID join the gym but if the way I felt today is any indication of the way I will feel tomorrow I’m afraid I will pass on the gym.

On a more positive note, Makinlee starts school tomorrow.  Thank. god.
