Busy Busy Busy

I'm having this problem staying on top of things. Kids. Cleaning. ...okay that's all I can think of right now. But my daily list of things involving these two is no kidding a mile long everyday!!  And I swear it's the same things EVERYDAY! So...I threw the towel in! I gave in and went to JoAnn's fabric with my good buddy Makala! 

I'm not sure what I was thinking!! I now have about 10 sewing projects to finish ASAP!! <because that's how my brain works...I want them done NOW!> and guess what time it is?!? Canning season!!    Peaches are on the cupboard getting ripe. Cucumbers are fattening up. Green Beans are starting to show up! And its the tail end of the summer! I'm sad to send my babies to school this fall!! I want to enjoy every minute I can with them...not engross myself in the gazillion projects rolling around in my mind!!!

It all started with Madilyn's dress for the 4th of July!

Then I made a skirt for myself! 

I have enough left over fabric I think I can make a matching one for Madilyn!!

Then, the whole reason for the shopping trip was to make this quilt to hang in the living room. I need a little more practice picking out the fabric. I cut out and layed out a half a dozen (or more) options...and I still don't like it! I hope it will look better when it's ready to hang on the wall!!

Madilyn picked out some fat quarters so we're making her another dress and skirt...

Landon felt left out so I let him pick some fabric and we covered some toy boxes!! 

I finally added my embellishments to my kitchen canvas! (I want to change up the other 3 now!!)

I finally have some ideas flowing to decorate the basement...we'll start off with curtains. 

And Ron finally gave me the excuse I needed to break down and get my owl bathroom set. We (he and Dustin) replaced the shower downstairs. He bought a cheap one from the lumber store!! Didn't even know what it looked like till we got it out of the box. Talk about cheesy!! It doesn't even have a door!! So now I get to do my favorite thing!! Be a homemaker and make it look all better!! ...but he gets to do the new sheet rock!!

 

My goal is it finish it ALL and squeeze in Canning, back to school, yearly pictures...but right now it's time to sort the laundry so I can get a head start on tomorrow!!
