7/31/2015

I'm declaring this the LAST day of my vacation. My leisure time is over. All or nothing. Tomorrow jump starts the new and final phase of my business and family organization.

I wouldn't say I have been laying around at least not last week. I cleaned the ENTIRE upstairs like Stepford wife clean. Every drawer and closet in every room has been decluttered and scrubbed down. Frk and I have been itching to move so I rearranged all the furniture. Hopefully that will satisfy that itch.

Catalina's toddler/preschool room WAS a Sweet candy theme. Cupcakes and icecream and candy. Pink black brown. She wanted something more grown up. Dager to the heart. She is getting so big. like really big kid. (She's got my booty and legs. Ug!) She almost wears my shoes. Sigh. I made her room into a dorm like with bohemian style. I had to repurpose her favorite bedspread. She wouldn't give it up. I started sewing ruffles. Sloppy=vintage. She wanted to try and sew, so I felt it was time she could handle the large needle stabbing into fabric close to her beautiful fingers. I swallowed my fear and let her use my machine. It was like a sweat shop this summer. lol She spit out a serious pile of ruffle.

I haven't finished her room yet but she really likes it so far.

Need to paint that wall and frame that art. It's a work in progress.

I made these curtain. Like from scratch.

The kitty cat loves this. Pain in my a#%

20 chapter books ready to be read and sketch book in place. We contacted papered the desk top and the girls decorated in with sharpies. Sharpies are new privilege too.

Book corner also needs to get finished. I have a book obsession. Aren't they beautiful? So many memories there. I can't keep up with those ribbons and trophies. My dad and I made that armoire. He added shelves and I painted and changed hardware. It was my grandmas. So proud of it.
