Nope. Very little to share, I’m afraid. I have, however, lugged all of my sewing room upstairs for Addie’s old room is now my new sewing room. The bunkbeds and sharing a room seems to be sticking and the girls are still going strong on the roommate thing, so the other room is going to be a terrific place to leave my sewing all out. And it is ready…just not much crafty going on…yet.
I have been mending, fixing holes in jeans, putting in new elastic in pants, darning ballet sweaters, taking in choir robes, and trying to finish up some of those little gift card wallets. (They are coming, Aunt Laura – I promise!) And now those little things are almost done, hopefully I can start on some Christmas gifts.
I did, however, (as I might have mentioned here, or over on Facebook, or at least 20 times to different friends over the course of today) finish my Christmas cards! I’ll give you a sneak peek…I don’t think it’ll give too much away. This is one of the shots from the photo shoot over the weekend.
I love those two. They helped me make pumpkin whoopie pies to take to our neighborhood block party on Sunday.
I forgot to take a photo of the finished product! But the recipe came from over here. They were good, but with all things I seem to make, I’ll do a few things differently the next go-round.
Addie is loving the missing cabinet, as is her Mama. Now she can sit right up on the counter while helping bake.
And the light. The beautiful, beautiful light we now get.
I’m still going back and forth on the paint colors for the cabinets. I’m going to have my design posse over for coffee after Thanksgiving and hopefully have one of the old cabinet doors painted with some examples so we can make a final decision. That is our Christmas vacation project. But thanks so much for all of the paint advice and opinions!
Tomorrow I’m going to paint up the ceiling. Our gaping hole the cabinet left is filled in, spackled and sanded. It is getting there. Just ever so slowly.
Tell me are you getting some crafting on lately? Christmas gifts or house projects?
I have just done the ceiling paint thing in our kitchen too since the old light fitting (and crumbling plasterboard) were removed. It’s a job I hate….it’s so hard to get good coverage. I still look up and think ‘oh, there’s a bit I missed’! I have been sewing,/a> however!
Rats…messed up my link.
I haven’t even started thinking about Christmas yet. I have to get through Thanksgiving first. I haven’t decided how many gifts I will be making this year. That’s awesome that you have already tackled the Christmas card. I am so envious of your sewing room. I would be dangerous if I had a whole room to dedicate to all my stuff. Can’t wait to see what color you decide to paint the cabinets.
I’m so impressed that your cards are done! I haven’t even finished the things I need for thanksgiving yet…and that’s only a week away! Here’s my craftiness for the week: http://andtheducksaid.blogspot.com/2011/11/crafty-tuesday-thanksgiving-shirts.html
