Weekend Projects

The last few weekends, I've worked here and there on several projects. I still have a HUGE list of things I'd like to have done before Baby arrives, but most of them aren't very important anymore. The last major hurdle we have is moving the computer stuff out of the baby's room, packing up a bunch of "office" stuff and then arranging the room. Then I get to make curtains! I think we'll be able to tackle this pretty well on Saturday.

Here's some of what I've worked on:

TAXES!!! How I hate them! And, how good it feels to be finished!

Cleaning, the never ending chore... strangely, my nesting instincts have kicked in and cleaning feels so satisfying... weird!

Sewing... this blouse I started way back in August and just finally finished... several baby-related things, too. I've really enjoyed sewing lately, but have a hard time squeezing it in. I'm looking forward to some time next weekend to work on curtains for Baby's room.

An ark... yes, it is made out of popsicle sticks. Thank you Aliesje, for helping me start this. A Noah's Ark themed room just wouldn't be the same without an ark! I have yet to figure out how to hang it or what to use for water around it, but I have some ideas. I'll post more pictures when Baby's room is more assembled and this is hung.

Painting. This used to be bright blue. The red was difficult and really didn't want to cover well, so it took copious amounts of coats. Thankfully, it is now finished and we have our kitchen table back. :)

Baking. Easter just wouldn't be the same without it! We ended up with yummy lemon bars and chocolate chunk cookies. Unfortunately, our small group had very small appetites last night, so we each took a bunch of goodies to work this morning. The faculty in the art department are definitely appreciative, but it also means I've eaten a few too many cookies myself this morning. :)
