Speaking of exciting. Remember my nap yesterday afternoon? I of course could not go to sleep at my regular 11pm ish time. Turns out it was a good thing! Other wise I would have had to get up out of a warm cozy bed at 3am when I had to help Ryan put the cows back in. I was awake and sitting in the living room when I heard them. Walking on the porch. An hour later, I was back in bed. Tired now, and ready to sleep. I woke up at 10:30am today, just in time for Elizabeth to bring me breakfast in bed. Dutch babies with sautéed apples. woo hoo!
In any case! Favorite thing day four is.....
My New Sewing Room!!
I have a huge list of projects, and first on my list? A bag.
(a new one for me, huh?)
(a new one for me, huh?)
I've been wanting to make a bag for all those "reusable" grocery bags I've collected. I hardly get around to reusing them, and that kind of defeats the purpose. I decided that if I had a cute bag to carry them in, it would make all the difference.
The "organized mess" in my pantry.
I have this great World Food Program bag from Brook that I love, but the zipper broke, not as easy to take as it once was.
I found a pattern on the internet, and decided to give it a try.
The first one (on the right) was a little small, so I add 2" to the pattern, and made the one on the left. It's still a little small for what I wanted to use it for, but I do not have enough of this fabric to make a third, larger one.
While I figure out how to get this bag just the right size, and go to the local Quilt Shop annual sale, let's have a giveaway!
If you would like to win one of the above bags, or one "the perfect" size, OR, one of the Amy Butler "Birdie Swing Bag" seen below, or here,

hmmm....I thought I had a million things on my project list, and now my mind is blank. I will get back to you on that.
My project list huh? Maybe to actually blog once in a while on a semi regular basis. Or to visit with my favorite cousin!
well first on my project list is to paint the dining room. i have said that for three years but now i am finally going to do it! i am also going to make a "thing" to arround the dog cage so when they have babies it keeps the heat in for them. those are two of my projects!
Well the first project is moving and decorating the main floor of my new house. Then there is turning the finished basement into my Martha Stewart craft room and lastly starting and finishing all the craft projects I have bought! Pandora
My project list is rather long...
Finish our headboard, Redo the master bedroom, Update the hall bath, organize, de-clutter the entire house, talk hubby into new windows and interior doors...think that should do it for awhile. :)
We WILL re-do our upstairs bathroom and master bedroom.....we will!
