Almost Finished

December 29th, 2008

Thanks to a long nap from Dylan, I got all of the outdoor lights put away. I just need to box up the Santa and the little Tree, but I have to get into the tiny/scary/claustrophobia inducing storage closet to get the boxes, and I don’t want to do that at the moment.

The wreaths are down, and the ornaments are all off the downstairs tree. Now all of the decorations look so sad… I still have to put away the boy’s upstairs tree, and I think that will do it for all of the Christmas decorations, until next year.

Working on Resolutions

December 29th, 2008

It is almost another year, and that means it is time to write some New Year’s Resolutions. I’ve got a few already in mind, and I’ll be sharing my list soon. I love to write New Year’s Resolutions, but I’m not always the best at sticking to them.

What about you… Will you be writing New Year’s Resolutions for 2009?

Finally Getting Somewhere

December 28th, 2008

I’ve got a little more energy today, and I’ve been working on the messy living room this afternoon. It isn’t perfect, but it is a whole lot better than it was. I’ve still got the dining room to tidy up, and the kitchen to work on today too, but I’m taking it one room at a time.

I also started picking up some of the Christmas decorations. I’ve got one large bin packed already, and I’m going to start on the tree soon. The weather is better outside today too, so maybe I can get to those outdoor decorations too. Whew, I had better get back to the messes!

How about you? How is your holiday clean up going?

Simply Sewing

December 27th, 2008

Today the mess can wait, I’m busy playing with my new favorite toy…

James got me the coolest Christmas present this year, a brand new sewing machine! I love it love it love it! It is a Brother 60 stitch machine, that can do just about anything. I’ve been busy sewing up a storm, and having way too much fun playing with my new sewing machine.
