Feeling Sluggish

I am so tired. Thade hasn’t had a nap today, and I am hoping that he will get to sleep soon. We have to go to the store early tomorrow(trying my best to beat the summer heat), so I’m trying to get some extra chores done this evening. I finished painting my woodwork on one wall, and primed the woodwork on another wall to paint tomorrow. I think I am finishing up load #7 of laundry today, but I kinda lost count. I still need to clean the kitchen, and take Dakota(the puppy) some more cool water, and then I better be done for the day.

I hope that Thade sleeps through the night, and I get a good night’s sleep too. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Get to Painting nico!

I’ve started painting the woodwork this weekend. Well so far I only have a little bit primed, but I’m really happy about it. I finally feel like I am putting myself in the house. We have so much more to do, but at least I’ve got a pretty good start.

Making a blanket for you

I have become obsessed with my new sewing machine. I am buying way too much material, sewing notions, and sitting at my machine for hours on end. It all started with a curtain for the front door, and then one for the back door, then came the curtains for Thade’s room, throw pillows(for the livingroom and my brother), curtains for the kitchen, and lastly a quilt for Thade. Oh yeah, and two dog beds too(for Dakota our new puppy). The quilt has taken the longest, almost a month of sewing now. I’ll sit down and start working, and Thade will come up and say “making blanket for you”. I will hopefully have it done soon.

We are still busy painting, and cleaning, and doing odd home improvements around the house. The house has become an ongoing project, that has no end in sight. I need to work on the yard, but it is supposed to be 101 today, so the yard will have to wait.

Thade is taking a much needed nap, we have already been to the store, and then his Grandma came by for a little visit, so he is exhausted.

I guess I should get back to the dishes that I should be doing, but then again I think it might be snack-time for me!
