time flies

where does the time go?  when i started blogging (way back in may), my goal was to do 4 entries a week...ha! now i try to do at least 2...but lately it has been hard to get 1 done.

my mom came to help with the kids last week so i could get some work done. she always asks if there are any projects she can help with. ummm...yes please! she can sew up a storm (unlike me). so while she was here i had her hem eight panels out of burlap for our living/room dining room windows....now i just need to add the pretty stencil pattern.



and she made this cute little pillow....



 
and this cushion for our new deck bench....

 

and hemmed these ikea panels...


 
these panels are on the stair landing. we are painting this area as we speak.  i will post a better picture of the whole landing when the painting is done. it is all part of our two story foyer. we have put off  painting this area for two years b/c we knew it would be a big job. oh, and mostly because i do all of the painting and i wasn't about to to this......


seriously! i had to go in another room at some points because the whole thing was making me a nervous wreck. i do not like heights! (oh, and i hope to one day change that pendant....but for now it has to stay.)

so that is what has been going on around here....along with finishing up a laundry room re-do, new window treatments for ava's room, finishing tiling a bathroom...the list goes on. i have also been working on some fun client projects and a proposal for a possible new one.(i will post pics on these later) its been a busy couple of weeks! the kids finally start school on tuesday.....first grade!!

thanks for all of your help mom! i am already working on a new list:)
