currently || home + sewing
i thought i would poke in, and let you know what's currently going on in my life.
. . . . on the home front
happy mail day! it's amazing how this box will turn into something awesome like that photo on the right. but it's true my friends, and i am stoked.
i finally got owen a bed! i'm still
thinking about paint colors.
and yes, it tested positive for lead. boo! i took it by a sandblaster who quoted me a minimum of $300 to take it off. another boo. fortunately, there is the internet and good quality air control masks you canwear, so i might be tackling this job myself away from the home of course. if you have pointers, i would love to hear your thoughts. (you can purchase Lead Check at Lowe's Home Improvement)
matt and i celebrated our 6 year anniversary last weekend, and owen crashed the party.
a project that from here on out that will be referred to as: Project "TIMESUCKBUTTRULYGRATEFULFORTHISTIMESUCK."
so, that's not really me, but i swear i feel like i am swimming in a sea of papers right now.
there are also some other time sucks going on around here at the house.
via reel foto via Jill Greenbergokay, that's not my son either, but this captures the true essence of motherhood and what I experience on a daily basis.
via buckets and bows okay, this is not my real laundry, but that's a real time suck.
via my real life
okay, this is a real photo of my sink.
Young House Love did it again by sharing the love. thank you for the
wonderful feature! (you can see the
room reveal here.) (source list
here.)
. . . . . in the sewing room
i shared this fabric pull on instagram (
you can follow me here i am private but just request to follow and i'll accept.). i turned it into pluses, which will never get old for me.
a modern cat block i made. actually, i made about 25 of these. i don't even own cats, but i know many quilters do. i'm thinking about sharing the tutorial for this super easy block, if there's any interest.
art gallery fabrics sent over
minimalista and a few
pure elements for me to play with. (thank you AGF) i'll be working on this for the next few weeks.
and if you are interested in joining a modern bee, my good friend Danny, from
Mommy For Reals, has some openings for her
Stash Bee. so check it out! she's awesome, and you will love her. you can get
all the information here.
so what has been sucking up your time lately? are you preparing for the holidays?
have a great weekend!
