I am uber excited tonight~ it has been a great day and things have been funtastic!

It started off bright and early this morning when I woke up and....

I looked at the clock and I thought it said 7:45...

So I am rushing, getting Elizabeth up and moving, getting her dressed as fast as we can, adrenaline rushing... and then...

I stopped to breath for a second and it is...

5:45 am!

Well since we were up, dressed and ready for the day anyway

We actually snuggled up on the sofa together and went back to sleep for a while...

When my alarm actually went off at 7, kiddos and I got up, finished getting ready for the day and had a good morning kick off after our little fiasco an hour before. Got Elizabeth off to school with lots of giggles and smiles. She hadn't been out the door 10 minutes when my friend called and told me that she was bringing by some things for me.

Way cool~ a couple of things to help organize things around the house. I can use this stuff. A cup of coffee and some conversation was a great way to get the day started. We sat around and talked about kids and homes and stuff like that. I have a little envy~ she is getting her dining room and living room painted this weekend. I wish I could paint. The walls in this little apartment are so boring... and the cinder block walls make me feel like it is a jail sometimes.

Well since I can't paint, I have been busy decorating. I still have some things I want to do~ but there is great progress being made. I am excited at the changes. Soon any remnants of my old life and old decorating will be gone and the house will look like new. I have a couple of projects that I am going to get started on in the new next few weeks.

First is new cushion covers for my dining room chairs and a coordinating table cover. I am really wanting to find something in bright greens and yellows. for this. Something like this:

I am really hoping to find the perfect fabrics to do this with. I haven't decided which color to use for the chairs and which to use for the table. I just know that I want the dining area to be in this color scheme. It is something that really makes me feel good and I look forward to getting it done.

Then in the livingroom~

In an ideal world I could run down to the local furniture store and buy something like this:

But my world isn't perfect... so I need to make due with what I have. Part of my plan is to recover the sectional. Before I can recover it though, I need to buy a new sewing machine. I am on the look out for one that I can get inexpensively. As soon as I do, I will be looking for a delicious fabric. Something soft and snuggly. I am thinking that I would like to find something in a taupe chenille. Then for a punch re-cover my throw pillows with a brocade. Maybe some thing like this:

I particularly like this because there are other colors that I can bring in from the pillows for other decorating in the room. The rust and the green especially...

Anyway, it is all still to be done... I have to wait for finances to square away and to get all the things I need to make the transformation. For now I will keep plugging away as I have been getting things done little by little.

Well I better wrap this up~ I have to take care of some things before I go to bed tonight!

Dear Readers thank you for joining me and good night!
