I do have good intentions!

I honestly mean to get on here and post a little more regular, but it's like the list of things just gets longer and my day gets shorter!

So many things going on or trying to get done. The upstairs is coming right along, I am ready to paint the hallway, hubby installed the new sconce so it's looking great. I cleaned out the back room, and have a wonderful sewing area. I have been sew and working on rag quilting. So far two different projects are done. Of course Dozer ate the first one! Maybe not the entire thing but the shoulder strap is bitten in 3 pieces for a small bag I made to hold my phone. When we are working on the road my phone is at my side constantly and used to research items we find. Pulling it in and out of my pocket is a PIA because it is a touch screen. So I figured a small little purse would work great! It did while it lasted!

Now I made a small purse that hold most things that I really need. It turned out great but it should have a little more structure to it. So a little larger and a lot more stiffer will be my next project. I also found the directions to make roman shades using a regular blind as it's structure, so I will give that a go and see how it looks. I need some window treatments around the house and I love roman shades not their prices.

Yesterday I got to work with Shannon on the babys room. We got the hideous kitten border down with the wonderful smell of Downy, taped all the trim, and picked out the paint colors. I will be going back on Saturday to help her paint the room. After her father in law puts up the chair rail, closet doors and some trim she will be able to unload the rest of her house of all the baby stuff and the room will be well on it's way to being ready for the new little one. She only needs a rocker and a changing table. She has everything!!!!! else. Bedding, curtains, hampers, toy box, little table an chairs. The room will be stunning when she is done!!

Todd is now in Missouri at Fort Leonard Wood, he actual training will start in a few weeks. Erin is headed down there this coming weekend with more of his goodies including his computer. Now we will be able to skype with him. The phone calls have been great since he got there and makes it much easier. I hope the two of them have a wonderful weekend!

Heather, Kirk and Xavier have been crusing the town in their new toy. I will have to get a picture of it. They were looking for a smaller car that got great gas mileage so the Durango could set in the driveway. The ended up getting a 1970 VW beatle. Xavier loves his Yellow Bug!!! Heather said he got up yesterday and looked out her bedroom window and said Hey my bug is down there! That ought to provide lots of entertainment this summer in addition to their trailer permanently at the lake!

Not quite warm enough to start the gardening yet, but spending time thinking about what I want to get accomplished and what to plant this year! With the highs only in the 40's lately I still have a couple of weeks, but I will have to start cleaning out the dead winter stuff!

I won't make any promises, but I will try to be here more regularly! Keep safe and pass the huggies around!
