Sunday, March 1

a few materialistic "reasons ta smile"...

my fav sunday kicks...

breaking out the warm spring bedding...


staring at before...


and after shots of my stairs...!YAY!



we finally finished the stairs!
(took a smidgen longer than i expected it to. then again, with three kids...one can never tell...)
*
oh, i-am-smiling...
{and aside from that...sundays always bring a smile to my face}
*
*
*
ps "realigning of priorities..."
in an attempt to paint everything that needs it for the next few years
we will be painting for the next few months, just painting.
there are a few "self projects" i will be accomplishing on the side, like the magnetic chalk board i am making for the boys, and the toy i'm crafting for rhoane's first birthday, etc.
but i've put away my sewing machine (and my rusty, mediocre sewing skills)
and have realigned my priorities... so, (other than strengthening home and family)
top item on the list -painting, painting, and more painting.
and there you have it.

The stairs looks super sharp! I would imagine that would take a lot of time getting those babies sanded and painted. Hope the painting goes well.

You have special spring bedding?!? I'm sooo jealous! Hmmm, maybe I'll have to try that sometime too. Then again, it's a little hard to convince spencer to let me buy new bedding when I have a difficult time even making the bed [insert eye roll here].

The stairs turned out great, by the way!
