Happy Monday! Did you have a great weekend? I hope it was happy and productive! This is the place to share the progress you made over the weekend. I’m looking forward to reading your update! Here’s mine.
Play List:
- Boot Camp. Check!
To Finish:
- Laundry. Check!
- Kitchen project. Much progress was made. Jay took the shelves out of the pantry, I cleaned them thoroughly and painted inside the pantry, Jay reinstalled the shelves, and we put everything back in. It’s looking better…but not quite done. 🙂
- Sew kitchen curtains. Well…I haven’t sewn them yet, but do have them cut out. (Which is huge progress, really.) For me, cutting, is the most intimidating step of any sewing project! So I’m glad to have that part done. I’ll keep you posted on my progress.
So this weekend was more about making progress than it was about finishing, but I’m okay with that. Progress is progress, and progress is good.
I can’t wait to hear how your weekend went! Thanks so much for joining me this week. See you back here this Friday for another round of Finish It Friday.
I didn’t get a chance to post my list so here is what we actually did do:
* visit my family
* buy fittings for making a new larder cupboard
* have in laws to lunch
* laundry ~ it is never ending now
* get floors ready for carpet fitting
* decide on name for baby ~ yay at last
we failed to
* actually fit out the new larder
* make an appointment to register the name, so now I have to drop in and wait
carpet fitters now busy fitting and I cannot wait till they leave as I will have two rooms back in use and the stairs. getting ready with plans in my head on what furniture to put where and thinking of having my group of new mum friends visit for coffee with their little ones as a way to celebrate and set a deadline.
PLAY:
1. Watch the football game with our friends. Friends had to cancel but Husband and I had a nice lunch and coffee date instead. Tigers won!
2. Date Night/Movie Night In. Check!
3. Family time at the park. Check!
FINISH:
1. Veneer light feature. I’m almost done with this one. The glue is still drying!
2. Recover dining room chairs. No check. I may have changed my mind on the fabric choice so I had to hold off.
3. Finish sunset art. Almost check.
4. Fix t-shirt pillow. Check!
5. Patch holes in office. No check.
6. Get oil change. Check!
