Katie's Easter Picture

So I wasn't super impressed with these pictures, but this one turned out alright. I'm not sure if it is the hair bow or the orangey brown box in the background, but most of the pictures made her look like a pumpkin (or a spray tan gone wrong.) This was the least orangey of them all.

Feelin' Crafy

I've been following alot of DIY blogs lately. While that sounds like a worthwhile use of the little bit of spare time I have (better than FARKLE, right?) it's had a very bad influence on me. I now have no fewer than a million and one projects I want to work on. This is a problem because I suffer from a severe lack of free time. By the time the girls are in bed and the dishes are done, I typically have less than a half-hour of time to myself before we go to bed.

*Sigh*

I figure since I can't actually do anything major (at least not right now) I should at least document the good ideas I've found so I don't forget.

I want to build this bookshelf
I want to build this bed
I want to make this pillow
I want to make this rug (Only in bright colors for the girls' room)
I want to refinish my dining room table. (Not linky because the design is in my head)
And of course...the kitchen.

One day at a time, right?

Happy Snappy

I'm having such a good time taking pictures here lately. But what's not to love when you have such gorgeous subjects to photograph?

A few favorites:

Framed!

I'm pretty impressed with myself. I managed to get Katie's 6 month pictures in the frame (well at least a few of them) less than a week after picking them up. It isn't hung yet, but it will be soon. It's my last detail to her newly decluttered room. Anyhow, I'm very happy with how it turned out. It certainly wasn't the custom pink matting/framing I envisioned (that was going to be way out of my price range, even with a coupon.) But for $14.99, I couldn't ask for more.
