Projects

For all of you that don't know we bought the townhouse that we have been renting. We learned the long process of how to buy a home. During the process all I wanted to do is start making it mine, by painting and new carpet, but until it was final we couldn't get started. I tried to keep myself busy on other projects that I could do.

Door hanger for my grandma that I quilted.


I recovered our pillows:

I painted the table white and recovered the seats:


Of course I put plastic on it. One of the pleasures of having kids.


Curt and I modge podge the picture of the temple.


Also the seller picked up the tab on some of the things that they needed to fix in the home. One of the main things was the sliding door and deck.

This is a before picture:


And after:I am actually excited by our townhouse. I can finally do what I want to our house. We aren't making too many changes but it will make me very busy this winter.

Happy for you guys that you bought a house but sad because that means you probably aren't coming back for awhile :( ... LOVE all the crafts, which again makes me sad we can't craft together :)
