I've been having huge writer's block lately and I think I've lost my readers... please stick with me, guys! We've had a lot going on... and for some reason I've found that when I know the people reading my blog, I labour over every word. I guess I should have kept my blog anonymous and maybe my creative juices would flow a little more!
Tech Guy was gone for a few days and I decided to get a few projects going to surprise him. Top of my list was refinishing my dining room table and little computer desk (a cute mirror-less vanity I found at at thrift store for only $13!). So with my mother-in-law's help, we stripped and sanded and stained... and wow! The table is now a rich ebony colour and I'm so in love! I'm kinda stopped at the lacquering stage because I've never done that before and I know a bad finish can wreck a great table. I'm hoping I can take it to a local woodworking shop and get it done professionally, but that would ruin the whole economical DIY attitude, wouldn't it!? I also hung up curtain rods in our bedroom finally, we've just been using a tension rod which didn't look that great... so I'm actually pretty proud of what we all got done - I'm thinking my husband needs to leave more often!!
Sounds ambitious - I'd love to see it! I'm off to Victoria in the morning - I'll be home again on the29th.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you can get stuff like that done with 2 little boys! Plus with the Hubby gone?! Amazing- Way to go SuperMom!
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with the design of your site, I need to jazz mine up...
I love the name of your blog! Seems like doing laundry is a full time job for me. I enjoyed reading some of your post. I always get more done when my husband is out of town too. Maybe because I have less laundry to do!
