Project Time...

With autumn in the air, I find myself dreaming of decorating our house and filling it with wonderful baking aromas. There are so many project ideas floating around in my brain right now.  However, due to lack of sleep, the only projects I seem to be able to complete each day are caring for my little darlings and basic house cleaning.  Very basic...  Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to complete a small project here and there to post about.  (Do laundry and clean dishes count as a project???)

Since October is just a day away, I'm already focused on getting some awesome Halloween costumes made for the kids.  (Because I will probably need the entire month and my mother's expert seamstress skills as well.)  I've got some fabulous ideas for costumes.  I can't wait to see them completed.  I hope they measure up to last years costume.

Other projects I'm currently contemplating:  

Toddler Quiet Book.  To keep my kid entertained and quiet during church.  A coloring book and crayons just isn't cutting it anymore.  I have some great ideas, but I'm not sure if I have the skills to complete them.  Maybe I can get something finished before she turns 16.

Faux Canvas Prints and Photographs.  I can't wait to see if my idea works and then to get some photos of my girls hung up.  

Dining chair Re-Do.  I inherited some awesome dining chairs from my grandparents that need some love and TLC.  I'm thinking about painting them a creamy butter yellow and finding some fabric for the seats that incorporates turquoise and red in a cool pattern.  

Cheap Kitchen Pantry Re-Do.  It's ugly, but perhaps I could make it less ugly?  It's one of those cheap particle-board ones.  I wish we had more cabinet space so that this pantry could be a thing of the past...  I also need to find a better spot for it than in our Dining Room/Entryway.
