Then I came home and played catch-up for all the things I had slacked on. Laundry and cleaning were first. And then it was time to sew. Last month I offered to sew a dress for someone in our ward who will be sealed in the temple tomorrow. I got distracted sewing all the Halloween costumes, and didn't get a chance to really sew her dress until this week. I finished it up last night, and luckily all the kids were home from school today so our house could get a deep cleaning. I told the kids we could go to PicoBerry when the house was clean, and they all pitched in and did whatever I said. We're all shiny now and ready for a big party at our house tomorrow night.
I got a few projects done today that have been waiting for a while. I have long had framed portraits of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington hanging in a hallway. About a year ago I bought portraits of 6 more founding fathers to hang in the basement. I framed them all, and then they sat there because I dreaded the project of getting 6 things to hang all perfectly in a row. But today I did it, and it looks awesome.
When I was in Utah with my mom, I took my first trip to Pier 1 Imports. I never had been there before, although there is one only 4 miles from my house. I found so many treasures! I found this cute owl for my kitchen wall.
And I found this set of 3 owl prints for the wall above my piano. It's exactly what I needed.
We have lived in our house for almost 10 years and the walls are all painted beautiful colors, but I have never hung anything up. I was waiting to find just the right things, and Zachary hated shopping so I didn't get too much of a chance to go out looking for just the right things before he was in school. Maybe I will get crazy and make some curtains or throw pillows here soon.
