It’s time for Book of Lists! Still loving this little project. When it came down to it I really didn’t have all that much to put on this list! Just the basics. my phone something to read lip ointment God In the picture is Lanolin, which I use on my lips, the book I’m currently reading (The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler), and my phone. I hate the case it’s in and I’m super excited that I have a new one on the way. Each month when I get out my Instax camera to take a picture for this project I’m reminded of how much I love it. I’m thinking of doing a month-long Instax challenge sometime this year just for…

Here’s my Project Life spread for the week of April 8-14, which was the week I was home on vacation. It ended up being a fairly colorful layout which is fun. I have a lot of very neutral layouts as well but they all go together. I included an insert for our trip to the zoo because we took a lot of pictures that day and they were so cute. On the left side is the mini loom and the start of my woven wall hanging, an Instax outtake, my brother and Meredith as well as a little journaling about how we visited him on his birthday, a filler card, and photos of my cross stitch progress and my crafting…

So after a very busy April I wanted to take a step back this month in the goals area. There are only six of them, and none are too intense. I’m really excited about laying out my quilt top because I’ll get to see what the finished product will look like (sort of). Then I want to prepare it for sewing. CEU’s stands for continuing education units, and I need them to keep up my nursing license, my oncology certification, and for annual review at work. I am behind on them so this needs to get done regardless, but I thought making it a monthly goal would give me more satisfaction when I do them. I am curious about Google…

Cut all cream triangles for quilt. This is done! I’m super excited to move on to the next step! Have sewing machine repaired. It’s not repaired yet, but it is in the shop. I should know by next Tuesday if parts or further repair (other than routine cleaning) is needed. Purge & organize all of our clothes. This was one of the main things I tackled on my vacation. I even donated the clothes we don’t want instead of leaving them boxed or bagged up for months, and passed along Meredith’s outgrown clothes to my niece. Feels good. Get caught up on Project Life. I got caught up, but now I’m on the verge of being behind again, ha. If I…

This is the first area of the house that I’m calling “done.” It’s actually the only place we eat in the whole house because we don’t have a traditional dining room right now. I scoured deep into the archives of my photos to find a “before” picture for you. Here it is when we moved in: There was a lot of wood. The paneling extends to the entire living room as well. A funky light fixture. Pinkish cream paint. Cheap blinds. Here it is now: The first big project we did in our house was to have the paneling professionally painted. Back then I was obsessed with this green color. I still like it, but now I am kind of…
