::up and running

Sorry for the extended absence here. Been battling it out with an awesome sinus infection since Christmas so everything has been put on hold. I finally got out and shopping this weekend. The sales were amazing! I've got a couple projects on the horizon so stay tuned. I'll be coming around slowly but surely. :)

1- You know how I mentioned I wanted to buy a letterpress calendar this year. Well, I decided to make my own. We'll see how this works out. I've gotten everything made, I just have to see how feasible it is to get it printed correctly. I hope Kinkos is ready!

2- Got some Adirondack chairs from my grandparents for Christmas. Oh yes, they are hand made. We're a family of DIYers, what can I say. They're just beautiful. I'm thinking about staining them a medium to dark toned wood and then going over that with a gray paint to make it look aged. Haven't fully decided.

3- Still looking for bedding for the guest room. This might become the "yah..I'll get around to it...once the kids are graduated...." situation here.

4- Want to get a new lamp for the guest room as well. I'm narrowing the search down to mercury glass lamps.

5- Finish the yellow frame project in the kitchen. I've started and it's looking very sad right now. I need to get on it. :)

6- All ceilings lights in the kitchen must go...as well as the blinds. Apparently this was a surprise to the husband. Well, I just figure if I keep talking about everything I'm going to change, the only thing he'll see is dollar signs and my vision will get lost!

7- Finish using the rub n buff in the laundry room. It honestly will take maybe 15 minutes, I just haven't gotten the urge to finish it. Maybe I should've started in this room. It would bother me alot more if it was a bathroom. Ah, live and learn.

I'll just blame however long it takes me to do these on being sick!

What about you? Do you have any projects in the near future to tackle?
