Organizing and other things

I am on Pintrest, which I have talked about and luuuuurve, but I found this blog yesterday called "I Heart Organzing" -- it's a woman who lives in Baldwin who is a whiz at organizing. Makes me want to re-org the whole house -- and don't get me wrong, it could totally use it! :)

So, right now, I am just reading through her blog and getting ideas for now.

Also, I FINALLY started my baby sewing projects. I am thinking of taking off early on my birthday (next Wed) and coming home and just sewing. I'll post pics somewhere when I am done with them. I have to decide if I really want to or not, because I'm really low on sick time at work and I don't want to use three hours or so if I don't have to, but I don't really want to make up the time either. Too bad we don't get our birthday off at work! LOL

Of course, the reason I started them finally was because Ryan was sick on Sunday and slept for about 3 hours. Lots of free time for Mom and Dad -- Jake put in a window and I sewed. I also cleaned up Lily's room a bit. I really should blog that on the other blog, but either way, it's in writing.

The house is really starting to come together, frankly. We have new windows in the back room and a new one in the bathroom and the one at the top of the stairs. So, 6 to go and they are all at the front of house. Next year for that project. We were told we could get some decorative piano windows for the living room, so we still have to figure that out too -- I think we can probably custom order some from Home Depot. I think that I found some that I like from Andersen, we just have to make sure we can get what we want for a decent price. That will be a Christmas present from Jake's parents for us.

So, I'm starting to think about re-doing Ryan's room. Figure out something for him -- he still has the painting I did close to three years ago now. He could use something more fun, rather than his baby room. Of course, I could just wait, because I think that we are going to have them share the upstairs in the next year or so -- we have to re-do the drywall and fix some things up there first -- and then I want to plan out the room very good so they each have their own space, but they can share play space too. Lots of planning ahead!

Then, I can just paint the downstairs bedroom for us. Lots of planning for that too!

Sounds fun to me! I do like to change it up every one and a while. I'm thinking that in 2 years, we are going to find some new furniture from Ashley and sell this stuff. The hide-a-bed is nice, but we hardly use it AND I would like furniture that is better to sleep on -- this stuff is really narrow. All in due time -- first thing to do is pay off those credit cards and other debts! Just thinking ahead. It's how I roll.
