Not a lot of space to write...

So everyone is getting into menu planning right now, and, for once, I am ahead of the curve. I have been planning our menus for years. As I'm sure all of you know, it makes it so much simpler to do your grocery shopping and to keep track of your inventory. I am taking, and joining the rest of you, it one step further to actually plan out what meals are on what days. Before I would list all of our planned meals on a notepad that was attached to our fridge, and then we could just pick and choose what we felt like making and mark it off after it was made. Very high tech.

I have been sewing up a storm this week, and today was no different. I am attempting to get ahead of my workload for the bedroom makeover, which probably would have been a better plan had I started earlier. Oh well, but at least this gives me a good segway. Enter two new pillows. This time they are braided and gathered. :)  I had some 14" pillow forms lying around. Now they are sitting pretty on my bed.

The instructions are the same as the original braided pillow, but the measurements are different as the pillow is 2" smaller than the original pattern. This is also going to make 2 pillows instead of 1. So on to the show!

So I have an announcement! I'm very excited! Ok, so that's not unusual for me, but what I am excited about is the fact that Saturday, the hubby and I are starting our bedroom revamp! So Ex.Ci.Ted! Can you tell? I don't think that I've used nearly enough exclamation points. :-P

So I'm not going to divulge much about the revamp....I'll wait to do that. I've been trying to post something every day, but this weekend I'm not going to be able to do that, because we have A LOT to do. I'm dropping the kids off at my grandmother's Friday morning and then picking them up Monday. We have 2 full days to get the room painted, and then mostly put together. I have furniture to paint, but I highly doubt I'll be able to get it painted this weekend.

So this week, I've been trying to get some old projects finished up and moved out of my work space. :) I was trying to do that this morning, when a piece of glass maliciously attacked me. Then my ever-so-helpful-but-squeamish husband was very little help when I asked him to clean up said glass after it decided that I did not need the small chunk of thumb it wanted. Not to get too graphic, but it was making a statement about my thumb. I dropped the glass (how it didn't break I'll never know), then quickly got to the sink to get cold water running over my thumb. Of course, during my dash to the sink, Harrison decided right then he wanted a nap. Now. So I'm bleeding all over and the baby wants to be put to bed. Steve puts him to bed, then comes back down to help me get my thumb wrapped. 45 minutes later I'm back working on the project, where I accidentally break the glass. It really was an accident!
