The Last Month in Pictures
Pillowcase dress I sewed (with only a little help from friend Lisa) for Lily
Thanks to rostitchery for the great pattern and to friend Gretchen for sending me the link. I found the pillowcase (vintage, I think) at a local thrift store, without any particular project in mind, but this proved to be perfect. The only think I may change is adding some side darts that can be let out as she grows.
Other great thrift store find:
A cool little dish (I think it was originally a candle holder of some sort) that matches my bathroom colors. It's currently filled with earrings, makeup brushes, crap like that.
And speaking of my new bathroom, keep reading to seem some photos of the house-in-progress!
What the bathroom looked like when we bought the house:
What it looks like now:
The paint job in the kitchen, completed this past weekend:
We still need to install the chair rail and hang some artwork, but I really love the color. I've dreamed of red walls somewhere in my house for quite some time. We've also been working on the yard; my herb garden is coming along nicely, and though I planted them really late, it looks like we will get some tomatoes this year. Other neighborhood goings-on include the neighbors shooting a family of skunks with a pellet gun, leaving a lovely lingering odor of skunk in the air for the past week and a half straight.
Stay tuned for some truly twisted ramblings. I may be off the Zoloft, but Lily has started sleeping through the night and I've started jogging again, giving me waaaaay too much time to think.
