Summer Projects :)
This summer I have been inspired to work on some craft projects. Which is a little scary, since I am not extremely crafty :). I think it has something to do with all of the incomplete projects in my life that are out of my control. When I make a craft, I can actually complete something!
The first two photos show some blue toile fabric that my mom gave me that I loved. There was just enough to make a (very simple) valance for my laundry room. The walls are white and boring. We have never painted it and since I spend so much time in that tiny room, I decided to do something small to spruce it up.
The next two pics are a baby blanket I am working on. It is so much fun! I was making it for a friend's baby, but...dear hubby wanted to learn how to use the sewing machine a bit. So, after coming home from the grocery store one night, he had sewn half of the blanket! Most of it is on the machine, but the binding I am doing by hand. Since it has been such a combined effort, I have decided to give it to our youngest! Isn't that awful? But, as soon as I finish it, I will make another to make for my friend's baby :).
Sarah at In the Midst of It has inspired me to kick up breakfast a notch or two. I am not a huge breakfast fan, but she gave some great ideas on her blog. Thanks, Sarah! The last picture is actually of some banana nut muffins (that I added chocolate chips to). I did not get this recipe from Sarah, but she was the inspiration behind the muffins-ha!ha!
So, in between diaper changes, sibling conflict management, next year's lesson planning, and home organizing, this is what I have been doing!
I am not sure when I will post again. Hopefully, I will not wait another two months :).
Happy Summer!

And I'm glad I "inspired" you to beef up breakfast--it's still a labor of love for me, but I'm hoping it turns into a habit soon!!
