In other news, I thought it would be fun to post some photos of projects I've been working on.
A hat with a big flower for Renie
A sock monkey blanket and hat for my new niece or nephew. I don't think my brother reads my blog, but if he does, Surprise! It'll be in the mail soon!
I painted our light wood non-descript generic barstools in fun colors that match our decor. (That one isn't pink, it's terra cotta and the other one is yellow, not cream). I also screwed the tops on so they don't spin anymore- it was noisy and the kids would spin them all the way in one direction until they came off.
I painted the stairway and we hung a Sacred Grove print there. That was a challenge. We stacked books on the stairs and then stood a ladder with one leg on the stairs and one on the stack of books on the step below. Then Lincoln held the ladder while I inserted anchors and hung the artwork. It weighs a ton (it's a good thing I've been working out) but we both felt better about Lincoln being the ladder holder than the ladder climber. I also recently installed a banister guard to keep our children from plunging to their deaths down the stairs. It's clear plastic, look closely. We had baby gates there before so it looked cluttered and busy.
I hung curtain rods and curtains in the living room and dining room. They aren't the Pottery Barn dupioni silk ones I've had my eye on, but they add some color and a finishing touch to the spaces. (Look closely again and you'll see Jesse walking into the picture)
And finally, just some pictures of our exciting trip to Lowes I mentioned in a previous post.

Wow, you have been busy! I love the hat you made for Renie and the sock monkey blanket is so cool.
The picture hanging sounds dangerous! I am glad that it worked out and no one got hurt!
And congrats to Jesse for figuring out the walking thing :)
I don't know you and i found you blog-stalking on my sister (duncans) and friends (packs)blogs while I was blog-stalking them. Anyway you must live in our region if you are making sock monkey blankets, have close access to the Dells and are wondering why in March it's still 10 degrees outside. Just thought I'd say hi.
Molly, I love Love Love the cute hat! Sooo super cute. I need to try to learn again. Shanda tried to teach me years ago but I kept getting mad at it and taking it out. I still have the yarn she gave me to practice with. You might just have inspired me. Also this cool blog is also very inspiring too. You will have to check it out. www.champagnemaker.blogspot.com
I met her at Hancock fabrics and asked her if she made her bag and she said yes, you can get her patterns on her blog too. Thought you might like it. Your home decor looks fun too! I love that photo of the sacred grove. Oh and congrats on getting back to Lowes!!! Thanks for all the pics!!Love ya girl! We miss you guys !!!!
