What Have I been up to?

This week has been full of little projects. Like... going through tubs of kids clothes in the basement to sell on our Garage Sale site. making cloth napkins, and who can for get laundry!

But I think my most favorite project of all was this one.

Here's my little story to go with it.

 

I love Pottery Barn Kids Quilts, I have for years, not so much for the name. but the quality of the quilts themselves. I had been watch this adorable set for a while now for the boys room. but I could never bring myself to spend $99. each for them.

 

I just love it.!

This weekend I got to go Garage Sales in a town nearby.  And guess what I found?  This adorable Queen size quilt for only $8. I originally bought it for Jon and I's bed. but after getting it home I didn't just " Love It " like I thought that I would.

 

So guess what ???? It got a make over and a new home.  The Boys Beds!

So I Cute it up the center and rolled down the two sides and pined it.

 

And  30 min later...there you have it!!! I love it.

 I never would have thought that I would like as much as the Pottery Barn ones. but you know what I DO! It's just what we needed to and all for $8. I'm going to make them some fun pillows out of the shams that came with in the near future. :)
So I guess the Thrifty side of me came out again. I can't help but praise the Lord for a good deal, and for a fun project for our boys. They just loved it. the back side is really soft. and Aiden loves that. :)
So there's my Quilt story for ya!

What have you been up to this week? I'd love to hear form you. :)
I'll try and post tomorrow about the cloth napkins that I got finished as well.
I'm starting a new journey for our family towards being a " Paper Free" Home. and I'll post on that in the very near future.

Till me meet again, Have a blessed day!

30 Weeks!!!!

It so hard for me to believe that this weekend marks the
"30 Week " point for my pregnancy!! In just about 10 weeks we get to meet this "lil' Miracle" in my tummy!!
It's gone by so fast, I'm so thankful that he is growing healthy and strong, yesterday at the Dr. appointment his heart beat was 148 and we were measuring right on target!!
The kids are so excited to meet him, when we went by the Hospital  yesterday day Liam said " Mama, can we go get our baby now, I'm ready to see him?" I wish it was that easy to just go get him! :) and maybe someday we will be just go get a new baby from the hospital if we adopt!! We'd love to some day!
But with just 10 weeks~ish to go here are some of my goals to done before he gets here!!!

*1. Spring clean our house!!!
         ( it's in desperate need of it!)
*2. Make him a baby blanket of some sort!
*3. Finish his baby book up to a year old,  that way all I need to do it add the pictures!
*4. Buy a few more cloth diapers!!
*5. Encourage Daddy to get the boys bunk beds finished!
*6. If the weather is nice I just might have a garage sale!!

I think that's about it! I'm sure little things will come up between now and then, and I've got a few big things done already.
Here's a few things that I've got done so far!




                                                     Cloth wipes!! I love the Green and Brown!

                                                                    Nursing Smock

                 I had a cover before and always felt like my back was sticking out at church, so we'll give this one a try!


 And it's cute little matching bag to keep it in for the diaper bag!!

 I also made Lanna a " Moby Wrap" for her babies to give her at the hospital. but I can't put pictures on just yet cause they look with me on the blog all the time. but it turned out  really cute! I'll post pix. later of her with it!

Well I'm off to clean house, we have friends coming over for a game night tonight! we love having people over for fun, fellowship and food!!! :)
Blessings!
