DIY friends, do you ever find yourself overwelmed. Maybe you took too many items on at once. Maybe you need toilet paper rolls or corks for a cool project and you don't know where to store them or how many you will need/how long it will take you to collect your trash until it becomes treasure?
I am blessed with getting every other friday off, but I work 9 hr days to make up for it. It is worth it, don't get me wrong, but my friday is usually spent consepulizing projects. Here is what today holds:
Project Priority #1:
I spent the afternoon with a pregnant friend on bedrest, her shower is tomorrow. She had planned on getting that room finished around 7 months... SURPRISE!! I am also stumped on what to get make her for her shower. (She is not finding out the sex of the baby, this makes it difficult as the child is nameless.)
I decided to refer to ana-white.com. I am going to make her the changing table, but I am going to make it to the dimensions of her dresser. Which is not at her house to get measurements. Instead this dresser is at her mom's house, and no one will be home until 6:30. AWESOME.
Did I mention I want to have it mostly assembled by tomorrow, for her shower, at noon. I am officially crazy, and might not get a lot of sleep. I am not painting/staining it. That will be left up to the future grandpa who is also staining the dresser.
Project Priority #2:
A toy box for my mother-in-law. My nephew is now 2 and the toys are taking over. I think she is ready for some order to her living room.
Project #3: No priority just what I want.
A wall hanging. Similar to this:
So I have that overwhelming feeling going into lowes and stealing, borrowing, using all their paint chips. Since I was all over town today, I stopped into 2 different Lowes and got about a 3/8" stack of paint chips at both. Workers their probably think I'm indecisive, crazy, and I am painting all walls in my house? Or they think I am addicted to Pinterest and I am stealing, borrowing, using all their paint chips like everyone else.
While at the home improvement store, I purchased a quart of oops bin paint which I thought was bright magenta, (perfect for the base of the wall hanging above) NOPE, I open the container, paint brush in hand, and staring back at me is green screen green. AWESOME. I try my best to break out of everything being blue grey and green, and even the paint knows better.

I apologize for any misspellings and terrible grammar. I am heading to dinner and Brent has not proof read.
