It turned out really cute.<BR/><BR/>We had the same fixture as well (Can't builders be a little more original? LOL) but we took it down and replaced it with one from our other house, if not for that fixture, I would have spray painted mine after seing Cathy's.Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439839004438821531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-54465356814615166292008-06-03T09:28:00.000-05:002008-06-03T09:28:00.000-05:00Hope you're feeling better now.

I called it dad-comes-home-from-work-mom-leaves-the-kids-with-him-so-she-can-go-to-the-book-store-alone vacation. The crazy thing was that when I would get alone all I would do was read books about kids or look for children's books for the kids!

Keep your chin up, my mom was shocked to learn that one of our (older sis, younger bro & me) favorite memories is the day she sent us out of the house and told us we couldn't come in until dinnertime- she packed us a picnic lunch at noon and made us eat outside- we didn't know she was inside crying feeling like a bad mom, because we were having tons of fun! You are fabulous. Really. Truly. Fabulous.

I love that you can have a sense of humor about this (the alternative post titles were excellent), but I do hope you'll be good to yourself and let that fourth coat of paint wait. Take one of your lovely quilts out on the lawn and enjoy a nap in the sun. Or stay in bed a little longer tomorrow morning. Something.

Extending our patio and pouring 5 yards of concrete. We (I should be clear, My husband) are finally going to building our own outdoor kitchen! I can't wait. I still need to finish the last two walls in the kitchen too, but I kinda need help to get that done so it's still waiting. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like you need to give yourself a break and do something fun like make a new quilt!Michelle Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04515636342830200897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-40721579510007937612008-05-31T01:54:00.000-05:002008-05-31T01:54:00.000-05:00Oh I know that feeling , however your kitchen is l...Oh I know that feeling , however your kitchen is looking great1Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924653077212971448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-16184678052497072202008-05-30T23:51:00.000-05:002008-05-30T23:51:00.000-05:00the red is gorgeous! can't wait to see some of you...the red is gorgeous! can't wait to see some of your finished projects!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12316517897471249873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-7424960501714175642008-05-30T22:15:00.000-05:002008-05-30T22:15:00.000-05:00Great job cutting in with the red paint!
