Another week! yesss, anoooother post.

IT'S MY DAY OFF!!


Sorry.  I am exhausted after this weekend of working!  Saturday I worked 9 hours, and Sunday I worked 7, but had to close by myself, which just makes it feel like 2 hours was added on because of all the extra work!  Friday night was the winter auction at church, and I washed dishes for TWO hours straight.  They just kept coming, and I was wearing my leather boots and they are not made for standing in one place for long periods of time, haha.  I have today off, and then work the next 4 days (but luckily, they are all 5 hour days!).  I have so much I want to do today, but I am happy that I've just been able to sit around in my PJ's, play with Shea, and relax this morning instead of running around like a crazy woman cleaning.  Shea asked for Oatmeal today, so I thought, "Oh, good, I'm going to start with a healthy breakfast and then maybe we'll go for a walk!"  Well, I did eat some breakfast.  But I just finished a homemade latte and a small nanaimo bar as well...and there has been no walk yet. hehee.  OH WELL.  I guess I have to put that on my "diet diary" for my midwife though.


Just thought I'd share a few things I did on my LAST day off, because I took pictures.


I finally dealt with our ugly curtains in our living room!  I had to kind of switch around some curtains from other rooms to get enough, but thats ok, because these will probably stay in the living room long term, where as the other rooms will get new ones (and they aren't as necessary in the other rooms).  I made this white sheer curtain in the middle from an old swag (I think thats what its called...it was just a long sheer piece of fabric that normally wraps around the curtain rod to make a valance of sorts).  I cut it down the middle, and then sewed two pieces together for each side of it.  I love the look.  The other windows just have the brown curtains, but I hope to get more white curtains.  Because I love having light come in, but I HATE looking at our neighbor's house through our windows.  The old gross blinds were super moldy and I had to scrub out the windows too.  Gross.

I also went to Goodwill with Shea and SCORED big time.  I figured at least Candice would appreciate my finds. :)  I got these two red throw pillows for $2 each!  I love them and they have brown accents on them which match the curtains and my brown pillow.  I think I know have my color scheme for this room when we finally (hopefully) paint in here!  They cleaned up nice, too!

I also picked this up for Shea for $1.29.  These go for like $25-$30 new.  Isn't that ridiculous?  There were like 5 brand new ones there and he LOVES it.  It even makes noises (oh joy...) 

And I got tons of clothes for Shea.  He has really needed pants/new long sleeve shirts because he's been growing like crazy.  3 pairs of pants (nice brands), jacket, 3 shirts, shoes, a sweater, and a shirt for me all for like $20

I love good Goodwill trips :)

AND my sewing labels came!  I ordered custom fabric and just have to cut them up and sew them into little labels.  They turned out so cute (hard to see here).  Can't wait to add them to the clothing I've made for my shop and finally put some items up - this is pretty much all I've been waiting for.

And of course, last Thursday I took my belly pic.  I think it shrunk a little this week?  Who knows.  Maybe I've been eating less.  Hard to tell what is baby and what is me!  I need to start doing something other than looking down in all of these pictures, too. ha...I hate taking pictures like these of myself, I feel so awkward.  But I don't have any weekly ones from my first pregnancy, so hopefully it will be fun to have when I'm done.
