When I'm pregnant I really, truly sometimes feel like I turn into a different person... Doesn't that make you feel for my poor family????:)
Actually what I'm referring to isn't negative, or at least, I don't think it is.
Let's just say that I get... motivated.
Things happen.
LOTS of things.
My brain kicks into serious overdrive.
My creative juices bubble over.
I really wish that I was like this all the time!
Projects pile up, and I can't wait to get my hands on them!
Evan's "big boy room" is in the finishing stages... That is SOOO fun for me!
The nursery is taking serious shape in my brain.
Can't wait to get that in motion too!
Ok, so an example of what happens when my brain operates like this...
I was taking a couple of trash bags full of clothes (yes, purging happens too when I'm pregnant :) ) out to the car to take to GW. Well, they didn't make it all the way out the door because the wheels started turning. As in, "Why am I getting rid of all this FABRIC????" Normally, I'm too lazy to try to come up with ideas of what to do with stuff. But in a matter of seconds I had THREE projects in mind with what I saw at the top of the pile. And as I was walking back to the bedroom to finish my cleaning, I absently stopped, because I really just thought of the coolest idea for a banner to make for Evan's room out of some old khaki's I spotted in there. Well, I turn around and my little shadow had been following me and stopped dead in his tracks right along with me and was totally just standing there staring at me like, man, my mom is weird... Ha!:) I had to laugh out loud and kiss his little cheeks:)
So the projects that just came to me were:
Curtain embellishments for the nursery out of a flowy fun skirt. Oh and the curtain itself is going to made out of a pale pink sheet that I found in the 'as is' section at Ikea for a few bucks:)
Matching pillow out of the same skirt.
Fabric flowers to add to a cardigan in my closet that really needs a boost.
Fabric banner to hang over the window in Evan's room.
I'm so excited to add those to the list, and continue to work on the pile of things that I already have going:)
The 2 "new" bedrooms, Evan's "big boy" room, and transforming the nursery to all things girly, are mostly going to be decorated with handmade items and I am having SOOOO much FUN!!!!
I'll be posting pics. If not here then on facebook, so stay tuned :)
Oh, and a major thing that I am SOOO excited about?!?!? My family is coming tonight and staying for a week! And the best part? Mom and my sisters are going to spend the whole week helping me with these projects!:) Yay for me! Hello to painting 2 bedrooms in a flash!
