Summer is here!! I wasn't sure if I'd ever make it to this point, but I have now successfully completed my 1st year as a teacher! It wasn't easy, I'll tell ya that much, but I can't wait for many, many more years to come with the kiddos.
Now that school is out, I've found myself not exactly bored (I would NEVER complain about getting to sleep in everyday!) but I guess you could say restless. I seem to feel the need to start a million different projects to keep myself busy. I haven't really completed anything yet, but here's my "to do" list that I'm aiming to conquer:
- Find the perfect fabric to make curtains out of for our master bedroom (and FINALLY finish the hemming on the one's I've already hung in the other rooms)
- Either find a new dresser and nightstand for our bedroom (preferably an old one at a garage sale that I can redo) OR use the dresser we currently have in our living room and replace it with something really cool :) Here's what I would LOVE to have in our living room under our TV:
ahhh I love El Paso Imports :) But, I also have a budget to follow, so this might just have to wait. Hopefully I'll find something really unique that's similar to this piece that I can redo and make just as beautiful.
-Make a T-shirt quilt out of all of my college t-shirts. I've wanted to do this for SOOO long!! I've just never had the time to do it (or atleast that's been my excuse) Welp, guess what? Now I do!!
-Do some gardening. I've always enjoyed planting flowers and making the yard look pretty, but I've always picked my flower choices based on what color I like the best instead of the important things like how much sun they need, which ones grow best together, etc. So, I'm hoping to sharpen my gardening skills a bit this summer and maybe create a new flowerbed in our backyard.
I know there's more, but this is more than enough to keep me busy for a while. I'll post updates on how things are movin' along!!
