Fun Projects...

Okay, so I guess we found things to do. We got creative and took on a project...or two. Michael still got in all of his hunting despite the cold weather. (Currently the temp is 27 with a wind chill of 17. Too cold in my opinion for hunting). He actually just left for the afternoon for more deer hunting, Madilynn is napping and I have some free time....

On Friday afternoon I got some inspiration to do a little project after browsing etsy.com. And after a trip to Hobby Lobby I started it on Friday night. I basically just wanted to see if I could do it..make this sign that is. Well it's done except for attaching a ribbon to hang it by, and I love it! (turned out better than I expected). Can't wait to do more!!
Then, On Saturday morning Michael brought up the idea of re-arranging the furniture in the living room - this made me happy. I had been wanting to do it, but we were waiting until Thanksgiving break when we were going to have to clear out all of the furniture for new carpeting to be installed while we are out of town. Michael was motivated to do it, so I was all in. Actually it turned out great and we were able to move the computer and office stuff to our room to see how we like it in there instead. So I guess we got a jump start on moving out all of the furniture, now we just have mostly big pieces left. Notice the dark indoor/outdoor carpet. I'll have to post pictures after the new carpet is in! Oh, can you tell Madilynn is watching Nemo one of her favorites these days - kept her quite entertained during all the moving!

Oh, and here is a cute picture we took of Madilynn last weekend. Michael did her hair it was so cute!
