real life.

 

This is the beast I am taming today.  Hopefully, it will be finished by the end of the day.  You know how this sort of deal goes.  Things always look worse before they look better!  

All of Nathan's bedroom furniture (this use to be his room) was taken away last night by family members who purchased it for their little guy.  And so now, I am in the process of making this room, well, mine.  

Last week we (by we, I mean Woody) cleaned the carpets, and they are just like new!  As much as I love our hardwood floors, there is just something so comfy about having carpet under foot. 

The king sized quilt was flipped last night and now quilting vertically.  It is so close to being finished I can hardly wait!  I will show you when this stage is finished.  Binding and washing is next!  Yay!  Light at the end of the tunnel!!

Here is a little sneak peek at my Shortcake quilt :

All the blocks are finished and situated in a happy little pile, waiting their turn at the sewing machine. 

And remember this guy :

The batting arrived and the backing is ready to go ... just need a little bit of time.

After my room is situated the way it needs to be and everything is organized,  then I can start working on finishing up my projects.  I have a stack of quilt tops, that will be Christmas presents, that still need to be quilted, and as they are finished, I will show you. 

I hope your week is off to a great start!  I just love being productive, and as it appears I have plenty to do!  Thank goodness all my home school grading is completed.  Whew!  Now off to organize!!
