March Updates and April Goals

Hi everyone.  I promise I did not mean to disappear for two weeks, although I have kinda been in the slums lately on what to post about.  Anyways, its time for some updates.  

Yet again, sewing has not been accomplished this month.  I did find out my problem though.  My needle had somehow become bent so I had to buy a new one and install it.  Now it is all set up, except I am still having issues actually picking up the bottom thread.  On the other hand, I did paint my kitchen island.  That only took about 5 days total!!  I am still trying to find some hardware for my drawers, but the major part is done.  I hope to post on that later this month.  I also finished my curtains for the kitchen (not sewn).  I halfway finished my vanity, and then somewhere along the way stopped for some reason.  I was also able to add more color to my wardrobe and house.  

One other thing I was able to do was clear out a lot of clothes and junk I did not want anymore.  It is amazing the amount of stuff you can accumulate in just 8 months time!!  Most of it we just gave to a thrift store, but I was able to sell some stuff to Plato's Closet.  I highly recommend it too!  $130!  Can you believe it?!?  I have another load I plan on taking this week.  My advice is to make sure to iron and neatly fold everything before you go.

Here are my goals for April:

Find hardware for Island

Finish Vanity

Figure out a crafty way to reorganize our subpar refrigerator in our townhouse. 

Continue thrifting for wall art

Continue adding color to my life

Give side table lamp a facelift

Sew, sew, sew, sew, sew

Here are some things I loved in March:

We are making this on Friday!! Yummmm

Fringe tassel garland.  I think this would be beautiful at Christmas time.

Totally inspired by this video...to make grilled cheese at least.

Do these not make you excited about summer days by the pool?

Beautiful hardware.

Decorating with doors!!  I like.
