I can't believe that it's February.
I figured I'll state my monthly big to-do's to ensure some accountability - and for some of these, lets just be honest, I need all the motivation I can get.
However, January was a doozy. Being sick for 3 weeks didn't help. This didn't help either:
Yep - our basement flooded. Neighbour's pipe burst. They live in a different state. Great fun. Not that I was personally involved in dealing with it...I was sick in bed from a stomach bug and taking care of my kid who had some kind of flu. Poor hubby.
The January List:
The January List:
1. Bake muffins for neighbour as a TQ gesture Revised - invited them over for breakfast instead. It was nice to have interaction with other people
Those ham & apple puff pastry quiche bites were the best thing I've ever made - the recipe was from the Stocked Kitchen cookbook I got for Christmas
2. Work on Baine's quilt Did not start. Why? Because my study/impromptu sewing room looked like this:
Why? Because it was better that, than have my guest room look like this:
3. Add floor trim to base of LR stairs Did not even attempt
4. Flip guest room mattress Completed
5. Thank You note and picture to A.Cindy - Isabel's godmother Nope
6. Organize linen closet Revised - redid the guest room closet instead. Which should probably get me bonus points since that closet had it way worse than the linen. And do I love that beautiful dark gray...Can't believe that it was a mistint.
7. Have 1 good outfit per work week Eh
8. Replace LR window trim Nope
9. Return recalled IKEA roman shades 28.57% completed. 2 down, 5 more to go
10. Finish nursery's curtains A big fat YES!
10a. Work on LR roman shades Key word here is "work on". So yes.
So far, February ain't looking so good either....=S

I gotta say, the only thing that caught my interest in your to-do list is the picture of breakfast. Now, do they come in delivery form? :P
aw, c'mon...after all that hard work!
i made egg tarts too, recently =D
I gotta ask: are curtains hard to sew? I'm thinking about sewing up a valance for my living room, but for some reason, I just have it in my head that curtains must be difficult to do.
Amanda - Nope, they are probably the easiest thing for me -- all straight stitches! =D If you add pleats, you can either use a pleating tape (which will make your life much easier) or you can "hard-sew" it like I did (and it'd be a smart idea to actually measure out how much excess fabric you'll need - which i didn't)
Yr breakfast lacks John's scramble eggs and bacon strips!Miss those!!!
