Whatcha Working On Wednesday

I can only give you a peek at what I’m workin’ on, because it’s going to be a swap item for a good prim friend. Just a glimpse here…..

Ooooo, ahhh, can ya smell fall is in the air? The other weekend we got a look at some local pumpkins just beginning to turn orange… I can’t stand the anticipation! I love the fall!!!

I finished up sewing the valances & temporarily stuck them up in the family room. I’m real excited at how they turned out. Whatcha think?

The hubster also finished building my shelves

Ok, catch the vision I’m casting here….This is one long shelf that runs the length of both windows, just about 7 feet or over. I’m going to prim this up & use the rustic Briwax to stain it. Now imagine them flipped the other way with the stitchery/homespun valances hanging from underneath. Atop will sit a collection of vintage toys, old hardy boy books, game pieces & some prim game boards. I know it’s difficult to imagine. I hope to be able to show y’all the finished results real soon. I’m getting anxious also.

Back to school is going smoother. We opted to drive the boys to school & pick them up together. It’s brought peace to the situation, even though Jo misses his bus driver. This way I feel more involved & can get teacher contact more readily, if needed. We all get up together, bright & early. I enjoy this small time as a family & I’ve been trying to cook breakfast for us all together. It’s been a lot of work first thing, but I feel like a better wife & Mommy for it.

Have a blessed Wednesday what ever you worked on. If I don’t get to posting before the weekend, may everybody have a restful labor day weekend.
