August round-up

Another month done! I'm so excited we are getting closer and closer to fall... I'm ready!



I'm also ready to jump into another month of prompts from Fat Mum Slim. Here is the list for September...



I'm hoping beyond hope and keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I can post some before and after pictures of the house this month - I feel like we are on the threshold of a lot of progress... Eek! Stay tuned.

Hidden treasures

Day 31: Hidden
We have been finding lots of fun treasures on our walks to the park. A nice collection for counting and sorting...

It's a boy!

Day 30: Card
Having fun creating some invites for a baby shower I'm helping throw for my cousin... Looking forward to meeting her little boy in a couple months!

Goodbye Blue...

Day 29: Down
Goodbye Subaru. It's been real. I know we had our differences and I never favored you and your crazy blueness like the hubby did, but I sure appreciate how you got us around town, out of town, and around the country. We brought our little bug home from the hospital in you and I will cherish that day forever. Hope you enjoy your makeover and a few more good years!

Time after time...

Day 28: Clock
It's just around the corner - our 6 year anniversary. I hinted to the hubby that I would love it if he made the wood background for this clock for me to paint... Modern 6 year gift is wood. Not that he has any spare time to do this! But oh I love the sound of a ticking clock in a quiet room...

Tap it out

Day 27: Tap
We're studying music this week... Hot glue, a few pennies, a pair of shoes and a very eager student = some super cute tap dancing! What could be more fun than dancing and making music with your own feet??

A place for dreams...

Day 26: Dream
One more month people! The hubby has asked me to wait until October to redo the bugs room and make space for baby - chomping at the bit here!! Until then I can dream up a fun space for my little ones to share... The gender of our newest addition is going to be a surprise, otherwise I would be doing a totally girly sister room! I think my hubby is happy it will remain a little more neutral.

Starting with inspiration...

And some fun ideas to spruce up the space...

(Art/Dresser/Book Bin/Crib/Art/Rug/Wreath)

(Fauxdermy/Nightstand/Bed/Chandelier/Fabric waiting to be sewn into curtains)

So the plan at this point is pale grey walls, white trim woodwork, pale teal yellow and white accents, blue and white Ikat print curtains, white wood twin bed and crib, white shag rug, painted dresser (white or fun design), book bin, DIY artwork, DIY Chandelier, and some fauxdermy for the wall. I think it's going to be a super cute room - so come on October! I'm ready.
