My weekend started with a major house rearranging to start getting the baby's room in order. After clearing out the former guest room, moving the office, and emptying some remaining items from the storage unit we rented to "stage" our house for selling, I was a little tired. (Although I didn't really carry or lift much, but it sure looked tiring.)

Of course I wasn't too tired to start imagining all the fun projects I'll be doing to decorate the baby's room. Here is a selection of fabric I picked up for some "wall art" I've started working on. Plus a few paint samples. (I'm leaning towards Limeheart, second from the top.)

Why? Well, I am now embarking on my longest and most important project (or science experiment)...a baby. Needless to say, I'm going to start blaming this kid for zapping my energy (I'm sure this won't be the end of that).

About Me
I'm Maren and I inherited the "project" gene. While this probably isn't a scientific term, I believe it is why I am constantly starting (and usually finishing) new projects. I focus most of my efforts on various crafts, sewing, art, home decor, recycled materials and anything else that peaks my curiosity.
