Lazy Hump Day - tissue wreath project

So today I did absolutely nothing.  Well, I did absolutely nothing with my husband. He is currently studying for his doctorate in physical therapy and is in school full time. That's right, I'm his sugar mama. Well today he had the day off and we just hung out with the baby, napped and watched Ellen together.  This almost never happens so we both indulged in this rare occassion.  I highly recommend it to other parents no matter how many "projects" you may have.  The projects will always be there.

Anyway, I thougth I'd post this valentine's craft that I made yesterday, which inspired me to start up blogging again.  This is called a tissue paper wreath and I made it based on this image from Pinterest. Since I had limited supplies on hand, I improvised a bit.  I used a cardboard circle that I had left over from a Martha Stewart kit and glued 1 inch pink and red tissue squares with a glue stick.  I used the dull end of a pen to adhere the tissue paper to the wreath by placing it in the middle of the tissue square. I used two pieces of tissue paper to complete the entire wreath (that's all I had, anyway).  Then I used some red ribbon to hang it up on an entrance mirror. Ta da! Festive!





This proejct took a whopping 15 minutes to complete. So easy and your kids can help too but I was too anxious to wait on my 3 1/2 year old and just did it myself. I do have other projects in mind that involve his grubby little hands.

Rebirth of "Eternally Learning"

So after a long hiatus from blogging, I decided to start again to document our upcoming projects. So what have we been up to, you might ask? Well, to start off, we sold our townhouse and bought a single home all in 3 months. Praise God! We had both settlements on the same day and three days after, we were sleeping in our new home.  With that said, we have a lot of projects ahead of us and I've been a busy gal, checking out other blogs and obsessing over ideas on Pinterest. I'll start posting some of our before pictures at the house so you all can see the slow transformations.  Our first projects were boring and non-asthetic.  My husband was obsessed with recessed lighting so now we have them in our living room and basement and just about every light in the house has a dimmer and is controlled from multiple locations.

Oh....and I had a baby! I guess you would say that was our biggest project of all during my blog hiatus so we are happy to report that we had a healthy baby girl.  Her nursery is not yet what I envisioned it to be so be on the lookout for a before and after post.

So during my maternity leave, I hope to tackle as many projects around the house.  I hope to also do some crafting and diying since I have some time in between being a full time cow and a pooper scooper for my little girl.

Stay tuned for more....
