Great Week

This has been a great week!  Lots happening and just Sheryl being a better self!  My new motto that I am living by is "Just Do It".  Pretty original, I know.  You can get so much done if you just get right to it.  I've been really bad at thinking:
I don't really know what I am doing/ where to start, or
That will take work, or
I don't think I can do that/ I am not good enough, or
It costs money, etc
That last one is an interesting one.  I have lots of thoughts on all of these excuses but that isn't important right now.  That's a whole other can of worms.  But, Here's what I was able to accomplish this week:

I made homemade pizza pops!  Easy frozen supper or quick lunch.  They turned out really well and I am quite proud.

I have tried a couple of times to make homemade bread and done very poorly, but this week I really wanted spaghetti and meatballs and I thought a french bread would go very nicely with it, so I just did it and I must say they turned out quite well!

Aiden has been a great helper, he's getting so big!

Out of the kitchen and into the garage.  I recently acquired my parents old dressers.  They have had these since they were newly married and have been a fixture in their bedroom my whole life.  They recently re-did their bedroom and didn't want these old dressers anymore.  They were more than happy to let me take them off their hands and a little excited to see what I would do with them I think.  I plan on breathing new life into them. I have never done anything like this so I am just figuring it out as I go  (with a little help from some blogs, I love allthingsthrifty) 

Here's the before, there's this one and another long dresser beside it that has a mirror that goes on top.  They are a matching set

And here is where I'm at so far, some sanding and some priming done



You'll have to stay tuned for the final result.  There is a rush on this project as we would like to be able to park back in the garage.  Especially Matt with his very early mornings and all.  Early morning seminary is a killer, we basically got a garage just so Matt wouldn't have to scrape the winshield and brush off the car at 5:45 in the morning - He deserves it!  ALTHOUGH, it isn't the car that Matt will be driving anymore, yes, we are the proud owners of two vehicles!  Check out this beauty - can't you just see Matt running about in this beauty!!!!

We plan on trying to spruce it up a bit, for now that means
hopefully getting rid of the pretty pink decals and in
the future maybe a paint job with a buddy that has the
whole set up in his garage to do it and is willing to show Matt
the ropes.  We hope this thing is good to us and we hope
$1500.00 was a good price!

I also got a bit of sewing done, another one of my loves even though I really don't know what I am doing.  Aiden may be a year and half old, but I finally made a crib skirt, now I just need to finish the blanket I started/bought supplies for before he was born.  Now you can really see that I have a procrastination problem that I am working through!!

Here's the finished result



Here's a little close up- The blanket is the one that I need to
finish, If you look close you can see a pin.  It just needs to
be tied.  I've just never tied a blanket and I don't have the supplies
I know... excuses.



For the top of the bed skirt, I cut up
an old pillow case that I accidently
dyed pink in the wash. 
You don't see it, afterall. Right



This is just a little close-up of the detail in the bed skirt.
I don't even know what this is called!

Well, that's my week in a nut shell, just the good things I did anyway, Sorry I don't have pictures of the times that Aiden was driving me batty and crying in his crib because he was not allowed out because it wasn't time to get up yet. 
Oh, I almost forgot a couple other things that made this week so great.  I finally decided to go out and buy sheets that fit our bed, it's only been three years that I have trying to make king sheets do on our extra deep queen bed.  That's what you get when you have a 22 inch deep mattress.  I ended up getting a pretty good deal, so that was good.  I am very very excited to make the bed up tomorrow. 
And Denver and Jazmin had their baby. YAY.  Aiden now has a boy cousin.  We can't wait to go see them, and hold the little guy!
