Time Flies when you're having fun!

Wow! Already Friday again! Today is my son's birthday and he is 23 years old. He will graduate from UT in a few weeks and hopefully find a good job. Another big step in his young life. I remember the year that I graduated from college and I was so excited about my first coaching/teaching job. What an experience for a 21 year old. I wasn't that much older than the students. In the middle of that year I got pregnant with my first daughter, Linsi, and I decided that I would not be a working mom. I made the decision to stay at home and take care of my newborn and I've never regretted staying home for the next 12 years with my 3 children. I'm so thankful that my husband had a good job and we were financially able to make that decision. Matt doesn't like to get his picture made so I'm posting an old picture of him. He hasn't changed much though.

I bought three white pumpkins from Pottery Barn and I made an arrangement for the dining table. I put the pumpkins in a green charger that I also picked up at Pottery Barn and then I added some cute filler around the outside edges. I'll post a picture of that too.

I'm Back

Well I finally got my computer back today and I am posting pictures of my new curtains and some other projects. The black chest of drawers that I painted and put in my sewing room which also holds my new t.v. that I bought for that room is also in this group of pictures. We have had our share of rain the past couple of days! We are still working on the lighting in the kitchen but it's slowly getting there. My walls look really bare in most of the pictures because I haven't decided what I am going to put on them yet. I have a hard time deciding what to put on freshly painted walls but I will put something up soon and when I do I'll post those pictures too. Tomorrow my son, Matt, will be 23 years old. Man, how time flies, it seems like yesterday he was only a toddler. I used two pottery barn colors for the newly painted rooms. I used linen wicker for the kitchen and sewing room and then in the master bedroom and bath I used Oakwood manor. Both are very neutral colors but I plan to pull in color with accessories and curtains. If you go back to some of the earlier post you can see before pictures of the kitchen and some of the furniture pieces. I also included a picture of my quilt. I need to put the binding around the edges and it will be finished.
