Lit and Laundry

Here's my newest attempt for Finished for Friday!!! This is the winter to the series that I'm working on. But I really need to learn to take better pictures!!!
My major accomplishment for this week is the MOUND of boxes I have managed to pack. (not taking pictures of that though :P )



Join the super talented Lit and Laundry for this week's edition of Finished for Friday and see her finished funness!

Still waiting.... and not so paitiently may I add

We're still in the process of house buying. We may get into the house next week. I really hope so, since we have no home as of May 31st. We'll be moving in with my in-laws and storing our stuff. Our fate at the moment rests in the hands of PNC mortgage. At this point I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. It could just be our broker but not working so promptly. I live in boxville right now :) Our goal is to have 95% of our stuff packed by Monday.

We're heading to my in-laws for a birthday celebration for my brother-in-law on Monday, (we may be celebrating my b-day too, but I'm out of the loop) so Ky and I want everything done then. Just the necessary for day to day life stuff left out. I'm hoping in a few weeks I'll forget the stress and worry that is buying a house and just be reveling in the funness that is owning your first home! I can't wait to get decorating and painting. I have so much picked out and I just can't wait to go buy paint and furniture and get moving!!!!!

- as an aside... spell check does not like my made up words! Oops! :)

Lit and Laundry's Finished for Friday

Lit and Laundry
For once I have had a really productive week!!! I am in the middle of quilting a quilt, so I'll post that when it's done. I worked on two more of the button backgrounds and I got a few things done!!!
As part of my I'm stressed crafting (and the fact that I just got in a large Stampin' Up order) I made a bunch of cards, they have no real purpose... so they'll be on hand when I need one!

I also made a mini scrapbook 6x6 for no reason, with no purpose... It photographs better unbound so I'll bind it later this morning!


The major thing I got done this week was an etsy store for Mom and I! Introducing A Mother and Her Daughter!

Whew! That's all for this week. Hopefully next week is a myriad of boxes!

Finished for Friday

Lit and Laundry

I've been following Lit and Laundry's Finished for Friday for a bit and it always looks so fun. I just never get anything finished... but voila! I did! So here's my piece:


This is a free pattern from Just Another Button Co. They have each season as a button background so I am planning on doing each one as the season comes. Hopefully next week I'll have a quilt to show... I'm really working on it!
So go join Lit and Laundry's Finished for Friday and feel accomplished!!! Be sure to check out what she does because the things she finishes are just amazing!!
