Potato Time

It seems that staying at home is much too exciting for me.  I should never be left unattended.  I start finding things to fix and improve and make pretty.  While it is not always the best for my bank account, it makes my surroundings more lovely.  I have two weeks off of school right now for potato harvest, which I think is just a tradition at this point.  I don't think many of the kids really are out there working.  I appreciate, however, the time to get things done that I normally overlook.  Who knew that having clean baseboards could make you feel like an entirely new person?  Here is what I have been up to:

Living Room & Kitchen Make-over

I traced each frame and taped the paper to the wall before hanging anything up.  It was the easiest way to hang things I have ever used!  And...I only put one hole in the wall for each frame instead of five, like I usually do. :)

Laundry Room Cupboard

When we installed our washer and dryer, the closet doors wouldn't shut anymore!  These curtains were our solution.

I decided that instead of throwing the single socks back into the laundry basket every time I do laundry, they can just hang out until a match comes along or another sock gets lost.  The little basket is for kitchen rags so they don't mix in with our clothes.

Bathroom

Bedroom & Office Space

I covered these bulletin boards so David can map out the Home Teaching assignments for Elder's Quorum. It was more of an experiment than anything else.  I made all of the fabric flowers using tutorials I found on none other than Pinterest.
