Beware the Ides of March

Always good advice. Especially when it falls on a Monday.

Well, I'm trying to keep up with my goals for the summer. I'm still being indecisive about the paint color for the bathroom. I've already gone a little crazy with the colors in my house. I'm not saying that I don't love my previous choices, but I'm definitely considering keeping some rooms a little more toned down. Purple and steel blue are both heavy contenders though.

With the recent (and oh so welcome) weather changes that have been happening lately, I feel my creative side start to awaken from its deep slumber. There's so much I want to do now. I've added crocheting a rug to my list. Yes, you read that correctly...crochet a rug. I've looked online at some patterns and I'm seriously considering it. I'll start with one for the bathroom (if I ever decide on a paint color) and then we'll see where it goes from there. Also, I would LOVE to paint some new art work for the living room. I have a panel design in mind using curtain fabric or something abstract I painted. The hardest part of the entire process is finding the time do it. Hopefully, the end result would be a home that reflects more of my style rather than just being a collection of pieces pulled together over the years that really don't mean anything. (Side note: While typing this, I just remembered something that needs to go on the list—sanding and staining my coffee and tv table. to match. Probably wouldn't hurt to do the sofa table as well.) There's too much to do...ugh.

Like I said, the weather is slowly (and I mean sllllooowwwwwlllllyy) been warming up. I absolutely cannot wait to be able to open the window and enjoy a nice breeze through the house. A good barbeque would be wonderful as well. And even though it's Monday (yuck), it's the first day since fall that I'll get home and have more than 15 minutes of daylight left. It's little blessings like those that make me happy :)
