Too Many Projects, Not Enough Time

I have been all about projects lately. In my life I go through stages where my creativity (or lack of sometimes) steps in the way of my already busy life and tries to take over. I have such a long list of projects that I so badly want to do and I am trying to figure out how I can make time for them without taking away from anyone or anything else this is important in my life. I have been finding myself wanting to skip out on my daily walk to work on projects instead. This CANNOT be good! And I've been putting off making Gracie's mermaid costume like crazy. I need to get serious and get it done though because I still have mine and possibly Josh's to make as well. AHH!!! Oh well, knowing me, I'm sure I'll wait until the VERY last minute and be forced to stay up till 2 am trying to get everything done.

Here are some of the projects I've been working on...

{distressed flower pot candles... everything I had on hand except for the ribbon}

{there are a pair of these on both sides of the front door}

{made paper mache pumpkins which I thought the kids would totally be into, but it turned into a majorly messy and involved project that they wanted nothing to do with. they look really cool with contained candles inside} *check out my new chair (well new to me), that it's sitting on!

.

{Okay, this is so... cool to me! I was one of those wives who yelled at her hubby while driving "pull over!" I grabbed this chair sitting in a garbage pile and after slapping two coats of black paint on it (which I already had) I recovered the worn out rush seat with this material which cost me about $3. Is that cool or what!?! I absolutely LOVE it and it's more solid than our black table and chairs from crate & barrel.}

.

{recovered the cushion of an old chair that was passed down from my mom with the same fabric as the chair above}

{growing basil which the kids plated at church and hoping to make some pesto sauce. not really a project but it is on my "to-do" list ; )}

{made a tree silhouette to put on this awesome green scrapbook paper that I had to occupy an empty frame} {spray painted and added a ribbon to an old tin container that I had to use for misc. sewing storage}

{made silhouette's of colton - gracie - fletcher (and put on that same paper) to hang above our bed}

.

{this was about a month ago but we added a chair rail in the "princess's" room and painted the bottom portion bubble gum pink. then I hung some enlarged pictures and made the silhouettes to match. are you noticing that I'm into silhouettes right now?}

.

{I replaced the fabric on her armoire to match her room better}

.

{and... this is what awaits me! I purchased these three directors chairs for $10. what a bargain! I have some fabric that I love and paint waiting to make these chairs beauties! can't wait to have the time!
