I'm back!!!!!!!!

So I was without a computer for a few months (which seems like an eternity) but on the flip side, I stayed so busy with school and projects I barely even knew I was without (well for the most part, I did call my mom on many occations asking her to look something up for me!

So for my first post, I will update that bucket list I posted a while back. Some projects were competed, for some, I was just so busy at the time with 2 moving children they got pushed back to next year!

So overall I am doing well, some of the holiday's have not come up, and I seem to have really only missed one project. The veggie garden has been a pain to keep the dogs out of, and apperently they like zuchini plants, as I am missing 2, that and peppers, they ate my actual peppers off the plant.

I am also working on a Mei Tei and a new wrap for Cakes..the Mei Tei will be cutting and sewing but I am going to actually dye the wrap...that should be fun. maybe.

My last outside project is to find 3 bushes for the backyard to keep the dogs back from the fence, but 2 shepherds hooks for my hanging baskets and finish spray painting the pots that my mother donated to me. These pots are circa 1990 and so not my style, but a little primer, spray paint and gloss and they should be perfect.

Cakes bow holder is almost ready. One more coat of pink, a coat of gloss and ribbons tied on and I should be done!

I am also trying to come up with a good schedule for the kids now that I am home all summer...That is my big project for today, scheduling time for us and then a little time for me to work on all the projects that seem to be building up.
