As the playroom conversion continues I am trying to use every bit of space....can you tell! Slowly very slowly I am beginning to see how this will work. ANd just as slowly I am hoping that I can convince my husband that we should paint as we go, even if it is one wall of this room and then some in another until we can get it all done.
Once I get the house moved, into the living room thank you, then this wall is ready for either paint and then a table, desk and shelves or just those things to be moved. I majority of the moving I will actually do completely myself. However the desk will require outside help other then just Tim. We'll see how that goes.
I also just realized today that I may need to figure out something different with the curtains. At least they will need new rods. I think light yellow for this room is what I want. SOmething sunshiny but light.
3 from yesterday afternoon, 2 from this morning. I did 2 more this afternoon waiting in the rain and 3 or 4 during soccer practice.
I wasn't kidding the whole back of the Middle School where the soccer fields are is a mess! And this was after 8 days of no rain, and really it just drizzled today. They may never be the same again!
But this refilled my well, just a tiny bit. The drowning suffocating feeling is creeping in....must work to make it go away.
I mean really how can that not fill your soul even just a little bit! After a day of rain I really needed that!
And this does just as much.
So what else today...no weaving (boo!) no work on the baby quilt (boo again) though that may be what I do this evening. I did do a bit of embroidery on the Superman quilt. Too many dishes and way too much work in the playroom along with finishing the laundry. But I snuck in some moments to be the stay at home artist that I am working on being...I'll let you know how that goes as I learn how to be that person. instead of the grocery getting, food preparing, lunch making, homework helper, laundry folder, toy picker upper with a tiny bit of artist thrown in.
hang in there! I like your idea of one wall at a time. It will help you feel like you're getting something done. That's how I painted our living room a few years ago. One day we moved everything to one corner, painted two walls and the next day we moved everyone to another corner and painted the remaining walls. Painting and empty room is a luxury that just holds up progress!
ReplyDeleteany ONE of the things you accomplish in a day would have probably made me feel superhuman when I was raising the girls. I think you do an awesome job of being a stay at home mom, artist, inspiration, and designer - to tell you the truth! Please dont judge yourself by someone else's criteria!!! :) XO
