It's a new year. And it's time to start doing things better this year. I have always been a pretty crafty person...but since having Jack it's been hard to devote anytime to my 'projects'. Also, I am notorious about getting excited with one project, start it and get excited about another, leaving the first behind.
So this year, I am going to try to make a positive effort to not do that. With a lot of things.
My main love right now is Pinterest. Which if you don't know what that is, then you aren't living. OMG it is amazing. Food, DIY, Holiday, Kid, Party, etc Ideas. Never ending possilibity boards! I have many projects that I am dying to-do building up in my "DIY: Things Id Like To Try" board. I did many holiday projects that I got from Pinterest! My favorites so far are the ornament wreats from a coat hanger and wrapping my dining room chanalier with garland, ribbon and ornaments. You better believe that when everything was on sale after christmas, I bought tons of ornaments just to make more weaths next year (maybe for gifts). (Pics in my next post).
Any whoo, right now, I am on the hunt for some sort of storage ottoman or storage bench for our living room. Mainly because having a 9 month old creates LOTS of toys and little pieces. I would love to DIY, but I tend to think that my skills are a lot greater then that are (or so my husband reminds me, lol). I'm going to figure it out though. The one's that I like at Target are at least $70...I know I can do it cheaper then that!

The other stuff we are working on right now is the possibility of moving. This is something that Evan and I have struggled with probably starting 6 months after we bought our current house. Dont get me wrong we love LOVE love our house. However, the location is not exactly prime for us. And, now that we have Jack, we want have a larger house that we can grow into...especially if we have more children. At this moment, we are on a 2 year plan to move. We have been looking at houses and locations all over the Westoplex (which mean the west side of the dfw Metroplex). I.E. Lake Worth, Keller, NRH, Watauga, Colleyville. However, the kink is that we found a house that we absolutely love in the price range that we are great with. It doen't have a pool and it isn't the location. The sad thing is that if you put this house in the location that we want, we would be paying at least $50K more than it is now. ugh. Pluse the house probably wont be there in two year. Oh well. I'm sure we'll find something when the time is right...AND sell our current home. (cross our fingers on that one).

Oh well, for right now that, I am on the hunt for my DIY storage ottoman/bench project!!!
