Remember that post I did a while ago about making goals and finishing projects in a timely manner? Well, it was something like that. Since then I have set out and made goals, and I've been finishing projects that have been on my mind forever, or that I actually started and hadn't finished in forever. So, here are a few things that I'm so happy to have finished.
This is a turkey place mat that I took the idea from a Pottery Barn Kids magazine 2 years ago. A group of ladies and I wanted to make them in a couple of weeks so I got to make the pattern and figure it out. I think they turned out soooo adorable.
Finally I made pillowcases for the couch pillows. These were super easy to make, I don't know why I didn't do it earlier.
These curtains have been sitting around half-made for at least 6 months, but I've had the material for almost 3 years. It matches the kitchen chairs that I re-upholstered. Anyways, I hated walking into the kitchen after dark. I felt like I was in a fish bowl. These took me a while because I originally cut the fabric shorter than I wanted, so I had to make pleats to add to the bottom.
These pleats are what took me so long. The bummer thing is that you can't really see them unless you look close. And they are so cute! Too bad.
Our yearly cheese-cloth ghosts. The girls and I made them this week. They are not on the list of projects that I needed to finish, it's just something we did.
This American Flag fence. I cut it, put it all together, and painted it, now Randy's job is to hang it.
Oh, one other thing we've finished lately is a frame we made to put around our bathroom mirror. It was just a plain piece of mirror hanging there, and now it looks tons better. Maybe I'll post a picture sometime. Actually, Randy did most of the work on that one.
I'm at the point in my pregnancy where I have tons of energy and feel great. I love this time and everything I'm accomplishing!

Love it all! Our mirror is the same way, and I was thinking of framing it with trim; I'd love to see how yours turns out!
Wow! you are my inspiration! I have a million projects that are unfinished. Too many to even think about, it starts getting overwhelming!! Great job! Maybe one of these day....
Very impressive, I only have one child and can't seem to accomplish even half the things you do:)
