The living room walls are finished and today I start on the floor. It’s going to be a glossy white which I think will totally transform the whole house.
As I’ve been working on the floors I’ve thought a lot about the day over seven years ago that we painted them black. I was pregnant with Eden and I tripped and fell into the open heater vent. This action somehow caused, what we later found out to be, a chunk of wood to fall in my eye. Luckily Kevin and Sarah surprised us by showing up with rollers and paint brushes, so Jim and Kevin painted the floor while Sarah took me to the ER to get the wood removed from my eye. It was a totally unfun way of getting out of painting!
So here’s to eye-safe floor painting today!

Second one

This is the quilt i started in my quilting class. The class was great because i learned all the tricks for cutting and sewing straight. I obviously made it for Honor and he plans to use it for his dog, Bluey. Honor is so excited about this one and keeps thanking me profusely. Its so nice to have such an expressive kid!
I spent this morning cutting out the next one which will be a throw for the couch. I really need to give up sleeping so i can get all the sewing and knitting done that i want!

I’ve lately been loving this nail polish by sally hansen. It seriously drys in 60 seconds and only needs 1 coat. (If you live where I live, I’ve only been able to find it at Target.) The only warning I would give is to be careful with the colors, some of them are very opaque (what I thought be be a nice transparent white=white out).
