This Country Fried Life: Summer Projects

Tuesday, June 1, 2010

With summer freedom only 2 days away, I'm making a list of things that I need to accomplish. First on my list is getting ready for Baby Moore!! Project #1-refinishing my crib. My parents came down this weekend & they brought with them my baby crib. It's beautiful, but outdated, so this summer I plan on sanding it down & giving it a fresh coat of paint. Project #2-refinish dresser & changing table. After I finish the crib, I'll be moving on and working on the dresser & changing table. Hopefully after a little TLC all of these pieces will have a new vintage look to them. I will be sure to post pictures! :) Project # 3-nursery! Once I get the furniture finished, I plan on working on the nursery. We won't know the sex of Baby Moore until late July, early August, so I have plenty of time to figure how I want to decorate.

Check out these cute shoes that my dad bought for the baby.

And I couldn't pass these up....

Once I get everything finished for the baby, I have my list of things to get done for myself.....

#1 T-Shirt Quilt-Aunt Janet is going to teach me how to quilt this summer & I plan on making myself a t-shirt quilt out of all of my t-shirts from my time at A&M!

#2-Read-my summer reading list grows daily

I'm dying to do a t-shirt quilt with all of my t-shirts. You might need to do tutorials on your blog after you learn. :) And when did you graduate from A&M? I'm class of '03!
