We decided that teaching Daisy not to play with Levi's toys is a "trick." Our dog is amazing, we had no trouble getting her to leave Levi's toys alone. We can mix her and Levi's toys in a pile, and she would only touch hers. I love my Daisy!
Ben designed funny little family cards for us all a while back, just for deign fun nothing to print. The other one was his card for his short lived graphic design start up with a friend a couple years ago.
No coffee table, but he made an awesome headboard for our bedroom! Levi watching Daddy work... (See the finished project below.)
I spray painted a lamp shade on one of our lamps. (Can you say "s-t-r-e-t-c-h"?) It was a bad idea. Looks fine in the day and terrible at night when it is on.
This is not really what I had in mind when I made the goal, but this mega wall collage included photos of parents and grandparents. I loved this thing, but it is not up anymore. Levi loved pulling off the bottom photos, and then they all stopped sticking to the wall so I had to take it down. It was looking pretty trashy. Boo, I will figure out a better way to do something like this again.
A while back I wrote a blog post that included a little inspiration board for our bedroom. We made a lot of progress on it. Our wall art still needs a lot of work, and I am eager to have different color walls. We would love to buy a house next spring so there will be no more changes until then. Ben made the headboard. I made the bunting. Dresser is from craigslist (and I never refinished it...sigh). Bedspread and side tables from IKEA. Green bench painted by me from a $3 garage sale find.
Knocked off due to progress on our bedroom and a few DIY projects in the apartment pictured below:
Big wall "art." Bought canvas frame and stretched fabric over it.
Wooden booster chair painted by me, bought at garage sale for Levi when he is a bit bigger.
Letter holder from TJMaxx and spray painted. "Pin board" made from old frame and chicken wire with clothes pins decorated with Washi Tape.
Painted step stool. $0.50 garage sale find.Progress:
20. Read 30 books each. (Ben: 21/30, Leitia: 25/30)
Ben: The Last Command by Timothy Zahn, Catching Fire and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
