starting simple

not that it wasn't long enough already, but lately i've added many home projects to my "to-do" list.  one of those projects is to revamp the art throughout our house.  i'm starting in c's room - we have some lovely prints already from matte stephens and berkley illustration, but i need to mix it up a bit.  i'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of these:

abc poster trees from isak

reading is cool from etsy's dazeychic

i also have a new quilt and a banner on my list for his room.  we recently had an incident that resulted in bleaching his baby quilt (i don't normally use bleach unless it's a laundry emergency!) and apparently our blue, lime and gray blanket is now a rather icky blueish, brownish and yellow! i might add another bookshelf too as his collection of books are creeping into ever more nooks and crannies. and since i haven't really gotten around to getting rid of diapers yet i might recover the change pad to match the future quilt (unless we have underpants triumphs soon!).

other things to-do include getting new stuff into my etsy shop, finishing the scarf on my knitting needles, making c's halloween costume, sewing many wee person clothes, making a respectable handful of christmas gifts, upholstering an ottoman and chair, recovering the dining chairs, refinishing a vintage end table, many photography projects, still that plan to figure out screenprinting and the list goes on and on. so i'm starting with simple - ordering artwork.  that gets something checked off my list with relatively little effort!  done and done.
