Long Week

Much as I anticipated, I got more done in the evenings last week than I got done this weekend. Although for once I actually accomplished a little bit this weekend. Last week I managed to get the other 4 chairs framed out and the bases stained. I really meant to throw on the finish today, but that didn't happen, boo. I finished out the tops of the chairs and cut the foam for them. The only problem is lack of burlap. I probably have enough for 1 instead of 4. I need to buy some more tomorrow. 

Anyway, I at least got them that far. Nothing picture worthy so this will be a bit of a boring post, but hey, I am happy. I WILL have the chairs done this week. I just KNOW it. I can get a lot done in the evenings. I even managed to get the fabric washed for me to cut the slipcovers out. I may have even done that tonight except that I had a surprise date night with my husband. The kids went to bed and we got to relax and talk and spend time together where we have not gotten to for awhile. Probably because I work until 10pm or later in the garage each night...hmmm...very well could be that.

My list of other projects though is only getting longer. I have to finish building the windows for the playhouse. I can't keep the blue plastic over the windows all winter. It wont take but a few hours to get them done. I just have to spend a couple hours doing it. I have the Plexiglas I just have to build the frame and put them in the windows. I was able to cut the legs for 3 of the 10 toddler chairs I still owe the daycare. One of the daycare teachers has finally decided on a table, bench and chairs that she wants, so I can get started on all of those too. I really wish I had 2 weeks off just to work on all of these projects. It would feel SOOO nice to have them all done and accomplished. At yet, I am still dreaming of building so many other projects. They wont leave my head and tease me and make it hard to finish one project without wanting to begin another one!

But first before all of those, I have to finish my chairs. I also need to get 3 or 4 signs done up for some ladies from my mom's group before Christmas. I want them done sooner than later so I have them slated to be done this week along with the dining room chairs. If by Friday I have both of those things DONE DONE, I will feel really good going into next weekend where I can begin cleaning and planning for Thanksgiving.

Now if only I could do all that and still get more sleep.......yeah.....not going to happen sadly.
