Project One Completed

So...I have been busy working on that 'To-Do' list and finally have one thing to cross off.

I promised my beautiful sister that I would make a fabric cover for her guest book for her wedding in September. She armed me with fabric samples and off I went to Gardams in Toowoomba for the ultimate pick....

So here it is....and guess what....she LOVES it! (Thank God)



Now for the flower girl dress.....wish me luck!!

My endless to-do list....

While driving home from Brisbane yesterday, I took advantage of the time (Mr H was driving) and wrote a list for all the things I need to do....my 'To-Do' list. I remember I used to post weekly lists and proudly used to get 80% of those things done....so I thought I would do it again and see how I go.

- Make a special little boy a birthday present for his party on Saturday.
- Make a customised notebook cover for Emma & Lachlan's guest book for their wedding
- Make Macie's flower girl dress for Emma and Lachlan's wedding
- Organise my dear friend's Baby Shower in October
- Start thinking about Macie's 1st Birthday Party in October (SOO EXCITED)
- Pay bills
- Finalise details and goodies for Emma's Hens Night
- Make Emma's Hens Night Veil
- Work on all Dalli Cottage Orders
- Do the washing, ironing, etc

To add to the list - the flu has hit us here at the Dalli Cottage but thankfully I have the worse of it and Moo only has a very minimal snotty nose. I was hoping that we would survive winter without the flu but no luck there. Thankfully it's a beautiful sunny day - so we shall be spending some time outside in the rays hoping to get rid of this awful head cold.

I have set myself a 3 week timeframe with my To-Do list..........wish me luck!

To-Do List....

Do you ever feeling like your 'To-Do' List is NEVER-ENDING??

I do! I have a million projects that I would love to get into....but am lacking the time and the room in my busy life!

I got cracking this morning and sorted through my huge pile of paperwork, sent letters, paid bills, updated addresses (yes we have been here for over 12 months now) and I feel organised in the bookwork department. It probably took me an hour longer than usual as I had Baby Moo trying to eat all my bills!!

And then it dawned on my why I never get through my lists......



It's because I have Baby Moo now following behind me pulling apart everything I have now cleaned!!! What a terror....a very cute terror at that! :)

So....I have sat down and revised my 'To-Do' List.....and catergorised into

* TODAY - book work, reply to e-mails, sewing, washing, ironing, cleaning, mopping, cooking
* TOMORROW - grocery shopping, mowing lawn, etc
* and THE NEXT DAY - this is the longest list of all....I should really call it my 'dream' list!

What's on your To-Do List??

My To-Do List

I am putting my creative shoes on and going to get busy with all the little projects I have seen on all of these amazing blogs! I feel like I need some things to get me busy so here goes....

1. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this couch table that Life as Lori has made! I am determined to make one for my bathroom as I have been looking for one for AGES! I have neeever worked with wood, nails, etc so I may make it a Mr H & Mama Butterfly project!! Yeehaa!!

2. I am going to make some more matching bibs and burp cloths for Baby Moo!! Being a happy chucker, teething plus being the worlds messiest baby is prooving to be a challenge for me to keep the bibs up to her!

3. I absolutely love these Applique shirts by Aly & Ash Creations! I am going to make Macie a few shirts with Tinkerbell, Bambi, Butterfly and Dragon Fly! I may even get SUPER creative and make a buschka doll!!

4. This book box is AMAZING and will be perfect for Moo's room with her growing collection of gorgeous books! I found the idea from Crafts by Courtney!

5. My laundry basket is looking particularly sad at present so I am going to do a makeover with some gorgeous black & white fabric that I bought YONKS ago from Ikea! I saw the fantastic idea from Crafts by Courtney! She is so CREATIVE!!

6. My jewellery is currently in a huge knot so I am going to make myself a Jewellery Board just like this one at On My Side of the Room!
