Chaotic Week..New Project

I noticed a lot of my blogs are started projects but I have not followed-up on them to show my results! So..as a commitment to myself I am determined to show progress on my costume for upcoming Dragon*Con this next week! I also came across a deliciously exciting decor project for the walls of my living room since I have given it a total makeover. I will have to scour my computer to see if I have any before pics of my living room, but anyone who has even briefly visited me can attest that my livingroom looked like a highlighter color...and a green couch as an accessory is not the best fashion statement for myself. I proudly can say the walls resemble a bandaid color and the furniture looks brown now..however we are a huge bookcase short due to an avalanche that occured after moving around furniture, much to my husband's dismay. So..this last weekend on top of preparing a sermon for our youth group since we have been named youth pastors, I have began preparing appetizers for my jewelry party that was on Friday, getting together plans for my best friend's birthday (which I missed due to my baby getting a high fever :( ) and painted my living room, put on slipcovers and rearranged the entire area. Okay, the most stupid piece of advice I could possibly give that is the most obvious is..DON'T start a project in the middle of the day before a party! UGH. That was almost the ending to a disastrous and stressful week. Here is the progress so far on the livingroom.. I still have some adjustments to make but I am going to be working on some wall hangings that will cost me less than $50 to make for above my mantle on my fireplace: Back to the idea of decor and my newest craft.. I got this idea from styrofoamcrafts.com and it is relatively easy to make! Super excited to start working on it! I think this would be a great idea for anyone who is not a Van Gough or is not willing to pay some $$$ on artwork to jazz up their home. Plus, craft making rocks..nuff said.
