A Day In The Life

I feel like I haven't done a real post in forever.  I miss it!  Soon.  Today I'm attempting to get a new meal plan together, in addition to trying to finish up the stools.  All the kids (that sounds weird) are napping, so I thought I'd get a few shots of me in action.  Without me.  Ha.

I'll take pictures of the stools once they're finished and I'll share the latest menu once I get it done.  I'm pullin' from my Pinterest boards and a couple of my cookbooks this time around.  At least the weather is nice and I can work on it outside.  Back soon.....

Stool #9

Okey doke, here's the stool that's going to the sister of the stool #8 recipient.  As I mentioned, I got inspiration from one of our kid books.  Gigi, the new owner-to-be, is the cutest little curly haired blonde you've ever seen and she has a favorite stuffed bunny named Foo Foo.  I've mentioned this before, but their mom has a blog called Mediocre Mommy.  It's good.  And not just because I know her.  You should head over and read for awhile.  And you can see pictures of the cutey patootey kids that the stools will live with.

Here's Gigi's stool:

Stool #8

Two more down.  My girlfriend wanted two for her own kids.  Their birthdays are coming up, so she'll give them to them as gifts.  I found it was easier to come up with what I wanted to put on them since I know the kids personally.  If you have kids, the things I painted on them may look familiar.  I used two of our books for inspiration.

Here's Jack's:

Anyone know what book the goose is from?

I'll do his sister's stool in a separate post.

Stool #7

Another stool has been delivered to it's owner.  Well, the purchaser anyway.  The owner is a little boy who will be receiving it as a gift.

Here's #7:

Stool #6

A gal at The Dad's work asked me to make one of the stools for her.  She'll be giving it to her daughter as a first birthday present.  She requested green with giraffes on it.  So green with giraffes it shall be.

Here's stool number six:

One down, three to go......
