The Boys Rooms

OK, I've officially fallen off my rocker. I've actually wondered if I am perhaps going through a manic episode and need to go get myself evaluated somewhere. (Yes, that was a joke!) Since we're pretty much broke, at least when it comes to extraneous money for fun things like bedrooms, I decided I'd save money and do a lot of the work myself. A LOT of the work. Here are my to-do lists for the boys' rooms:

Zach's Room:

• Paint 3 walls green - DONE!
• Paint car/truck mural on 4th wall - DONE!
• Paint some sort of decoration on the solid, non-mural wall (I'm thinking words of some sort? Stop? Beep Beep? Dunno yet.)
• Sew curtains for windows
• Fabric paint some sort of design on curtains - CANCELED! I decided that it would just be too busy looking.

Baby's Room:

• Find fabric I 1) like and 2) can afford - UPDATE: Found a cute, affordable crib set instead :)
• Sew the following:
  - Curtains
  - Bed Skirt
  - Bumper
• Paint room or touch up existing paint - UPDATE: Will only need to touch up existing paint
• Paint accents on wall above crib

Sounds easy, right? Right ... but the first step before any sewing can be done would be remember how to thread the damn sewing machine. And no, that one wasn't a joke :) Zach's room gets first priority, then I will move on to the baby's room. Once I get that done, I have a list of other things I'd like to sew, but they're definitely bottom of the totem pole things. (New sling, new boppy cover, pillow for rocking chair in baby's room, and a car seat tent) Now ... any bets on how old the baby will be when I actually get all this stuff finished? I'll give you all a hint and say that I have definitely inherited my mom's ability to finish projects. The quilt she started for my brother when he was about 2 years old was finished in the weeks before he left for college ...
