Yea, that's the sound of my chest filling with pride. Awe shucks guys. Thanks for all the living room love ... If you all were not just in my virtual world but my touch and hug world we would for sure have some over caffeinated good times here!

I thought I would pass on the paint colors ... in case you feel the need to get out your rollers and tape (I have to tape to paint!). All the colors are Benjamin Moore ~ the living room is Ground Hog Day (that just cracks me up for some reason ... I think of the movie and how life with small children sometimes repeats it's self ... over ... and over ... and over ...). We painted the dining room Crimson and loved it so much we painted the foyer the same color. It's so warm and inviting ... like a great big hug! We like color and aren't afraid to go there ... you might remember our recent bathroom renovation. That color is not BM ... it was meant for another room that turned out to be a big mistake! We used the leftover for the bathroom and called it a day! We have sort of a ketchup, mayo, lettuce thing going on the first floor (our kitchen is Bunker Hill Green). That's it for now ... more rooms to come soon. I need to get out the crayon box and get to work ;-)

On a completely different note but still on the made me feel oh-so-good track ... I volunteered to make some foldable/reusable grocery totes for a local fundraiser. They paired the totes with a membership to a local food co-op.

I know you all have seen my totes ad nauseam but these people had never seen them ... didn't even know I could sew! It was a nice 20 minutes of ooos and ahhhs. I had to leave the party because a migraine took over full force. It was ugly. I am just now feeling human again. But it did get me to thinking (while dozing in and out of medicated consciousness) these are pretty fast to make and easy to do assembly style ... what are they worth? How much would you pay for one of these? Seriously. $10, $12, $15? I don't know ... a quick Etsy search led to me think $10 is the fair price but for some reason I am leaning towards $12 buckaroos. What do you think? I really did have some requests and if I got my act together could have a little Some of a Kind Shop ;-)

Here's a very blurry picture of DH and I right when we got to the shin dig ...

The funny thing about this picture being blurry ... that's how my head felt! Nothing like allergies and a drastic change in the weather to get my head a spinnin'. Off to play catch up from being in bed for a day! Hope all is (and are) well in your neck of the woods.
