i have three weeks of summer before i head back to work.  one of those weeks i'll be visiting my family in missouri.  so i figure i have two weeks left to make my summer wishes come true.  here's the list of projects i started the summer with:

*finish my painting- a big painting i started has been sitting there for about a year waiting for me to take a day to finish it off

*paint the eiffel tower- and by that i mean, paint a sketchy black outline on a white background.  simple... easy...  hopefully.  after our trip to paris in the spring i've been longing for a good picture.

*make throw pillows for the new bench- done!  i always like to put things on my list that i already did to make me feel better.

*cook some new recipes- i haven't had time to cook in ages and i'm ready for some new stuff.  so far i made my mom's chile verde for the first time and some crock pot mac and cheese.  yum.

*paint the bedroom-

*make a paper wreath- check!   :)

*create my oasis on the new patio- plants, wind chimes, etc.

*make a baby carrier wrap and some baby blankets for my newly pregnant friend, sarah.

*finish these books:

wish me luck!
