I developed and cut all the shapes using my Silhouette, and found it took a while! Instead of reinventing the wheel, feel free to email me and I will happily send you my cut files and instructions for making your own banner. <br />

As a child, I would always ask him to "tell me a story I've never heard". He had so many interesting stories from his childhood to share!<br />
<br />

They write a response to each one, and at the end of a year they are compiled and made into a keepsake book. You can also get additional books if there are several people interested in keeping the stories. The storyteller can choose to share their stories online with anyone they add to their list. I can't wait for my Dad to get started!<br />
<br />
His wedding anniversary is the same week as Father's Day, so the first writing prompt is about his wedding day. Some others coming up are about family vacations, weathering hurricanes, and his grandparents. <br />

I knew she'd love wearing a special birthday outfit, so I made a glittery mermaid shirt and gathered skirt out of mermaid fabric.<br />
<br />
I have a Silhouette Cameo (a fun little machine that cuts custom shapes), but I could only find Cricut glitter heat transfer vinyl at Michael's. I figured it would be similar enough to be able to use in my Silhouette Cameo. WARNING! The pre-set Silhouette settings are wayyyy off! I immediately ruined my cut board and about half my vinyl. Lesson learned...do a small test cut first!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgiWIsTqIfDCGpyHGl6apbs0K1tiN29xvuGWR3RQ9Bl1Bow5H-vE6MNR7bvNckUk9IKsocQmYU87F3g345lOawrGhYf68TK1UCTTEWEsp5lPtdPxAoTczQazgcHloSYecpF8wHiPZ3HNlc/s1600/silhouette+glitter+vinyl+settings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="915" data-original-width="525" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgiWIsTqIfDCGpyHGl6apbs0K1tiN29xvuGWR3RQ9Bl1Bow5H-vE6MNR7bvNckUk9IKsocQmYU87F3g345lOawrGhYf68TK1UCTTEWEsp5lPtdPxAoTczQazgcHloSYecpF8wHiPZ3HNlc/s400/silhouette+glitter+vinyl+settings.jpg" title="silhouette cut setting for cricut glitter iron-on vinyl" width="228" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
To save you the same heartache, here are the settings I used:<br />
<br />
Ratchet depth: 3<br />
Cut Speed: 4<br />
Thickness: 10<br />
Double Cut: Yes<br />
<br />
It was super easy to weed, didn't cut through the vinyl backing, and definitely didn't ruin another cut board.<br />

<br />
<br />
To make the mermaid, I Googled for images of mermaids. I wanted a mermaid that was pretty but not sexy. I used Silhouette Studio to trace the mermaid and make a cut file. Then I cut her out of Cricut iron-on glitter using the cut settings above. I ironed the mermaid onto a plain white shirt, and voila! Special party shirt!!!<br />
<br />
For reference, the shirt is a size 3, and the mermaid is 7" tall. <br />

It was themed after Eric Carle's book <a href="http://amzn.to/2rJiQ1l" target="_blank">The Very Hungry Caterpillar</a>. I was very thankful to have my other sister-in-law and friends of the Mom-to-be helping me with this. We divided up duties, and I got to do all the decor! Thanks to Pinterest, I found several cute ideas I was able to copy.<br />
<br />

I made this Hungry Caterpillar welcome banner using cardstock and my <a href="http://amzn.to/2rIRLLM" target="_blank">Silhouette Cameo</a> to hang behind the chair where she would open gifts. I even found a font similar to the one used in the book! The red circles are 8" and the green circles are 6".<br />

The paper lantern caterpillars are made using 10" red lanterns for the heads and 8" mismatched green lanterns for the bodies. I found the most affordable lanterns at the <a href="http://www.paperlanternstore.com/" target="_blank">Paper Lantern Store</a>. These sizes are fine for a smaller space, but I wish I had used larger ones for these large rooms. I used <a href="http://amzn.to/2qa6JJq" target="_blank">command hooks</a> (3 lb. strength) to attach the caterpillars the ceilings so I wouldn't have to poke holes with tacks. The lanterns are strung onto fishing line. I used cardstock and my <a href="http://amzn.to/2rIRLLM" target="_blank">Silhouette Cameo</a> for the face pieces and feet!<br />

I made the giant fruits by painting large swoops of paint onto posterboard (a glass of wine helped me be extra swoopy with my brush strokes, lol). I used the paintbrush I normally use for painting trim and baseboards, and several colors of acrylic paint I had on hand. After making all the swoops, I flipped the posterboard over and drew out the fruits, then cut them out. I traced a roll of blue painters tape for the holes. These were a great way to make large decor for a big room.<br />

The diaper cake is made from about 60 <a href="http://amzn.to/2q3P0aV" target="_blank">Size 2 Earth's Best diapers</a> (because they're plain white, the larger size helps make the cake larger, and I just really love this brand). I used <a href="http://amzn.to/2qNffS4" target="_blank">Goodnight Moon</a> and <a href="http://amzn.to/2qNffS4" target="_blank">The Runaway Bunny</a> for the book layer, and clipped them together with paperclips. I managed to find <a href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1276187989?campaign_label=transaction_buyer_notification&utm_source=transactional&utm_campaign=transaction_buyer_notification_010170_10529880387_0_0&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&email_sent=1492614545&euid=8CNboG_JVq8BvR_4-uDAq5oRyaYB&eaid=2281256112&x_eaid=b15f6d5a45" target="_blank">Hungry Caterpillar ribbon</a> to wrap them up, and topped them off with a few Eric Carle toys!

We asked the guests to sign a copy of <a href="http://amzn.to/2rJiQ1l" target="_blank">The Very Hungry Caterpillar</a>, as well as address an envelope for the Mom-to-be to use for her thank you notes. With 45 guests worth of thank you notes to write, she needs all the help she can get!<br />
<br />
We also asked guests to bring a book to build the baby's library! I think he's going to be quite literate! The quilt is made from an Eric Carle 10 Little Rubber Ducks panel. <br />

My other sister-in-law developed a delicious menu: yogurt bar, croissant bar (she MADE them at the house which made the house smell so yummy) with egg salad and chicken salad, pinwheel sandwiches, mini muffins, Duck Donuts, and a popcorn bar. She complemented the spread with a cocktail we named Peach Sparklers, which were made from peach puree, orange juice, and champagne.<br />

Friends of the Mom-to-be created a draw-your-own bingo board where guests first filled out items they thought might get opened, then marked off squares as the gifts were unwrapped. They also broke up the gift portion of the shower with two games, one with nursery rhymes and one with children's books.<br />
<br />
I really couldn't be happier with how the shower came together! It was cute, had great food, and fun activities. But most of all, it brought together this amazing community of women who are super excited to welcome this sweet baby into the world.<br />
<br />
Hopefully some of these ideas come in handy if you're planning a Very Hungry Caterpillar Baby Shower or Very Hungry Caterpillar Birthday!

I wanted to pop in with a quick post about the Mommy & Me skirts I just made for Mother's Day! This is a great sewing project for someone with beginner-level skills or someone looking for an adorable end product without spending a ton of time! It's all straight lines!<br />

I used <a href="http://punkinpatterns.com/blog/2012/01/easy-peasy-skirts.html" target="_blank">this blog for the pattern</a>, and it was so easy to follow! The only change I made was to include more fabric in the hem, giving me the option to lengthen the skirt as my daughter grows. My other suggestion is to only multiply the waist measurement by 1.25x - 1.5x for an adult skirt, as mine came out very full. For my daughter I used the full 45" fabric width, which was a little more than 2x her waist.<br />
<br />
The fabric is Paparounes in Crimson, and I bought it at <a href="https://bobbieloufabric.com/products/paparounes-in-crimson" target="_blank">Bobbie Lou's Fabric Factory</a>. I love her curated collection of quilting fabrics!!! I just bought <a href="https://bobbieloufabric.com/products/mermaid-magic-in-mist-metallic" target="_blank">mermaid fabric</a> (Mermaid Magic in Mist Metallic) to make another skirt like this for my daughter's birthday.<br />
<br />
Photos are taken at the Capitol Riverfront in Washington, DC. If you're local or visiting I highly suggest making some time to play and walk around this park.

Once her girls have outgrown items and toys, they get passed on to us! Most look like they've been worn only a few times, some have stains (which I've gotten pretty good at removing), but there are a few pieces that were obviously very loved!<br />
<br />
When items are stained beyond my capabilities, they join the "spaghetti shirt" stockpile. Spaghetti shirts function as full-body bibs when we have meals or art projects that I know will stain good clothes.<br />
<br />
But sometimes I can rescue a stained or worn item just by adding a little flair. The floral pants below were in good shape and part of the regular rotation, but got stained while crawling on the ground at <a href="http://luraycaverns.com/" target="_blank">Luray Caverns</a> (which is totally worth visiting!). Around the same time, we were given a pair of pants that were looking worn at the knees. I wanted to save them both!<br />

I dug around in my fabric stash and found a red and pink striped knit. I attached fusible web to the striped fabric first. Then I traced heart shapes onto the paper and cut out the hearts. I "dry fit" them over the stains/worn places, then ironed them on! Easy peasy.<br />

<br />
<br />
I thought my project was complete at this step, but my daughter ripped the hearts off after wearing the pants for less than an hour. Soooo, I ironed on new patches, then sewed them down by hand with large stitches along the edge. This took about 5 minutes per patch.<br />

<br />
<br />
Now these pants have new life, and might even be cuter than the original! Fancy companies put contrasting patches on their clothing and charge big bucks...I put these on hand-me-downs for free and in less than 30 minutes. Score! I did this to extend the life of these pants...but now I'm also thinking this would be a great way to knockoff the fancy children's brands!<br />

<br />
The hearts were a cute shape for girls pants, but I think circles,
squares, triangles, and hexagons would look great on clothing for both
girls and boys. Do you have any clothing items that could be revived with a quick craft?<br />

I saw the panel for this bag in my local quilt shop about six weeks ago, but I didn't buy it when I first saw it. I kept thinking about it for weeks, so I finally went back, and bought the very last one! It's a panel with instructions to make the bag, but there were a few other supplies I needed, like the fabric for the lining and the binding. The panel also comes with some trick-or-treaters printed on it, which I think I'll save for future projects. Maybe for Halloween bibs, or an applique on a kid dress?<br />

Before I cut into my panel, I traced the pattern onto paper for future use. I feel like if we have additional children down the line, they're going to want a trick-or-treat bag just like their sister! <br />
<br />
The example in the shop was quilted all over in a random walk. I decided to quilt mine by outlining the house and trees. <br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
The next step after quilting was to make button holes for the lights to poke through. The ladies at the shop gave me the great advice to lay out the lights first and make sure they would reach from one hole to the next. I also took into account they would need to go from one side of the bag to the other. 20 button holes later, and I had officially doubled the number of button holes I've ever sewn in my life. Thankfully my machine has settings to make it easy!<br />

From there I just followed the directions, and it came together quickly! I think I might be more excited about this than Savannah, but oh well :) It's cute, but I also like that it adds some safety on Halloween! Also, the light are easy to remove, so it can go through the washer if it gets grubby.<br />

If you want to make your own, look online for <a href="http://www.northcott.com/product-detail.aspx?fbid=1&colid=960&colorid=1529" target="_blank">Northcott Fabric's Happy Halloween</a> collection by Julie Dobson Miner. The bat fabric I used for the lining and the stripe I used for the binding are both from the <a href="http://www.wilmingtonprints.com/our-fabrics/our-fabrics/fall-market-2015/here-for-the-boos" target="_blank">Here for the Boos</a> line from Wilmington Prints.

Because Savannah is 2 1/2 right now, I thought this would be a perfect time to come out with an <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/469555734/octopus-costume-pattern-for-toddlers-2-4?ref=shop_home_active_2" target="_blank">updated pattern</a>!<br />

I made this costume as close to Hank's coloring as possible, using an <a href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1182894228" target="_blank">orange knit with red dots</a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1182894734" target="_blank">1/2" red pom pom fringe</a>. I went with a smaller pom pom size for this costume, but I sort of wish I had used the larger size. Etsy had a great selection of polka dot knits (I bought from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MagicFabricDesigns" target="_blank">Magic Fabric Designs</a>) as well as pom pom fringe (from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/CreativeTrims" target="_blank">Creative Trims</a>), and at reasonable prices! I was much happier with the selection on Etsy than at JoAnn or Fabric.com.<br />

In honor of this very special day, I'm sharing five delicious recipes that use coffee as an ingredient. My father-in-law is a Peet's Coffee employee, and this week I helped him set up a display in one of his busiest stores to share these recipes. Of course you can use other brands than Peet's, but we are definitely fans!<br />
<br />
My family has been making Black Russian Cake since I was a kid, and my Mom even shipped one to me at college for my 21st birthday! We are also huge fans of the Southwestern Steak and Peppers recipe, to the extent that I made an entire jar of the spice rub to keep on hand.<br />
<br />
Enjoy! <br />

Now I get to share it with you!<br />

I made this quilt for a young man who played sports throughout high school and college. He wanted to remember those years, but didn't feel the need to keep wearing shirts and jerseys from high school and college. He delivered more than 30 shirts to me, and I got to work!<br />
<br />
I started by washing and drying all the shirts. All of my quilts are designed to be machine washable, so I wanted to make sure anything that might happen to the shirts would happen before I started the quilt. One of the jerseys was ruined in the wash - the lettering fell off! The rest came out just fine.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Next, I cut the shirts into 12.5" squares (to make 12" finished squares). Two of the shirts has a somewhat larger design, so I made a double-sized block that combined a larger design with a smaller one. I layered the thinnest jerseys over t-shirt knit recycled from the plain backs of other shirts. <br />
<br />
I laid everything out in my living room, and arranged and rearranged until I liked how the colors were distributed. Then I got to sewing! Large 12" blocks generally come together easily, but because all the fabrics were different - some silky, some thick, and all with different amount of stretch - I did a LOT of pinning to make sure they would come together nicely. I don't know many quilters who work with high-performance athletic materials!<br />
<br />
I chose royal purple minkie for the backing, and a thick batting. This quilt is designed for ultimate comfort!<br />
<br />
To quilt the layers together, I sewed a 2" plus sign in each of the corners. This allows the quilt to be able to stretch, but still keeps everything from moving around during washing.<br />

<br />
I bound the quilt with black jersey knit. This step took me over a year...it might be time to learn machine binding. Toddlers don't help the process either :)<br />
<br />
I really love how this quilt came out. It's fun, super comfortable and snuggly, and a great way to hold onto fond memories (without wearing your old jerseys in public).<br />

This <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress_%28viral_phenomenon%29" target="_blank">article </a>does a good job of describing the whole event.<br />
<br />
In any case, I immediately knew I wanted this to be my Halloween costume. Initially, I envisioned making a dress half in white and gold, and half in blue and black, but I had trouble finding lace in both colors, and it seemed like a lot of work for a one-time Halloween costume.<br />
<br />
Instead, I decided to buy an inexpensive dress and go from there. I ordered six gently-used royal blue dresses from <a href="http://www.thredup.com/r/F8HIQ6" target="_blank">ThredUp</a>. When they arrived, three didn't fit right and one was actually purple, but one was pretty darn close! My Mom made a matching jacket for it, so it could be as similar to the original dress as possible.<br />
<br />
What do you think of my version of the dress?<br />

There are pros and cons to all of them, but overall their prices and selections are fairly equal. We experienced issues with Target not removing purchased items from the registry, and ended up with several identical bath towels, etc., which was kind of awkward at the shower and resulted in exchanging many items. I found returns via Amazon to be cumbersome. I didn’t use Buy Buy Baby but I have friends who like them. Babies R Us has probably been my favorite for registry stuff. I've found <a href="http://diapers.7eer.net/c/76875/83376/2052">Diapers</a> to be a good combination of fast shipping, low prices, and easy returns.</span></div>

We were fortunate to know some families who had moved past the infant stage, and passed along tons of clothing and baby items. A lot of stuff doesn’t get used for more than a few months, and gets very little wear. Ask friends if you can borrow or trade items, or look on Craigslist, neighborhood lists, thrift stores, or ask other parents at day care. The bassinet we used has now been used by five babies!</span><br />

I did the math and realized I'd have a 5-month-old for Halloween 2014, and decided right then that the baby <i>had </i>to be an octopus! Plus, at 5 months old, she'd have good head control but not be mobile...perfect for an octopus!<br />

I also have a soft spot in my heart for all things ocean-related. This was my idea of fun in college.<br />

My Mom was recently in town helping transition me back into work and the baby into daycare. We came up with an octopus costume design, and she drafted a pattern and made it! The baby's legs are two of the legs, and a removable belt holds the other six legs. We used ball fringe as cute suckers. We also topped off the costume, literally, with a hat featuring giant googly eyes. SO CUTE!!!<br />

<br />
The belt comes off for diaper changes, car seats, or irritated infants. I plan to move the velcro as she grows so the legs will be useable as a dress-up prop for years to come. <br />

<br />
If you want to make your own, the pattern is for sale in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/BonnieProjects?ref=hdr" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a>. It's beginner-level! <br />
<br />
As a bonus, it turns out the legs also make great baby toys. Savannah loved them!<br />

<br />
One thing I'm looking forward to using is a Boppy pillow. The Boppy and cover that comes with it are both washable, but I wanted a fresh and cute new cover. Mom offered to make one while she was in town visiting.<br />
<br />
The Boppy cover is made of three pieces of fabric and a long zipper. It looked like it could be simplified though, especially if we used knit instead of a non-stretchy fabric. <br />
<br />
We bought 3/4 of a yard of knit fabric and a 20-inch zipper for the project.<br />
<br />
Using the original cover as a pattern, she cut out C-shaped pieces from a cute polka-dot knit. She glossed over that third piece in the original pattern. <br />
<br />

<br />
She pinned the two sides together, sewed it around the edge, and installed the zipper. She made sure to use a stretch needle to get a nice stitch.<br />

She snipped the seam allowance inside the C so that it would allow for more give.<br />

<br />
And then we had a brand new boppy cover! This one is fresh and new, and much softer than the original. <br />

<br />
But the white glue-covered walls weren't doing it for me either.<br />
<br />
My Mom just spent a week with us, joining me at a few awesome baby showers, and helping us finish up projects around the house. Painting this bathroom was on her list!<br />
<br />
Nothing is ever easy at our house, and this was no exception. The wallpaper had been installed before the baseboards, so Mom had to remove the caulk and cut away the wallpaper with a razor blade. Then she had to re-caulk everything. I hate these little projects that take up time and don't have awesome-looking results, but it had to be done!<br />
<br />
Instead of wiping the wallpaper glue off the walls, we decided to seal it in with oil-based primer. It's pretty stinky, but it did the job! If we had skipped the primer, there was a good chance the glue would reactivate with latex paint, causing bubbles.<br />
<br />
Finally came the paint! We used Sherwin Williams Emerald line of paint in matte finish, in the color Quietude. I liked this color because it was soothing and pretty, could be mixed with jazzy colors like yellow, and played well with the vanity. I also felt like it was a safe choice since it was on the same card as Rainwashed, a color we've used in three rooms in our house.<br />
<br />
Let's see some before and after's!<br />

What a difference!<br />
<br />
It looks much cleaner and brighter. The vanity top doesn't read as tan as it did before, and now the tub looks white instead of a dull grey. <br />
<br />
Mom also spray painted the cabinet mirror. She removed it, taped off the edges, and gave it two coats of silver spray paint we had hanging out in the basement. It was a dull gold before, and an easy change, but made the mirror really blend with the new paint color.<br />

<br />
So you might be asking, what's the deal with the vanity? We're not in love with the countertop, but it's in good shape and not overly offensive. I priced out replacing it with natural stone, like granite or marble, but even using a remnant for this tiny space came to a cost of over $700! We decided the original counter was just fine, and chose a wall color that would go with it.<br />
<br />
The next project in here is restaining the vanity! Stay tuned!

I shopped around last fall, and was shocked that 1) upholstered gliders are really expensive, and 2) they don’t usually come slipcovered. I wasn’t prepared to spend upwards of $800 for a chair. I also couldn’t believe that a piece of furniture used primarily for nursing didn’t come slipcovered! Wouldn’t the fabric get gross over time?!?<br /><br />I perused Craigslist for several weeks, and eventually came across a $50 glider/recliner. When I went to check it out, I found it to be the perfect size for my petite frame, and super comfortable. Sold!</span></span></span></div>

I’m not going to walk you through making a slipcover here - there are very talented people out there with excellent instructions. But I do want to share some tips and tricks I came up with along the way that took my slipcover from “gets the job done” to “pro-style”!<br /><br />Don’t say I didn’t warn you: making a slipcover is not easy, or fast, or even cheap (8 yards of fabric adds up quickly!). But if you have the skills and patience, it can be very rewarding! This project cost $80 in fabric, another $20 in supplies like velcro and elastic, and about 15 hours of work.</span></span></span></div>

I had a little over one yard left over, which I plan to use to make a matching dog bed.<br /><br />If your fabric is directional (mine couldn’t be turned 90 degrees without losing the pattern), and especially if it can only be placed in one direction (up must be up), you should order more fabric than suggested.</span></span></span><br />

Many upholstery fabrics recommend dry-cleaning only, even though they are 100% cotton. This is because they shrink. A lot. <br /><br />Cut a sample of your fabric and run it through a normal wash and dry cycle to see what happens. If it comes out OK, wash and dry all of your fabric to pre-shrink it. I cut my fabric into two 4-yard pieces to wash it.<br /><br />My fabric shrunk 5%. If I hadn’t pre-shrunk it, it probably wouldn’t fit on the chair again after its first washing!</span></span></span><br />

To give it a clean edge, I velcroed the fabric around the bottom of the chair. One side of the velcro was attached to the slipcover, and the other side of the velcro was stapled to the inside of the chair. This gave the finished product a beautiful and clean edge, but the slipcover is still 100% removable.</span></span></span></div>

This was because the rubber cover had torn, leaving raw metal exposed. I fixed this by making the lever it’s own padded slipcover. Look, it's camouflaged!</span></span></span><br />

<br />
But there have been a few delays, so here's another post on the progress that has been made!<br />
<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Drywall:</h3>
<ul>
<li>The uncovered the recessed light and air vent that got covered up. I'm glad we've been touring the basement daily, and noticed these before more work was done!</li>
<li>Everything has been primed, so it's ready for us to paint. Painting the room ourselves will save over $1,000! </li>
</ul>

<h3>
Baseboards:</h3>
<ul>
<li>We had been planning to install our own 5" baseboards after we put in the floors.</li>
<li>A message got lost somewhere, and 3.5" baseboards were installed by surprise.</li>
<li>But they look really nice, they're done, and we don't have to pay for them or do them ourselves, so this was a nice surprise! </li>

<h3>
Siding:</h3>
<ul>
<li>The siding guys were here for four days, and we now have new siding! </li>
<li>We had to have a little conversation about how they used my landscaped flower beds as their workspace. Come on guys, what's wrong with working in grass? Are bushes and flowers really that much better of a place to set up your tools and work area? Now I've added "fix back yard landscaping" to my never ending pre-baby to-do list.</li>

What's left?</h3>
<ul>
<li>A little bit of touching up drywall</li>
<li>Installing the patio lights</li>
<li>Installing fresh outlets </li>
<li>Finishing the recessed lights</li>
<li>Installing gutters </li>
</ul>
<br />
After three days of rain, sleet, snow, and wind, we have some good news and bad news. Good news: the leak that started this whole project is gone! Bad news: The new French door isn't watertight, so there's a new leak. Big sad face :(<br />

<br />
<h3>
Recessed Lighting</h3>
<ul>
<li>We now have receptacles for six recessed lights in the basement!</li>
<li>Hopefully they don't look like this once it's all said and done</li>
<li>I also noticed while taking photos for this post that they drywalled over one of the lights! </li>

<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Other Electrical</h3>
<ul>
<li>We moved the patio light upstairs to be centered between the sliding doors</li>
<li>We added a light downstairs</li>
<li>The kids bathroom upstairs had the vent fan and light on the same switch, so you were forced to use the fan at all times. We had the fan put on its own switch. Silence is golden!</li>
</ul>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Sliding doors fixed</h3>
<ul>
<li>The door guys came out and fixed the issue with the handles being different heights</li>
<li>The doors being 1/2" different is not easy to fix, and was a result of all the water damage, so it looks like we're simply stuck with that issue. </li>
</ul>

Plumbing</h3>
<ul>
<li>There used to be a rigged-up method for watering the plants on the upper deck. It was a 2" plastic hose threaded through the deck and attached with a 2x4 to the house. It looked really amateur.</li>
<li>The plumber put a real pipe in the exterior wall of the house and added a real spigot on the upper deck. Once the siding guys come through, it'll all be pretty and perfect!</li>

Not that we have a kid yet, but when she comes, this will be her bathroom.<br />
<br />
When I finished removing the wallpaper, I did a little "We're Wallpaper Free!" scream similar to a Dave Ramsey debt-free scream. There is NO MORE WALLPAPER in our house!!! <br />

Before now, all we've done is add a piece of art and a shower curtain. Both are in good shape and we like them, but they might not stay in here after the redecorating. <br />
<br />
We've been holding off on this room because it was one of the least offensive in the house. But then I thought about how torn up the walls were every other time we removed wallpaper, and how the drywall guy for our basement remodel was coming soon (and could patch any holes I made), and decided to go with it!<br />

The DIY gods were in our favor, because this wallpaper was SO EASY to remove. It came off in huge sheets! All the other wallpaper in this house has come off in tiny annoying little pieces and it took tens of hours to finish a single room. This room was done in 20 minutes!<br />

There's still glue on the walls, but I'm going to try putting an oil-based primer right over the glue to seal it in. And by "I", I mean Tommy since it's full of VOCs and unhealthy for a pregnant lady.<br />
<br />
We have a few other cosmetic changes in the queue for this bathroom:<br />
<ul>
<li>Paint Walls </li>
<li>Touch up Baseboards</li>
<li>Paint Vanity</li>
<li>Install new towel bar(s)</li>
<li>Lighten the Grout</li>
<li>Install new granite/marble counter</li>
</ul>
<br />
I have no idea where to go color-wise, so if you have any ideas, please let me know!<br />

Sweet little Brooks is the second child for our friends. I made his old brother, Brecken, an Eye-Spy quilt a few years back.<br />

Since the family already has an Eye-Spy quilt (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/70604723/eye-spy-baby-quilt-kit?" target="_blank">you can make your own</a>), I thought I'd mix it up a little with this one!<br />
<br />
The pattern is called <a href="http://www.dogwooddesigns.biz/home1.html" target="_blank">Zoo Sunsets</a>, and was designed by my Mom. Her design calls for the animals to be solid black, and placed on top of sunset prints. I've been more interested in modern quilts lately, so I mixed it up a little, making the animals out of bright prints and putting them on a white background.<br />
<br />
I also modified her quilt by shrinking it to be crib-sized.<br />
<br />
She usually traces and cuts the shapes by hand, but I wanted to try using a Silhouette. I transferred her images to the Silhouette Studio software, and had my Silhouette Cameo cut them out for me. To be perfectly honest, it didn't do a good job, and it was more of a pain to transfer the images, clean them up, and deal with the sub-par cutting job than it would have been to just use my Mom's tried and true method.<br />
<br />
But anyways! After that I had my animals, and was able to put the quilt together!<br />

Not all of it is perfect though, and one thing I've learned is this: If you can be home for your remodel, DO IT!!!<br />
<br />
I've been able to telework for 2 of the 5 days they've been at our house. The days I was there, I learned a lot about where the leak was coming from and how bad the damage really was. I also learned how people cut corners, mess stuff up, and don't necessarily respect your property. I saw a lot of things I otherwise would never have known about.<br />
<br />
Also this: If you can't be there all day, go over all the work EVERY NIGHT with a fine-toothed comb.<br />
<br />
So, what's been done?<br />
<br />
<h3>
New sliding doors in the living room </h3>
<ul>
<li>They broke the old one getting it out. If I hadn't seen it shatter, I probably would have wondered about all those glass chunks under the couch for years....</li>
<li>The door handles were 5" different. Yeah that's gotta get fixed!</li>
<li>The doors are installed 1/2" different in height. Jury's out on the solution for this one.</li>
<li>In general, I'm expecting at least one door will have to be completely removed and replaced. </li>
</ul>

<h3>
New French door in the basement </h3>
<ul>
<li>It's so pretty!!!</li>
<li>The panes are definitely smaller than the original sliding door, but we were willing to sacrifice view to have the French door down here. Good thing we added that window!</li>
</ul>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Structural Work</h3>
<ul>
<li>It's not pretty. I guess that's why they invented drywall!</li>
<li>The corner of the header got crushed during installation. We brought it up to the contractor, and the ended up pulling it out, rotating it, and installing it where the crushed corner wouldn't take any of the load. </li>
<li>I also learned the extent of my Dad's engineering nerdiness, as he calculated the load on that crushed corner over the phone using his old textbooks that were copyrighted in 1914. From what he calculated, and how bad the damage was, apparently we're really lucky the whole house wasn't caving in before we started this project!</li>
<li>On the positive side, there's no more rotten wood! </li>
</ul>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
What was causing the leak</h3>
<ul>
<li>A big chunk of siding missing</li>
<li>No waterproofing under the sliding door </li>
</ul>

<h3>
Other issues and things I've noticed</h3>
<ul>
<li>Only one of three exterior lights I ordered was shipped. Good thing I opened the box and realized the error in time for them to send the other two before the electrician comes!</li>
<li>Subcontractors seem to be unreliable, and your contractor may have trouble getting in touch with them!</li>
<li>Keep an eye on how the guys treat your stuff. Yeah, my landscaping looks like crap right now because it's the end of winter. But that doesn't mean that throwing a sliding door on top of my crispy azaleas is OK!!! And they're really lucky they only set the saw on my pansies and not my peony!!! </li>
<li>If you want your furniture to survive your remodel, move it yourself and cover it well.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Everything I was ever warned about seems to be true. It's expensive, it's loud, it's stressful, and you need to keep a close eye on what's happening.<br />
<br />
I've already made Tommy promise we won't ever do a project bigger than this if we can help it! <br />

We've never felt our master closet was an efficient use of space, but then another section collapsed over the weekend and this project jumped to the top of the list!<br />
<br />
This closet was initially built as two reach-ins, but the previous homeowners converted it to be a walk-in. Making the nook a walk-in meant that there would be a window in the closet, a problem they solved by covering the window with a blackout roller shade. There is also a floor vent that can't be covered up.<br />
<br />

Here are the "before" photos. Keep in mind the closet had just collapsed!!! The closet felt cramped and wasn't efficient. Plus I couldn't even reach the long hanging bar on the back wall. The part that collapsed had been holding my knee-length dresses.<br />

The roller shade successfully blocked the light and gave privacy, but the window treatment didn't match the others than can be seen from the front of the house. Tacky!<br />

Not only did we need to rearrange the closet for better efficiency, we also needed to fix the window situation.<br />
<br />
Keeping the window useable would mean losing a LOT of space. We would also have to be careful about sunlight hurting our clothes, and making sure the window treatments would allow for plenty of privacy. It was a tough choice, but in the end we chose function over form and decided to "delete" the window.<br />
<br />
We decided to use an Elfa system for the closet. This presented yet another challenge because the standards would have to hang in front of the window space. They need to be flush to the wall, so we had to get creative!<br />
<br />
So that the standard could lay flush to the wall, we cut notches in the top and bottom of the window frame.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Jumping ahead a little here, but here's what it looked liked once the Elfa was installed. See how the notch allows the standard to be flush with the wall?<br />

Now to fix the tacky window situation.<br />
<br />
We bought 2" plantation blinds to match the blinds in our bedroom (I've used <a href="http://www.justblinds.com/" target="_blank">Just Blinds</a> for years and am happy with their service, pricing, and quality). There wasn't space to be able to install and use the mechanical system, so we cut the blinds off of the support bar. We screwed the tapes to the top of the window frame so that the blinds would lay flush inside the window. Even with the blinds were closed, light still penetrated, and could possibly fade our clothing. We cut the blackout shade off the roller and stapled it to the window frame. No more light!<br />

The blackout shade isn't very pretty, but clothes will be hanging in front of it, so we decided it wasn't worth the extra effort to make it look nice.<br />
<br />
Now all the window treatments look identical from the outside of the house. <br />
<br />

<br />
The previous owners had attached 1x4 boards to the wall to shore up their closet bars (which actually didn't work - this part of the closet collapsed the day we moved in). We damaged the wall in the process of removing the boards, but four skim coats later we were back in business. Tommy also touched up the paint here and there to make everything fresh and pretty.<br />

<br />
So, what about the design of the new closet? <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc-kE2TA9s3twao2U20q1T9IrsrQPwtco1R-MAlXLIAnA06J2OgXhdcRpoJK9lfXr3QUDpFyfV7OhQ0THedac9gEo_IR1KSnQ6trB9idz9t9yLYXhXxi1Lhw_cUdlnRQ2bSTlkpkrMgTR2/s1600/Master+Closet+After.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc-kE2TA9s3twao2U20q1T9IrsrQPwtco1R-MAlXLIAnA06J2OgXhdcRpoJK9lfXr3QUDpFyfV7OhQ0THedac9gEo_IR1KSnQ6trB9idz9t9yLYXhXxi1Lhw_cUdlnRQ2bSTlkpkrMgTR2/s1600/Master+Closet+After.png" height="398" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The old closet had a double rod on an entire wall, plus 48" of long
hanging that was split between a rod I could reach and one that I
couldn't. The new design kept the 48" of long hanging, but placed it
low enough for me to reach. It also allowed us to add a 31" double rod,
or 62" of additional hanging space for short garments.<br />
<br />
The dresser does partially block access to some of the hanging space, but we'll keep off-season and lesser-worn clothes back there. Like all my non-maternity stuff!!! <br />
<br />
We installed the Elfa system according to the directions - it went up really easily with two people working on it!<br />
<br />

Finally we loaded it up! I separated Tommy's stuff by type - polos, dress shirts, sweaters, and outwear. Right now, my stuff is organized by whether it fits my pregnant belly or not, so I had plenty of items that could be moved into the hard-to-reach areas.<br />
<br />
The laundry basket tucks nicely under my knee-length dresses, and I bought a <a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop/laundry/stepStoolsLadders?productId=10025591" target="_blank">folding stool</a> to help us reach those upper shelves (but that tucks away when we don't need it)<br />

I also sorted everything by color to make it look less jumbled. I've successfully gotten us out of using wire hangers (the ones from dry cleaning get put into a box for recycling), and now I'm working on getting rid of the plastic hangers in favor of the velvet huggable kind. It looks so much less cluttered and is much more enjoyable to use when all the hangers are nice. I think he's set for blue dress shirts for a while!<br />

Was it worth it? We spent $200 on the Elfa system and $50 on the plantation blinds. We reused the blackout roller shade, and already had the joint compound and white paint, so those were "free". This project took us about 8 hours total, but much of that was spent patching the wall. It would have taken only 2-3 hours if we had been able to skip the wall patching and just focused on the blinds and closet installation. We had to be really creative with the window treatment situation, as well as devising a way to get the standards to be flush to a wall, even over a window. Thankfully, it all worked out great, and now we have a super efficient closet that doesn't look tacky from the outside of the house!<br />
