To-do lists are my favourite thing.
Crossing them off is therapeutic and making them makes me feel so much less overwhelmed, no matter how long the list is. I just saw the one I'd made for Lily's nursery this time last summer and smiled. It always gets done, even though it sometimes seems like it won't :)
This time around, we'll be in the process of finding and buying an apartment, so I can't do anything to the actual nursery/bedroom until we're settled in the new nest (and no one knows exactly when that will be... August? September? October? God-forbid November?). But there's lots of other things I can do to prepare for the boy's arrival and the room Lily will now be sharing...
3. sew his blanket
12. wooden toys - blocks, etc
14. paint/refurbish dresser for Lily
16. paint bed for Lily
17. find/buy mattress for Lily

23. paint spice racks from IKEA

25. find/buy/make LG a sock monkey
(if it's less than $10 or $15 I'm just buying it)
So mostly it's a LOT of painting and up-cycling of furniture.
Plus some sewing and a couple of purchases that aren't urgent.
Wonder if my dad will be up for painting some beds this summer?
ah I totally just got coral that exact sock monkey! We were in a thrift store and she found it and fell completely in love with it. Got it for $1.00
ReplyDeleteLaura that's awesome!!
ReplyDeleteTarget has them just like in the picture for $14.99, but I don't know if I want to pay that much... though I'm very disinterested in making them - I'm more of a straight-line-sewer :)
