I should became I did ...

I'm always telling myself, "I should do that . . .", so in late May I came up with a list of all those "should's".

You only see a part of the list on my iPad, but you also see a lot of checks because the month of June has been spent turning "should's" into "did's".

I finally got around to painting the second coat on the dining room chairs - that's our house guest, Miss Violet.

I checked off painting red clay pots and also moving the baker's rack off the porch and into the garden.

Organizing the attic (not finished, but getting there) led me to an old basket which got a fresh coat of paint and polka dots.

And I was able to check off adding beach toys to our summer porch - now we just need some kiddos to drop by.

Two items got checked off when I repainted the bathroom shelves and created a cute vignette on one of the shelves.

 I bought the tall black candlestick last fall and finally checked painting it off my list.

Changing the message on the chalkboard in the guest room

 was an easy fix

as was painting a set of candlesticks.

For the longest time I have wanted to dress up a plain white set of pillow cases I found in the attic and I finished those last night.

No pattern, just crocheting away and not worrying about making the guest room pillow cases match.

And now, enough showing off my projects because that list just got longer.

Steve and one of my former teaching colleagues ( click here to see her home) are holding an Open Studio at our house and there are so many things I "should" do.
