So many Projects.... To Do!

I lately feel like I'm attempting to be a Jill-of-all-trades kinda mom.  I'm hyped to get started in woodworking because I want to build some furniture.  I want to reupholster our nasty couches.


Last year I took a cake decorating class, and have some of those to come up in the future.




 I also want to sand and repaint our coffee table and contemplating our kitchen cabinets.  I want to make some felt playhouses and quiet books for my kids and I need to start another quilt.  So to put it in list form:

Cake decorator
Baker
Carpenter-make some furniture
Seamstress-felt playhouse and quiet books
Reupholstery-redo my couches
Refinisher-coffee table and kitchen cabinets

I also need to get busy and practice the piano some more.  Too ambitious much?  It'll be fun, but those are things that I'm just craving to do.  The problem too is that with our small house, I do not have a craft room or spare areas to be able to do these things.  We park both cars in the garage so I'd have to keep a car in the driveway if I want to play with wood in there, and my couches if I'm going to be redoing them, because there is no way in hades that I can do that in the house with the kids.


On a side note- Van now has 2 teeth that has come in and Scarlett is starting to pee in the toilet instead of her diaper.  Wahoo!  Now, if I could only keep up with housework, reading to my kids, reading for myself, praying with my kids, doing something educational with them, laundry, singing to them, play with them, making dinners, working out so that I can get rid of this nasty post-baby-bod before we get prego again.....so much to do!   Also, I did find an awesome way to store my breast milk in the freezer.  I put a small cutting board in the freezer so that I can lay down the milk bags flat in there while they freeze.  They are nice and flat this way and much more "organize-able".  It makes me happy.
