mama was here.

So, grandma (or gama) came to town.  And boy did some things get done.
lots of shopping was had.  many little and big projects were checked off the list.
and home now feels a little more homey.

evidence mama (or gama) was here:

a new fall wreath was made to spice up our front door.

Quinn's curtains were made. (full room reveal coming very soon)

The nursery rocker was revamped with a removable sage dot cover on the ottoman.

pillow covers were made and brighten up the living space.

kitchen curtains were made.

painting was done. fun light fixtures were hung.  more to come on this project...

I fully intended to 'insert picture here' of Quinny in her new outfit.  Yup, the yellow bubble skirt with grey striped shirt, leggings and aqua headband have come home.  Thanks to grandma and grandpa. :)  And grandma's suitcase went back to Florida half empty as well.  New jammies and clothes are always crazy appreciated around here. :)

While my mom was here other projects were in the works as well.  Finally, some updates are in store from the new house soon.  Quinn's room is complete.  The playroom is almost complete.  The guest room and guest bath are almost complete.  Lots of in the middle projects.  Our fireplace got a little face lift too.

Amidst the busy week of projects there was also lots of time spent together, and with cousins too.  (my sister and kiddos popped down for a weekend visit).  We also were able to share my 31st birthday together, and enjoyed some scrumptious cupcakes. :)

Looking around our home its so warming to see the marks made by family.  The new curtains will always have an invisible permanent etching of "mama was here".

Thanks mom. :)
