After about an hour of reading through everyone else's complaints on the same issue I found the suggestion to switch to a new editor, and it seems to have worked for now.
At any rate, I have a lot of catching up to do!
We'll start with the most recent:
Halloween festivities: carving pumpkins
Connor's Spider Hat he made in preschool:
Trick-or-treating: Yes, Carson is a ghost again. Add it to the list of amazing costumes worn by this child.
Another reason I have been absent from the blog: Project #1 sanding down and restaining the crib.
Before:
After the sanding:
Color of first try...
I put about 5 coats on (with sanding inbetween each) and decided it was just getting redder and redder and redder, which is NOT the look I was going for. So... I sanded it down again. Thanks mom for your great suggestions and now I can actually get the color I want!
Finished product TBD..... (Still waiting for a sunny day to be able to work)
Project #2: Sanding and restaining the dresser/changing table:
Before:
Finished product also TBD. It only needs a couple coats of poly and then it is officially done! What a project to be completing at 8 months pregnant! My neighbors all think I am crazy....
Project #3:
Creating the rest of the nursery
Luckily, I have the best mom who came out to help me continue the tradition of a fun nursery. We got a little crazy this time around though. Who would have thought two moms (one a grandma, one hugely pregnant) could cut and put up a room full of mouldings alone? We thought we could, and we did it! It looks amazing, thanks mom!
Before (notice the tiny baseboards and lack of crown moulding and trim?):
After:
Yeah right. Like I am going to post a picture without any furniture. It just won't do the whole project justice. You just have to check back soon to see what the WHOLE thing looks like all together! :)
Well that has been what I have been doing for the past two months, but we will certainly keep you updated from here on out (now that I can post again).
Hope everyone is healthy and well!
