Yesterday, Jack and I went over to Champaign to do some shopping. Jack hates shopping--really he hates anything that takes place outside of our home--but he rose to the occasion and was a great shopping buddy. Although he did say more than once, "This is the LAST store we are going to!" Anyway, I have recently become of a student of the design school of
THE NESTER and I have been inspired to find yummy, but inexpensive, fabric to add to home in the way of pillows and window "mistreatments." So, Jack and I went to Hancock Fabrics and found some lovely remnants that would look great in my soon to be stylish master bedroom. (Calling it a "master bedroom" seems a little ridiculous considering it's size.) Well, Hancock came through for me. I hit the remnant table which is ordinarily cheap, but yesterday, it was 50% off. I got 2 yards of fabric for $8.50. The first picture is a true representation of the goldy/tanny color. The second one is so you can see the texture. By the way, we went to Hancock and I saw these fabrics and talked myself out of buying them. After lunch, I talked myself back into them and went back. If I hadn't purchased them, I would have been trekking over to Champaign again today!


Doesn't this cinnamon roll look delicious. I made them for the boys this morning. Then I checked it's WW points value. 8 points. For one. I can have 18 in a whole day. I didn't eat it. Dang.

Just to prove that I am, in fact, painting my kitchen cabinets, here is a picture. It is a slow process and the hinges are going to be the end of me. I bought new ones and they are the EXACT same size as the ones I took off. Do my doors shut properly when I replace them? No. Of course not. Why? Just to drive me crazy, I guess. Hopefully the project will be done tomorrow. But I wouldn't count on it.

Great cabinets! I love them! Darn hinges though! Good luck and be sure to show pictures of before and after when you're done! I can't wait to see the finished product!
GREAT self control.... I need to learn from you! You didn't eat a cinnamon roll?! You RULE!
Smiles,
