Unfinished Projects

Sorry to go MIA on you guys last week... Honestly I'm not 100% sure what happened, but I've been working on a few different projects and apparently they are getting the best of me.  Well, that and work, bridal showers, preparing for trips, cleaning, life, etc... You get it.  I know you do! 


If you follow me on Isntagram (@lmmblog) you probably have seen almost everything in this post!  Almost!  But before we do that...  This weekend, I went home to Fort Wayne for a Bridal Shower for my cousin.  The shower was great... I won no games, but it was still fun and always good to see the fam!  But I do have to share my "bag" because we couldn't find anything that we liked for wrapping so I added this to the brown paper bag we got for $4 at Target. 



It's not perfect, but I'm really getting into the lettering or whatever they are calling it these days.  It's fun, and almost relaxing! 

So... now that I've bragged on myself it's time to make fun of myself too...










Do any of you practice the art of finishing one thing before you  start another? 
Yea, me either...
So I have about 4 projects going at the moment...
And we might tackle one more...


Not this week though because it's gonna be a hot one!


But... here are a few sneaks of what I've been working on...





I've been trying to finish this outdoor rug for about 3 weeks now.  The project is not difficult, but when you are doing it in your driveway...that's off of an alley where all the kids play...and the kids keep stepping in your tape and messing up your pattern... and asking you questions... you just want to throw it in the garage and call it a day!  Which I've done many times in the last 3 weeks, hence why it's not done!  So... Here's a sneak at that which I'm hoping to finish this week (along with the 7362 other things on my to do list).





You may have also seen sneaks via Instagram of my new outdoor table.  I haven't shared much on it yet because it's un-styled and I'm unsure on it's placement.  However, both myself & Ella are very much enjoying it.  More to come on that with the Patio Update.









And in order to create the outdoor table, I had to dismantle the desk in my office pantry that I just shared a couple weeks ago. I needed the legs.  But don't worry, I found these little pretties at the Goodwill Outlet and they will soon have a new color and home!  So excited for this office pantry update (if it ever happens!)!





Then there's my lover.  My new island.  I bought it back in like March and it's been sitting the garage.  It was $60 and needs a new top, but I immediately saw it and thought Island & "I can do that!"  We shall see... I recently brought it in to make sure it fit in our house (and thank god it did, otherwise we'd be eating at the island in the garage because I love it so much I will never let it go!) and it's been here ever since.  Ella doesn't even realize there's another table to eat at because it's always here.  And don't worry, we cleaned that bad boy with all we had to make sure it was ok to use.  Soon though this handsome thing will have a new butcher block counter!  EEEEK!





And lastly -- although I'm sure if I went around my house there are a few more unfinished projects -- we have a couple minor updates for Ell's Room & PlayLand. 


Now, if my house were just semi clean.... I could share their new homes...
Don't worry "clean house" is on my to do list at all times!
