Projects in the works

I've been so busy with my etsy and whoopdwhoop shops oh! and camping.. ad Easter outfits and ...and.. and.. Does it EVER END???!?!?!?!? NOpe. And I don't think I want it to. I have ideas in my head about EVERYTHING >>>> it drives me bonkers at times because I want to do so many things but don't ever have the time [or money] to do it. With 2 boys under 3 that takes a good majority of my time. But I LOVE THEM! So here are the things I have promised to finish this week.. [and not in any particular order]

*clean and organize the kitchen [time to bust out the cleaners, boxes and silhouette !]
*finish organizing the boys' room
*finish our headboard
*update my blog[s] - yes I have more than one, don't we all? LOL!]
*make 3 hats [fill orders]
*reupholster the dining room chairs

What projects have YOU started or thought about starting??? Go get it done!!!

what to do with a door?!

I've been wanting to make a headboard for our bed. Ever since we got rid of our cal-king water bed we've been sleeping on just box spring and mattress.. well those are set on a simple frame too. So no more head-board for us :( [I say 'just' as if our bed isn't nice.. it is, just no headboard] I've been DYING to purchase a door, but they are just so dog-gone expensive! I was driving to pick my hubby up from work a few weeks ago and saw a door chillin' on the side of the road, propped up on a tree labeled "free". As I drove past my inner craftiness yelled "MINE ! MINE! MINE! GRAB IT!!!!!!'' So I quickly stopped. Sitting in the car I thought, ''what are you thinking?!'' ''what will Cameron say???'' ''where are you putting this door?'' I almost didn't get out of the car to claim it as my own..... but what the heck?! It's free, I need one.. I have been looking for on for 3 years... DO IT! GRAB IT! And if it didn't work out, I can always toss it or label it free for someone else. So it is mine! Since then it has sat in my living room, taunting me..... pleading with me to just get it made already! [or at least started!] But what to do???? Still not sure. sorry to disappoint my readers... I haven't figured it out yet, so I guess this post is a bit of a tease... but I assure you, I'll be working on it this week to come up with a plan. AND if I'm able to remember to take pics along the way, I'll make a tutorial for you. tutorials are hard for me cuz when I get into my creative groove it's hard for me to stop in the middle of it.. that really throws off my creativeness. but I'll see what i can get done :) My ''theme'' of the master bedroom is a nautical one. but I'm leaning more towards a captain's quarters. Any ideas?
