My newest projects...Good Bye YELLOW!

Okay, do you all remember my BRIGHT YELLOW kitchen. Well when we decided to paint it about 7 months ago I thought it was going to be that perfect buttery pale yellow color that would be super adorable and easy to decorate. Well was I wrong. This kitchen gets a little TOO much light to let that pale "MELLOW YELLOW" hang out. So I was in search of tips, color and new decor.

Well, at Jared's work Christmas party this year at Noah's, I fell in LOVE with the paint. I asked around and found out the color and company. I have been told by several people that blue in the kitchen area is a major NO NO. Well, since when have I listened? Oh, never! So I thought I painted the kitchen 7 months ago, here's to trying something new and if I hate it again I can repaint...right? Well, this time I honestly LOVE it. It came on a tad darker than I thought it would so other than it being a little dark I absolutely LOVE it. The camera can't capture the right shade of color, so you will just have to come and see for yourself. I know, a blue kitchen! AHH

The first picture makes it look like a baby blue...which it's not. This picture is fuzzy but it gives more of the color, it's a light blue grey...I love it!

But here are my PRIDE AND JOY! The blue really brings out all the adorable BLACK that I have in furniture and accents, so I had to come up with some curtains...Here they are. I painted the kitchen and then immediatly headed to Hobby Lobby for fabric. I have been working hard ever since! I am just waiting for Jared to hang up my curtain rods so I can actually see all my hard sewing work come out. I can't wait to show everyone my finished project...maybe tomorrow. But yes, this is the reason why I haven't blogged for ever...I have found myself sewing...Oh, how I love to sew! :)

Funny kids...

I apparently haven't taught Jake clearly enough where these go!

Hey, it made for good pictures!

Here is Alayna wanting to be like Jake.

Does it get any cuter than seeing a kid praying? Not to mention that he has his underwear on wrong! Funny kid.

Here's to wishing and hoping...

Here are a few pictures of a little guy that is just wishing he could crawl...Thankfully he has yet to master that technique because we haven't solved the dilemma of a stair gate! We have a banister so we can't do the regular pressure kind, and we aren't to thrilled about drilling holes in the banister...any suggestions?

He's getting close!

He is 8 months next week and I can't believe how fast time flies. Today was a big day for him his very first tooth came through...maybe that could explain the extra crying and drooling? Oh, the joys of teething!
