The Unintentional Accomplishments

Wow, where does the time go?! It feels like just yesterday I was throwing my Little Mister his birthday party, telling myself that May was never going to come, and that I was never going to see my Soldier again. I know, Woe is me, right? It's definitely been an interesting few months. So hard to believe May is only two months away now! Less, considering March is almost over. 

I have been keeping ridiculously busy with a two year old running rampant in my house, the November-January 'vacation' to see family, and all the crazy things life has been throwing at me. The biggest of which was the homecoming gift of a bathroom that had been leaking for who-knows-how-long, causing the floor to rot, and a whole bunch of other fun, exciting things. Too bad sarcasm doesn't translate as well online... 

I also started taking some classes online working towards a Medical Office Assisting degree, which is turning out to be much more enjoyable than I expected, even though it has put all my crafty fun and home fixings to a stand-still. I still find time to do the odd job here and there, but it's really not as much as I wish I could be doing. 

So far the random bits I have successfully completed have been:

Painting the closet door in my living-room that was eating up all the light:

Making an Easter wreath:

Making the first of a set of kitchen art:

making a sock drawer organizer:

Re-finishing a piggy bank my sister bought my Little Mister:

Sanding and re-finishing the hutch in my kitchen. 

Spray painting the tins my wonderful mother sent me for my kitchen storage.

Making letter magnets for a friends daughter for Easter.

I will add pictures of each of these once they actually decide to upload from my phone... How many of these were actually on my 'to do' list I made when he left? Hahaha. 

I suppose some accomplishments sneak up on you when you're supposed to be doing other things. ;)

I look forward to sharing more with you soon.
