New Coffee Table!

The coffee table is finished! And I love it! When Byron brings home his tools this week I can finish my 2 side tables and I can bring my old non-matching furniture downstairs. Whoooo! 
 

I found the plans for this table at Knock Off Wood. I think it's one of the coolest blogs out there. There's so many nice things on there I want to build! Beds, bookshelves, nightstands ...Yeah, it's a pretty neat blog. Check it out!

Aaaahh!!

I knew I shouldn't be doing this while I was in a hurry.
Or while my mind was in lala land.
Because this is what happens to me then...
And now I'm going to put it away until another time when I don't get
that sinking feeling everytime I look at it. 
Why do I do these things to myself?? Why didn't I check more often??
Lesson learned.

In other happier news, I did get lots done this week. I finished a skirt for Madison, and started on a shirt for her, fixed some pants for Kaelynn, and I also built a coffee table.
Yep, that's right I built a coffee table.
I'm not done yet though, I still have to sand and stain it. I'm pretty excited to have a coffee table in our living room in the near future though!

We've had such beautiful weather lately and the kids are definitely taking advantage of it.
They often come in full of mud, but at least they can get outside and enjoy the fresh air.
