Hearts for Home 4/11/11

     I am joining Gae once again in her Hearts for Home weekly list:) It really does help me keep my mind focused on extra little tasks that make the home more "Home-ier".

     1. I will try and finish up the last few touches on my quilt, then see if I can whip up a couple of pillow shams to match with the leftover squares. I am looking forward to searching for vintage hand sewn and trimmed white and pink pillow cases this summer, to make a truly old fassioned romantic place to lay our heads at night!
     2. We finally bought the matching nightstands that go with our bed (we have waited for about 4 years!) and I saved one of the large boxes that they came in. I am going to turn it into a little playhouse for my friends 3 year old for when he comes over with his mother to visit. I use to LOVE cardboard box houses when I was little, and sometimes in the winter my Dad would stop into the local appliance store to pick us up one to decorate as a little house in the basement:)
     3. I want to bake and freeze some sugar cookies, and use my new Easter cookie cutters, for the family Easter party and egg hunt later this month. I might also make up and freeze the 2 or 3 dozen rolls I want to bring. The less I have to do last minute the more I am able to enjoy the day. Not to mention, getting all stressed out is not good, I tend to be more apt to snap at my loving Poot, and I don't like it when I do that:(
     4. I am going to make Poot one of his favorite kinds of cake, just because. A chocolate cake with cool whip for icing. He is not a "frosting" man, and very much prefers cool whip, and he deserves a treat!
    
     So, with those things to keep me busy, I should have a pretty productive week! I look forward to the feeling I get, knowing I have done some nice work for my home:)
                                                                                   God Bless, and have a lovely week!
