Progress

I promise I'll have some projects coming your way soon.

I wanted to work on my video post, but the store I went to didn't have the right size "something" to get my project done. Hopefully I can find the material I need today.

So...by now some of you should know that I'm in school. In another 1.5 weeks, I'll be done with my acclerated class and I'll have tons more free time.

So what else is taking up my time?

I've been working out every chance that I get. I've already dropped a pants size (which has NEVER happened to me before!).

yes....I blurred out my weight on the chart. Still not ready to reveal that!

Come back tomorrow for the first day of my 31 series!

Coming up...

Sorry again, guys, for my lack of projects. I'm juggling a lot right now.

BUT I do want to let you in on what will be going on here at Superwoman.

1. A new video tuturial. You want to check it out if you have OOCD (Organizational Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) like me. It's simple, fast, and easy.

2. A "31 Days to..." series. It's not decorating or home-improvement related. I'm using it as a filler for the days that I don't post any projects. That means there may be two posts in a day. You'll want to be around for it!

3. A VERY late V-day project. Hey, I can store it for next year!

4. Highlights of the gayla I will be attending (and maybe a video of "the 303 dance party" lol.)

5. St. Patty's Day decor. (and my b-day!)

6. And of course, random extras that I like to throw in. (Maybe another giveaway?)

Madison

Guess where I'm going?

We are going to a UW Schools Studen Senate Gayla (spelled right?)

Anyways, I have never been away from my kids for more than overnight, so I'm excited/nervous about this!

I have a dress being shipped in from New York. That's how excited I am.

Beautiful Madison, I haven't seen you since I was almost too young to remember...

And do you know what they have in Madison???

Yeah yeah, sure they have the capitol...

...but I can't wait to step foot in...

...POTTERY BARN!! hehe

I've never been to one, can you tell?

So I know this place is extremely expensive. I've visited their site. It's crazy.

So I'm going to scour the place for ideas. Maybe a Clearance item or two.

I think I can make these:

Shape some steel wool, spray paint it black (dark brown?) and stick a Dollor Tree votive in it.

Thanks for the idea, Pottery Barn!

I also have my eyes set on these:

They are pretty cheap for the set of 6. I love the numbers on them!

And I'm sure that Pottery Barn must have other things not listed on their site, so we'll see what I come home with!

Vinyl Clock Deal

I recently got this vinyl clock at Younkers on Yellow Dot:

There's 5 different styles, mostly for your kitchen or living room.

I chose this one, because the princess is spoiled.

Just letting you in on a deal ;)

Anyways, sorry I know it's been a little slow around here. I'm in an accelerated class at school, and it's kicking my butt. So after March 9th, I'll be my usual productive self.
School comes first!

Perennials

I'm lazy.

Okay, maybe not with renovating and crafting, but I'm the laziest gardner you will find. I don't do annuals. Well, I do hanging baskets, but I never plant annuals.

I want an easy-maintenance perennial garden. All you have to do is spread mulch and de-weed every spring.

That's it.

I know, you're thinking "Yeah, and pay the $1000's for it!"

So this year I'm growing my own perennials. Seed packets are cheaper than mature plants.

That's what I decided those ugly herb planters would be used for.

(Originally they were going to hold office supplies for my craft room, but that reno can't be started until Summer)

Here's my army of perennials:

Hopefully this thrifty tactic will work =P

Goals for this year's garden:
1. Build a proper arbor for the swing my grandfather build.
2. Split my rhubarb. They are getting overgrown.
3. Plant a rasperry bush. Or two or three =D
4. Transplant another lilac bush.
5. Mulch mulch mulch. I never end up mulching. It will be done this year!
6. Finish the concrete patio.
7. Contain the epidemic of bearded irises that have taken over my backyard. Those things multiply like rabbits!

It would be an accomplishment if I even do two things on that list, haha!
