We were originally going to build a loft/fort bed. But we changed our minds and went with classic bunk beds.
The girls love it. Now on to the next build project: Dresser for the girls. They also will be done in this purple color.

Finished Bunk Beds
Well I finally finished something. Well the Hubby helped on this one, in fact my step-son and nephew also helped.

New Meal Monday
Do you meal plan?
I do. It's a love/hate thing. I love the money that it saves me at the grocery store and the fact that I know I have enough food for the week. I hate trying to come up with meals to put on the list for the week. And I'm so tempted to make the same things all the time. But there are almost always something new to try on my list.
Since I have a hard time finding new things to make, I figure there's a bunch of us out there that could use an idea or two. Or find out what out there didn't make the cut.
So last week here was the meal plan:
The Potato and Dumpling soup recipe I found here. I made half a recipe and probably could easy get 2 meals plus leftover for my family of 4. I loved it. It tasted great even though I forgot to add the salt, pepper and parsley. This one will definitely make it's way into my cookbook or recipe notebook.

WIP
This is what I worked on when my sister was here. I had about 12 blocks left to make and then worked on the lay out.
This is about half the quilt top laid out. I ran of room and had to pick up the first half and then lay out the second half.

I'm making this out of some vintage sheet squares that I had won and an Ikea sheet. I'm very excited about this quilt and can't wait for it to be done. If I did my math right, it should be close to a full size quilt when it's done. I'm hoping to put it on my bed. If I ever get it done. I've been wanting to craft, but just haven't had the energy to do it. I've been so tired by the time the girls go to bed, that I haven't been getting much done. Maybe I'll get something done today as I am home with a sick kid. Even though she insists that she is all better and is fine to go to school.
Here's hoping that your day is starting out better then mine.
