I now have a dishwasher and a washer and dryer. And the laundry room is mostly painted. I only have a little trim work to finish. But now that I have all these appliances I have to use them so I have a good schedule down. I do one load of laundry a day. I take my time with it, no rushing but no leaving it in the dryer. When it is done I take it and fold and put it away. And then before I go to bed I put the dishes in the dishwasher and do a load. Then I put them away the next morning. Wow so exciting right?

Just getting things done. Trying to get the house ready for company in July. Mom was able to get out of the country. She had a hard time with expired passports and a broken oven the day before they left, and some other troubles. She did not get the house totally clean and is paying me to go clean it before the company comes.

No problems with the pregnancy yet. I am making a little layette set for Elizabeth to wear on her blessing day. I think I can get it done. I have most of the little jacket done already. I also am going to make a little nursing cover blanket. Reversible, one purple the other blue, and then some lace at the bottom for trim. I hope I can do it. I don't have a pattern but I am going to copy the pattern from the one in the store I saw. They were expensive so I thought I would try to make one better then the one in the store. More customized that way.

I am going to a recipe exchange tonight. I am making a 4th of july creation from my favorite magazine Family Fun! and then a little silverware holder thing from the same magazine. They look so cute.
