In Limbo…

Ideally, after the weekend, I would love to show you some progress of Just a Girl.  Unfortunately, I’m just a girl who isn’t getting anything done.  Well, nothing to post about anyway.  Wanna see a beautiful stack of folded laundry? Probably not.

I’m almost done with so many things, but now I wait.  Until it all comes together, here are a couple of things I’m waiting for my mailman to bring me…

il_430xN_80084848I ordered this fabric bundle from pinkpandafabrics at Etsy.  If you know you’re going to have some smaller fabric projects, but you want some variation in your material, THIS is the way to go.  I got 6 different patterns, but they come in 18 x 22 squares.  PERFECT for some throw pillows, right?

I’m also waiting on my new calendar to arrive.  Sayitwithstyle  from Etsy is the only place I could find this.  No complaints though!  It’s perfect! You know that mudroom that I said isn’t quite done?  Well, it will be when this comes in.  Can’t wait.

Lastly, this is taking up my time. Kathryn and Melissa over at Nannygoat have got me all excited over this new menu planning idea, and it involves these…

DSC_5932 and this…DSC_5800 And yes.  I am just shallow enough and quite honest enough to tell you that the #1 reason I’m using it is because it’s so darn cute.  #2, of course, is because of convenience.

    Love the fabric, very cute! I hope you show us your recipe book. If I could cook more than eggs and mac & cheese, I'd make one too.

    I love that calendar, so neat. The recipe book is too cute. I have sooo many recipes that I haven't tried, I keep colllecting them but still cooking mostly the same things.

    Don't you wonder if you would ever get a project done if it weren't for your blog? Sometimes the only thing that gets me to the finish point is knowing that I can take photos to post...but I still have plenty of half-finished stuff lying around!

    Organization is such a wonderful feeling.

    I've been feeling pretty lack luster with getting stuff done lately too. Been too long since I've had a project. I better get on that.

    Those are very cute stuff you got. Not a fan of the pink fabric though. Just because I don't like the color. :D I'd like to have that cook book, please! Haha!
