DIY days

I've been inspired by all the house shows I've been watching at night when linc goes to bed. we have been trying to make our place more homey, little touches here and there. so I made some up cycled sweater pillows for the couches. I put up contact paper in the bathroom shelf. kalob made a bar like I posted before. we tried putting up curtains today with these wire things from ikea, since we can't touch the ceiling. the house has blinds but they seem so outdated and un imaginative. the wire wouldn't hold their weight so I was pretty dang disappointed, especially since we bought them for all 3 rooms, and it was a spice of color desperately needed.

we are getting ready to head to California for thanksgiving. we are RVing up north for 3 days to celebrate with Kalobs great grandma whom I've never met. Lincoln either ;) I'm a little nervous. a 93 year old and an 8 month old. Lincoln isn't necessarily bad,,,but he does like exploring. And banging. touching everything with his pointy finger. occasionally hitting and biting. He doesn't like to sit on anyone's lap and be still. it's getting harder to travel with him, cuz he gets bored. needless to say, I don't know if this is the greatest idea, but I'll go along with it and hope it's enjoyable.
