Waiting for ALDEN's BIRTH

Well I AM GETTING ANTSY WAITING FOR MY GRANDSON TO BE BORN. THE DOCTOR PREDICTED THURSDAY. MY DAUGHTER FELT IT WOULD BE TODAY. WHEN I GET BLUE OR ANTSY then MOVING FURNITURE ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL GREAT---WEIRD--IT MUST BE SOME PSYCHOLOGY AT WORK. MAYBE A CREATIVE INSTINCT INSTILLED BY THE CREATOR? SO I MOVED MY BED AND BOOKCASE IN MY BEDROOM. ALSO THE ROCKER.
I FRAMED THE PICTURE WE GOT FROM OUR VACATION ON OKRACOKE ISLAND.


I AM INCLUDING THE PICTURE BELOW OF SOME STENCILING I DID A LONG WHILE AGO TO COVER UP THE MARKS FROM WHERE A BANISTER USED TO BE ON THE UPSTAIRS LANDING. (ANOTHER WEBSITE MENTIONED WAYS WE CAMOUFLAGE STUFF the blog was :
http://catherineholmanfolkart.blogspot.com/2008/06/creative-concealment.html) Now if you click on this picture you will see some cat litter--it is near his poopeee box!
THEN I CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF USING THE WOODEN SUPPORT FROM AN OLD TABLE TO PUT MY CANDLESTICK ON---WE ARE USING THE TABLE WITH ANOTHER BASE.



I PUT MY BLUE BOTTLES IN THE WINDOW.





AND I MOVED THIS LITTLE CABINET INTO THE CORNER.



I ALSO moved some chairs and tables in one of the living rooms. (I must be driving my hubby nuts!! but he is used to it by now!!) So hopefully ALden will come into this world soon, or who knows what may happen!!!

  2. You'll probably end up moving the entire house over 6 inches by the time he comes :)

  4. Dear Kim, I can't imagine waiting for such a dear precious package. I would be moving things too. My turn won't come for about eight years or so. I look forward to it.

    Your home is beautiful. It must be an historical home? The door is heavy hardwood and the banister was gorgeous. I like the candle holders you made of them. Your stencil art is perfect.

    I love John Piper too.

    I'll pray your daughter delivers safely a healthy baby boy soon. Hugs, Kathi

  6. this is funny. Hopefully you won't have to do too much more moving around. Makes me think of my Dad. He never wanted my Mom to move anything.

  10. HEY THERE!

    Charlotte was born on 5 July 2008, the day after my birthday! (Guess she wanted her own day!) I have posted a couple pictures on my blog of her. She is such a sweet heart and Sofia is a great big sister. I am excited about your new arrival! It is so excited to have a new baby enter into this life with us!

    God Bless
