If you are lucky, some weekends find you in a place like this,
with a book, and some spare time..

In reality, most weekends are spent like this..
painting a shelf for Cam's Hockey and baseball trophies to live on.

making birthday party invites for Coco's gingerbread-house-making party
(first one, not sure whatI've gotten myself into here!)
and baking a trial version.

making one of these
![created on: 01/07/09](http://s3.amazonaws.com/curbly_uploads_production/photos/0000/0006/4818/stringlamps2.jpg)
for over the dining room table.
the classic white is simply beautiful, but I was considering jute twine,
or maybe cobalt blue for a different twist -
I'd love your opinions..
Found great instructions from Jen at Made by Girl
and she was even kind enough to email me all the extra electrical and mounting instructions
( of which there is a scary amount :)
If those all get done today, the kids are determined to get one of our trees up tomorrow,
so that will be Sunday.

I can't wait to see how your pendant light turns out. I think I might have to put that on my weekend to do list!!!
A nice weekend for you and plenty of projects to keep you busy. It's all good! I like the colors of jute wine and cobalt blue for the ball over the dining room. All the best with everything :-)
Lovely space shown in the first photo. I could spend hours there enjoying a good read (with an ottoman of course...) ;)
Looking forward to seeing how your dining room light fixture turns out. It seems like a tricky DIY. Good luck!

You were a busy girl this weekend! Holy smokes! I loooove those light fixtures and I hope you share the end product with us.
Thanks for your e-mail. ;-) We were traveling over the weekend so I didn't get any projects or decorating done!
