Project #1: (I don't have a picture of it) I FINALLY got a locking hinge for the toy box. Now there is no danger of the lid smashing down on one of my children's heads. I've been meaning to do this ever since Rachel was born...took me long enough huh?
Project #2: Pillow cases for spring, I was finally able to get the Valentines ones put away.
Project #3: A chore chart. There are still a few finishing touches to put on it but we can use it now. Rachel loves doing her chores and has a lot of fun moving the magnets when she is done. 
Project #4: A picnic blanket/quilt. I made this using our old warn out jeans, t-shirts from college (okay a few of the shirts are from HS), an old flat sheet and a couple old fleece blankets for the batting to make it comfy. I love it! It's big and it holds many memories.

Oh, so that's what you meant by projects! I love your chore chart--I want to make one, too! Your pillows are awesome, too!
Doesn't it feel so good to complete a project? Oh, I just love that feeling of completing something tangable. I LOVE those pillow cases. They just make me feel happy! And a memory quilt for picnics...who thinks of these things? I think it is just wonderful! And it took me YEARS to figure out the right "chore" system for our family so you are way ahead of me!
Good for you & way to go!!!
Too cute! What fun!
Liz, I love love LOVE your projects!! They're fantastic! I've been thinking about a picnic quilt like that but haven't gotten around to it. Your pillow cases are awesome; I wish I knew how to do all that facny piecing! And your chore chart ROCKS! What a great way to motivate everyone (especially the kids) to get chores done. I LOVE it! (And I'm totally going to copy it! ;) ) Your kiddos are so cute, by the way. Thanks for sharing all your completed projects. It's a great feeling isn't it? Nice work!
