Hi everyone... I have two FOTD since I last posted one... sad but true. Summer is just flying by. Been busy around the house but I've finally finished the boys' room -except painting stairwell which I am in no hurry to do since they can't seem to keep their hands off of the walls when going up/down steps. Thought I would show you the finished look for those who haven't seen my facebook. Sorry Nikki and Jen, much as my boys don't deserve such a nice room, I don't have anywhere else to put them at this time so I can't let you move in. LOL
I just finished the roman shades this week. The main fabric is an upholstery weight chenille with barely there horizontal stripes. The edging is a faux distressed leather in dark brown. The edging had a dual role- one being that the main fabric was not wide enough to do in one piece and second being that it added some additional design/color.
The cornices I had made months ago- middle piece is a upholstery weight fabric with mostly dark brown and the tan of the roman shade and light blue of walls in design. The dark blue fabric is a silk look- I just loved the color. I finished the sewing and installed the roman shades Friday and put up the new cornices Saturday morning.
The kids and I are headed up to Ohio again to visit my side of the family. It was now or not this summer because my mom will be helping my aunt out by taking care of her grandmother-in-law while they take a vacation. Sprinkle in some dentist appointments within the next month that we have and you get "Summer over" Kids go back to school some ungodly date like Aug. 4. Can you tell that I don't mind my kids being around in the summer? I hate the restrictions school puts on our schedules- especially since the schools are hyper-sensitive about missing any school-- that's what happens when funding is tied to attendance. Now you feel like you are committing a crime if you take your kids out of school for a day for anything. SO, this means that Dayna's Minerals will be closed from July 6th to July 17th- I will be unable to respond to emails/messages/orders during that time. Orders I have received already will be taken care of already.
Here's a couple of FOTD that I did---
I can't remember the date of this first one since I didn't write it down in my MMU diary. I am not 100% on all colors used so I am going to just write down the ones I am sure about.
B2.1 foundation
Toastin' Coast Bronzer
?? Blush
Eyes-- liner is definitely Brilliant Blue
Lips???
July 1
B2.1 foundation with Neroli spray
Beach Bronzer
Perfect Pink Blush
Eyes- Pick Me Up Pink (mid to inner eye) Jane Dark Brown gel liner, Espresso Yourself lightly over Jane liner to make smoky, Earthy Girl in outer V. (Lash conditioner from Sephora mascara minis??? name-- will write up about it when I do mascara review and Max Factor Lash Lift mascara topping the conditioner.)
Lips- MMBB indelible lip in Adorable and clear gloss with sparkles??
"Talk" to you next week--- hopefully I'll get that mascara review done and up for you then. BTW- I am now quite edgy since Mr. Hoozey is on laptop cursing-- he's finally decided to concern himself with his 401k from new company and cranky because 35% of the contributions are gone due to the market- so our balance right now is 35% less than what we put in. :(

My 401K is pretty much down the drain. :-/
