The house needs a makeover xx

I have said yes to having a 'craft party' for my friend who has started her own business venture! She has been making her own cards and crafty things for a long time and now is a 'stamping it up' consultant!!! I think it is a bit like having a body shop party but selling craft items and printing stamps. This is so we will all be able to make our own cards from now on.........I think not hehe. I have booked the party for two weeks time (slightly regretting it already!). I'm not sure how much my friends are into craft but it may be a giggle and as long as I have gin in the house it will all be alright. I have decided that seeing as I'm going to have lots of people in my house I must make sure that I get my act sorted and do a few jobs around the house that I have been meaning to do for a long time!
I am going to start by painting the dining room, sorting out the curtains and finally make the table runner I have been going to do for some time. I cleaned the shelves of the dresser yesterday and decluttered as much as I could.
I really want to make a valentines day wall hanging and maybe even make a small picture from fabric with Emily. Again something I wanted to do several weeks ago, although I have had the excuse as I have been making Amy and Neils quilt (I have now finished making all the heart blocks). My other project that Samuel is very keen to help me with is to make my wooden heart garland. It involves using a jig saw to cut the wood and he is fit to burst with the thought of it.
I have found a picture that I would like my room to resemble! It may be a bit too 1930's for Benjamin's tastes but I have fallen in love with it so we will see hehe. I quite like having a deadline as I seem to work much better this way and things get dome alot quicker. I could just do with some time off work to have the time to do it all.
I think I'm going to declutter some more tonight! I'm in the mood to throw things away at the moment and try to create a little order in the house. I must start and sort out all our clothes this week as our cupboards are bursting at the seams but I'm sure that we only wear half of the stuff if that!!!!!! I think if I have had a good spring clean before spring starts then I can be doing fun things when the weather starts to warm up - see there is a plan..........
