I’m home sick today with a wicked bad sore throat and bodyaches that seem to be making the rounds. I have no immune system at all, so anything that goes around usually finds it’s way to me eventually. This is about my third day sick, but I’ve been working through it. One of the many […]

I’ve been spending every waking moment thinking about this house. Which is pretty obvious from the state of my blog. And since the loan stuff is just stressful, most of that thinking is about the interior design. I haven’t quite picked out paint colors yet. I have ideas, but nothing final, and it might stay […]

Here’s my new house! First of all, there is no carpet in the entire house. Hooray! The previous owners had a puppy that peed all over the place, so they replaced all the flooring. Those boxes by the front door are “Puppy Potty Training Pads.” They don’t seem to work. All the beige you see […]

Crafting lately has been rather difficult, mainly because 90% of my stuff is in boxes. I’ve been trying to find ways to keep it up though. I dug out my sewing stuff for my quilting class, I got my beading stuff out after a trip to the bead store, and I always have “My Activity […]

Hi Everybody! I sent an email to whip up about my quilting catastrophe and they hooked me up with all kinds of great tips to make sure I never do that again. Over the weekend I checked my visitor stats and they had multiplied by 10. So, let me do a quick re-introduction. For the […]

I Can Make that Friday will be postponed this week. Saturday will be spent doing out home inspection, so I have to sharpen my pencils, charge up the camera, and get the graph paper ready. How I’ll get to sleep I’ll never know. This is worse than Christmas morning. Expect to be attacked by house […]

I got a new job and even before I started I was pretty ambivalent about it. Now I’m downright hating life. I took it because we’re buying a house that costs a lot of money, we have zero furniture and I am way too OCD to live in an empty house for a few years. […]

I spend a ton of time every day reading blogs. Way WAY more than I should. Lately, I can’t get enough of craft blogs not only for the great talent and ideas and inspiration they showcase, but also for the lifestyle they share. Every blog I read has been inspired by Spring and therefore Easter. […]

I’m going crazy waiting around and hoping the loan works out OK and we get through escrow with a house at the end of it. Being the OCD freak that I am, of course the only way I know to deal with this is to plan my little heart out. I’ve been staying up late […]

It looks like somebody finally decided to take our money. For a while there I was really starting to feel like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman as she’s sitting in the hotel managers office pulling out wads of crinkled bills, “I tried, but no one will help me. I have all this money, but NO […]
