So this past weekend after Christmas, Chase and I finally got the ikea shelf put together - we bought when we were in Atlanta for Dragoncon and the four massive boxes have been sitting in our hallway ever since, driving me crazy. It was a butt to put together. Throughout the week we've been working on it in the evenings. Yesterday I finished the big hurdle of clearing out the ...
Chase gave me the pics he took on Saturday when I was in Anne! Showing my grandma pics on my phone... Kevin chilling out (his wig was making a backwards escape off his head...) The three of us I really need to learn that it doesn't matter how good and balanced it feels on my head in the 10 seconds I wear it when trying it on. I always need to ...
Last night after dinner we ran out to Hobby Lobby so I could get a couple more glass jars for beads (so I could free up our tupperware to return to the kitchen....) and Home Depot for some command hooks. It didn't leave me a lot of time to work last night but I did make a dent. Over in the corner I put the hooks up to hang my ...
I decided last night it was time to clean my sewing room top to bottom... as usual throughout the summer working on Dragoncon costumes things just get stuffed in places and things get disorganized, so it was time to redo! At first I was just going to clean up the two fabric bins I keep in my office for "current projects" - which at this point, are just receptacles for ...
Saturday morning, while Chase was off shooting stuff for a documentary he's working on, I put the house back together and got everything cleaned up. It took forever! I didn't take pictures until that evening when the sun was already heading down, so these pics aren't the best, but... Before: After: Kitchen Before: After: Living Room before: After: I need to go through and take some pictures with a real ...
Floors are done! He had to come back for a bit this morning to finish the transitions between the carpeted areas and the new floor. Now to spend the next couple of days putting everything back together. Here's Luna playing in the hall last night. She is having a hard time getting adjusted to slippery floors LOL In sewing news, I got the lining of the dress put together and ...
The installer was at the house all day yesterday and got the hallway nearly done, the kitchen and living room nearly done! Here's the hallway around noon yesterday. He still has to go back and do a small strip along the left side of the wall, the area in front of bedroom door and the entryway. Then the quarter round everywhere. Here's the living room. It looks really dark in ...
This week through Sunday we are getting the house ready for the new floor! I started packing up stuff on shelves last night, and Chase started experimenting with pulling up the carpet in the hallway. I took some before pictures (even though I already took down a lot of knick-knacks): The flooring will be here on Thursday, and has to acclimate to our house, so Chase wants to get the ...
I finally buckled down, found some energy and attacked my sewing room. Part of the thing that helped is the fact I made room in our hall bathroom closet for a lot of my wigs & hair styling stuff that had previously just been sitting around my office. Having somewhere to put all the wigs and wigheads kinda got me over the hump. There's still about a half hour of ...
Luna is almost all grown up. And while she's calmed down pretty significantly, it still feels like we just have this random wild animal living in our house sometimes. Haha. For Valentine's Day, we bought her a big present - a big kitty jungle gym. We've been wanting to get her one, because she loves being high up. We had a leftover Visa gift card from Christmas we'd saved for ...
