2 spooky m8
Last night I woke up at 12:30 in the morning and there was a light on in the hallway. It freaked me out, because we’d had people over that evening, and left the front door unlocked while people came and went. My paranoid mind immediately went to, “someone snuck into the house and hid” so I woke Chase up, but…

Happy Thanksgiving
I had a very nice Thanksgiving break. Chase and I cooked ourselves a mini Thanksgiving dinner for just the two of us that night (after family lunch earlier in the day). It was really good and we still have leftovers after eating on them all weekend. The rest of the weekend was cleaning, errands, and our “Friends-giving” yesterday night which…

Adventures in House Hunting
My way home from my new job takes me right by a house we looked at when we were house hunting back in 2009, so yesterday in my head I was reminiscing about it and some of the other places we looked at. We looked at a lot of short sales/foreclosures, since we could possibly get a bigger house for…

House Work: Painting, Video Games and Whatnot
Hi guys. Haven’t done much lately because of all the painting and crazy work stuff. BUT I do have a few things to share now! First off, had a good mail day the other day: Chase has been playing a lot of PS3 lately and it’s been making me miss some of my PS2 games. Besides playing Battlefront 1 and…

Office updates, new furniture!
Finally got my sewing room cleaned up! Here’s the blue cabinet – still needs a new magnet to keep the door closed. And the patterns I shoved underneath it need a new home. Here’s the white wardrobe. Still want to do the blue accents, and make curtains, but it’s use-able.

Repainting the Chest
Hey remember that yellow chest-of-drawers I posted a few weeks ago? I took today off work and got it painted (and got a lot of laundry done.) I’m SUPER happy with the result. Here’s it is after one coat: And here it is finished: I left the interior yellow and LOVE it. Rolling it into my sewing room tomorrow and…

Next project: yellow chest
Sorry I’ve been MIA… real life happened but I doubt the story is anyone’s interest so I won’t bore you with it. My next project for my office is this piece of furniture: It was not quite as dirty as the other piece, and still in very good shape, just one piece of a drawer had come off. Once I…

Painting my wardrobe
We had two date nights and lots of painting this past weekend. Friday we saw Wreck-it Ralph, and Saturday we saw Skyfall. Both really good! Saturday morning I got up and painted myself orange for Ahsoka, and we headed to Memphis Comic and Fantasy Con. We had a really great time though we didn’t take any pics; we did come…

Housework, and a Wardrobe
This weekend was spent cleaning the garage, something that has been much-needed for a while. Saturday we pulled everything into the driveway to start organizing it. It was hilarious to watch people drive by reaaaaal slow, thinking it was a garage sale LOL We built a new shelf for all of our bins! We got it mostly done on saturday,…

Office Space
So this morning, laying in bed, 5:30 AM, I had a brainstorm about my sewing room. It’s cluttered. It’s a mess. I have no space. It’s been a disaster area since Dragoncon – I attempted to unpack in there, got halfway through and ended up with stuff strewn everywhere. On top of going through to find stuff to sell, it’s…

Cleaning my office
Chase helped me tackle the closet in my office yesterday. While I’ve cleaned and reorganized my office in the past few months, the closet I haven’t messed with since before dragoncon last year. I have 11 bins shoved in there, and 5 of them just had various scraps of random stuff in them. Chase helped me pull all the bins…

Belle Updates, Laundry Room, etc
I haven’t had anything to work on recently so I’ve been working on Belle again. I got the apron made and the sleeves done. All that’s left now is attaching the collar. I’ve also got to figure out a hairbow, since I threw away the scraps of the blue material when we moved from the apartment. But – who knows,…

I would like to put in a complaint…
…that weekends go by way too quickly. So anyway. Got a bit done this weekend. Got the laundry room nearly put back together. It looks nice. Very happy. I’ll post a pic soon. Finished up my Donna top, and nearly got Romana finished except I ran out of bobbin when I had about 5 inches left to go hemming it.…

Romana + house work
The house is still a disaster thanks to us painting the laundry room, but it’s getting there. I forgot to take a before-photo of the laundry room before we took everything out, and before we stacked the washer and dryer. But here it is pre-painting: Only room in the house we’ve never done anything to – that floor tile is…

House work: Guest Bath
Working on the house again! I repainted the hall bathroom this past weekend. Third time since we’ve moved in. Here’s a quick history of the hall bathroom! When we moved in – it had wallpaper, which we took down. First I painted it green, because green is my fav colour and this was the one room we could agree on…

Panorama of my Sewing Room
Cleaned up my office last night since I had bridesmaids coming over to try on their dresses I had altered. It’s definitely grown more cluttered since I started out with one bookshelf and a desk! I just have too much stuff and nowhere else to put it (*). (*) – I really need to clean stuff out and get rid…

Christmas 2011 Tree!
Made the decision to go ahead and decorate on Thursday: We haven’t finished painting the living room or finished the new mantle – but I couldn’t wait; if I’d waited on all that to be done we’d probably wouldn’t have put the tree up til February. Ha. So excuse the unfinished mantle, but it’s nice to have the tree next…

House Work: Bedroom finished!
and again the old room after we moved in for reference: Look at the bathroom door in comparison to the trim – that yellow-y colour is what all the trim and doors in our house is. Ick! Chase will be removing the door to repaint them white soon, and we’re replacing the hardware on the doors, too.

House Work: Painting the Bedroom
Got the bedroom painted this weekend! Well, almost – we only got about halfway through the trim. All of the trim and doors in our house are this icky almond colour, which just looks dingy next to everything else. We’ve been wanting to paint it all since we first moved in. We picked a slightly off-white for it. Anyway, a…

Cleaning my Sewing Room, etc
Still working on getting my sewing room straightened up and organized. Chase put my new shelves up last night, so I put my bead jars on them – this was the plan from the start, but it took me 2 years to finally get around to getting the shelves. I think I might get one more small one, because I…
