Is it wrong that now our house feels like home mainly because my computer is up and running again? So sad, I know. Ah well. Nothing exciting to report around here seeing as I’m still unpacking, but my goal is to be finished by the end of this week. Can it be done? I shall put my strength and stamina to the test!
So what have I been doing since clearly unpacking hasn’t been the only thing I’m using my time and energy on? What else but crafting. My space is not quite finished but that hasn’t stopped me since making things has helped me cope with all the stresses of moving. I’ve been whipping up some dishcloths to match the new kitchen, and I think they turned out swimmingly.
My love affair with red and aqua continue. Just take a gander at my kitchen. The before:
And now the after:
I just can’t help myself. I tried not to extend it into the living room too much but I feel I may lose that battle over time. The living room is coming along…I will be posting pictures soon, esp. since that one corner is still bugging me.
I haven’t been making things only for myself. Tim says that I don’t make things for him, but that wasn’t the case when I crafted him a clay-fellow to keep him company while he works.
Ugh, sometimes he can be so rude. Who dat Ninja?
Ah, there he is. He’s a feisty little guy, that Samurai. He needs some numb chucks or a sword or something. Now he shall watch over Tim as he works to ensure he’s staying on task (right, honey?). Clearly, I have too much time on my hands. I shall remedy that right now as I throw another load of laundry in the wash - I am no longer afraid of my front-loader and we’re getting along so well. Much more to share (like this awful indigestion Max is inflicting on me, my new hair ‘do complete with highlights, and more house pics) but that’s all you get for now - I love to leave you wanting more.

Your kitchen rules! I have a problem keeping red out of every room in my house. It’s like when I see a red throw pillow on a clearance table, I just cannot resist.
Can’t wait to see more… especially the hair!

love the red accents they really pop and that shade of blue looks great with the dark “cupboards” as they call them here. Can’t wait to see more. You’re my hero for doing that with a toddler and one on the way!
