hooray!

what happened?

oh.

I am such a bad blogger...

Really, though, my guilt is just about that short-lived.

It's been a busy summer, and I am totally okay with the fact that I've probably lost the interest of anyone reading this thing. That is, besides my mom, Madonna, and probably Brenda, my mother-in-law. And they all already know what's up. Right, ladies?! :)

So summer is done. Back in school as of yesterday.

I am left with two thoughts:

what happened?

what happened!

The biggest news of all: We have a house!

(Well, we're under contract for a house.)

That's what happened!

Read this next part in your best Grover voice:

SERIOUSLY folks! Do you KNOW what that MEANS?

It means a HOME for all of my WONDERFUL crafts!

My crafts get their VERY OWN ROOM.

And if we are VERY VERY QUIET,

there will be a HOUSE at the end of this MONTH.

:) I am cautiously excited.

Update on projects:

cafe curtains: original seams ripped... and that's about it

bed quilt: eh... the fabrics are pre-washed (that's something... right?)

christmas needlepoint ornament: surprisingly, almost done

imagined decorating projects in house: regularly scheduled daydream

For now, I will leave you with this link to a great blog on upcycling dresses. I've seen this blog before, but it was featured on Yahoo News today and it refreshed my memory.

Can't wait to post pictures once we reach the END of this MONTH.

:)

p.s. please pray that the house works out.
