The house is starting to turn into a home.
- I hung a huge drape (floor to ceiling) to cover our massive window (which you haven't seen because I'm keep forgetting to take pictures). I created this 15 ft x 9ft masterpiece out of a painter's dropcloth ($20) and a curtain rod on sale from JoAnn Fabrics ($36). Idea snagged from various posts on Apartment Therapy
- I made The Pioneer Woman's meatloaf from her cookbook, and the Buttered Rosemary Rolls from her website. The rolls were ahhhh-mazing
Unfortunately, I needed to keep putting the meatloaf back into the oven...1 hour wasn't long enough.
- We're daydreaming about cool installations we can make for our ceiling:
(image from Craftzine)- The new year is right around the corner, and after we file our taxes, we'll find out how much we will receive in tax credits for buying the house. This opens up a WORLD of possibilities! Wood floor! Butcher block countertops! Making the office an OFFICE (instead of our storage room)!
Christmas is coming
- I decorated for Christmas and made finger-knitted-garland to go on the railing.- This weekend we are getting our first REAL tree and decorating the shit out of it.
- Saturday I am participating in an evening in Chicago with some of my lady friends. We will bring drinks and food and stocking stuffers. And it will be great.
- I got the OK from my gracious and wonderful boss to take off 12/23 - 1/4. OMFG. I want to PEE because I'm just that excited.
Life isn't so bad
- My commute has consistently been 1 hr and 10minutes. UNHEARD OF!
- I have a steady job and a steady paycheck. And Mike likes his new position.
- The possibility of opening the etsy shop at the start of the new year is becoming a possibility. Maybe. I hope?
- I'm wearing a dress today. And I like it.
- I'm planning to follow along with the Demoiselles Getting Healthy project. I'm planning to do almost exactly what they do...only here. And linking back THERE to make sure I give credit where credit is due.
- I had a dream that I hung out with Kyla Roma and Your Wishcake and they were sweet and wonderful. And I woke up feeling so creepy because I've never met them, yet they've appeared in my dreams. The internet makes me weird.
