Been a Little Busy......

So, I know this seems like my mantra, but things have been busy and once again I am very tardy on posting, but WE MOVED!!!!!



And by moved I mean sold our house, bought a new house, packed, moved, unpacked, made it feel like home, trying to get used to it moved. It has been super busy and stressful, which has been good for my waistline, as I managed to loose the last few pounds from when I had Abra, but I am tired and need to refocus.


The new house is great, but it needs work. So coming from a home where we had finished most of the major projects and going to somewhere where most of the major projects are yet to begin it feels a little overwhelming. It was very stressful on the girls as well, so I focused on getting their rooms settled first and they seem happy.



Now I dream about a my home being finished because we are hoping this move will be our last. We are now is a great school district in a big house with a ton of potential. We love the neighborhood and hope the girls will too. We have finished one room, well, mostly finished the new dining room.....


Before....

and After....

Ebony stained floors, painted trim and walls, new chandelier, and some new furniture (compliments on some furtive craigslist shopping)

So now that it is getting colder and summer seems to be gone it is time to refocus on my artwork and try to get some new prints into the shop. I am looking forward to creating again and finding time draw. (and maybe strip the wall paper in the kitchen.....its a little too welcome to the 80's for my taste). I plan to post updates on house progress over the coming months.
