Well, Sandy is past and we are quite lucky. We only lost power for about 19 hours from Monday evening to Tuesday afternoon. The girls are off from school all week, Doug has been out from both jobs through today, and he will be off at least one of them tomorrow. Halloween has been postponed until Monday.
We heard a few thumps during the storm. Doug ran out to rescue this piece of siding that came down.
I think I showed you the beginning of this horsey holder. It’s all done now. I really like it. Plus, free, always a bonus!!
There has been quite a bit of cleaning and organizing going on lately.
I finished my free found objects craft this morning. First, and most importantly, I found a lid for my coffee. No drinking sawdust for me!
Then I took those little square pegs and drilled some holes in them. Angled holes at the angled end, and straight in at the flat end.
I started a new project on Sunday. Because what I need is a new project. I should be able to finish it tomorrow. In my defense, it is a project that will make an existing project easier.
I started by collecting all the supplies I thought I would need. All stuff found in my garage. OK, the deck posts were laying in the pile of deck wood outside my garage, but the rest was in there.
The other day the girls and I spent $3.00 at the grocery store on a pack of Halloween cut outs. We then put them in the front windows and on the front door.
Now every time we come home Vada says “Hi, Spooky House.” It’s kinda adorable!
So why is it that P words work so nicely in place of other…um…colorful…words?
I went to Home Depot, and bought the shut off valve I wanted for the basement. I was all ready for  quick, easy job. I collected all the things I needed, shut off the water, and grabbed the cutter from the bucket of plumbing tools I had. Or so I thought I would. Maybe I should have checked to make sure it really was there before I went to the store. Uggg! I looked all over the back room of the basement, and the garage. No pipe cutter.
Yup, chaos. Kind of explains a lot going on right now. I seem to have a decent routine on school mornings up unit I get home from taking the girls to school. Then it’s just a bit, well, chaotic. I’m working on getting into a routine during the school days. It seems like there is just more to do then time in the day. Market some days, laundry others, cleaning (always cleaning), organizing all the stuff in the basement, garage, spare room (which will one day be Kyla’s room), working on my designs/patterns, and, of course, spending time with you, my blogland friends. I know I can.
