Even though our house is still work in progress I do like a few little spots here and there that make me happy so I thought I would share a few of them with you.
Sorry I have been away for so long but we finally relocated to Western Michigan and I needed to focus on that as well as getting my girls situated in school. Well, I am happy to report we are all doing well and the girls are getting adjusted to their new schools and my husband and I in our new roles {same company just different jobs for both of us}. Our world has been turned up side down and getting it back on track takes a little time and focus. The house is getting unpacked and there is a ton of work that needs to be done but I keep telling myself...it all can't be done at once. I wish it could but it can't. That is OK...it has been actually nice to see how much stuff I have accumulated over the years and I am going to get rid of a lot of things that I just don't need anymore. I need to have a Vintage Flair garage sale. So here is a funny story, I was adamant that we were NOT going to buy a house with out a spare room to use as my craft space. Every house we looked at had a finished basement and I even had our realtor tell me when we were walking through homes, Lori this would make a great craft space for you. Well, we ended up buying a house with outa finished basement and we had plans to finish it before we moved in {it is a long story so I won't bore you with the details} and ended up not finishing it right away. So, low and behold NO CRAFT SPACE for me....sad uh? I know. That was the one thing that I really wanted and I will get eventually when we finish the basement but just not right away. My girls have a pretty large open loft area up stairs that we are using as their media/play room and I carved out a small space in the corner for myself up there. They are not really happy that I am crashing with them but I told them it was temporary. Check out my "temporary" craft space....I hope you like it.
