I am actually going to go tile and paint shopping for the new room and it could either be lots of fun or extremely frustrating. Obviously I am hoping for option number one.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8652621035264920920-1610386197964325916?l=theartofinprogress.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>fuzzystuffieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05457172092047135311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652621035264920920.post-45128077865277679672009-10-18T13:46:00.000-07:002009-10-18T13:57:26.811-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zpO5PRbQ1pI/StuADL1yl0I/AAAAAAAAACc/SPqOXpebxAI/s1600-h/IMG_0746.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 374px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zpO5PRbQ1pI/StuADL1yl0I/AAAAAAAAACc/SPqOXpebxAI/s400/IMG_0746.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394045770912667458" /></a>Living closer to the equator has its drawbacks....the heat being one of them. I was lucky enough to enter this weekend with the most wonderful cold front. It almost feels like it could be fall, sadly I do not think it will last and we will soon be back to 95 degree days. For now I will sit in front of the window with a gentle 68 degree breeze dragging in the smell of clean cold air and enjoy a quiet day of crafting.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8652621035264920920-4512807786527767967?l=theartofinprogress.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>fuzzystuffieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05457172092047135311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652621035264920920.post-50001624609728395912009-09-27T05:54:00.000-07:002009-09-27T06:09:28.734-07:00<div>It's nearly October and the end of the year is just around the corner. I had so many plans for the summer but most have not seen the light of day. There has been so much work and not nearly enough play. Remodeling has been taking longer...much longer than expected, unexpected things have popped up, work has been mentally exhausting, and then there is life in general. I am looking forward to some relaxing, sewing, crafting, and having some fun.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zpO5PRbQ1pI/Sr9hs2_qEGI/AAAAAAAAACM/nNkeWHk8Jc8/s1600-h/pro.jpg"><img style="display:block;

There is this darn thing called "work" that always seems to get in the way of a thing called "play". Now that I remember I did manage to swing a trip to the fabric shop and whip up another fabric basket. Hello spring, I dedicate this one to all the birds that spend the better part of the morning chirping... I believe they are saying wake up, wake up you lazy ass.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8652621035264920920-1822368152792702954?l=theartofinprogress.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>fuzzystuffieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05457172092047135311noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652621035264920920.post-60234666690919696142009-04-12T06:42:00.000-07:002009-04-12T06:44:24.540-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zpO5PRbQ1pI/SeHwEz4GF8I/AAAAAAAAAA8/cRWf6bGHgMY/s1600-h/IMG_0484.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 383px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zpO5PRbQ1pI/SeHwEz4GF8I/AAAAAAAAAA8/cRWf6bGHgMY/s400/IMG_0484.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323800199964268482" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8652621035264920920-6023466669091969614?l=theartofinprogress.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>fuzzystuffieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05457172092047135311noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652621035264920920.post-54559834106246347672009-04-08T04:03:00.000-07:002009-04-08T04:13:11.925-07:00I don't know if I will have anything interesting to say or have any useful nonsense to clutter the world wide web with but I sure will give it a go- no promises.
