Hostage Situation & Other Tales from the White House

My camera has been taken hostage.

I have been desperately trying to capture some photos of my renovations and my stitching and I cannot get my hands on it.

So, here is what's been going on...

The drywall is down - we're looking at studs (okay, not THOSE studs, 2 x 4's)

We only found 2 dead mice in the walls - Yahooo!!!

The new windows have been ordered and will be here within 2 weeks.

I have gotten all of my cross-stitching charts organized and cataloged and I only have to kit them all up and figure out what to do next.

We have chosen the hardwood floors

I am working on dealing with my issues and feelings of failure in regards to my mothering and my son's choices




I am learning to embrace "me" despite my faults

I am so proud of the way my daughter has been working diligently on her gymnastic/cheerleading skills

I watched the most amazing movie tonight - Slumdog Millionaire. If you haven't seen it, please do so as soon as possible!

I am gearing up for a very heavy duty workload through the end of the month and I thank GOD for the blessing of work.

I am still searching for the perfect quilt for my new "room"



I have picked out my new front door.

We are installing a pocket door in the perfect place that will alter the entire function of the upstairs.




We have made a decision on the layout of the upstairs

I got my hair highlighted (finally) and my new colorist is WONDERFUL!

My husband and I are doing our very best to fall in love with each other day after day - FIREPROOF




I do have one very big QUESTION...Do I paint the trim WHITE? Do I paint the trim CREAM? Do I stain the trim? HELP!!!
