Feelin' Guilty

For many reasons...#1 I have not posted many crafty things up, just photos of my house (I have another one today) but it has been soo hard to focus on making cards/scrapbooking when the house is moving along soo slowly and #2 I have been searching for a job=( which has not been going as well as I would like. #3 I feel guilty that my house inside is a MESS because of my other focuses lately...

I will post some coasters up later today once I get photos loaded, but for now here is a pic of the house updated as well as 4th of July pics=) Have a good one!!! The house is hard to tell but I finished the bottom of the columns Red and The top of the porch rail is painted now (we were going to replace it but I am not holding my breath for that to get done, lol)...I also sanded more on the steps to be stained.

I hate ladders

URGHHH I just typed a whole blog and it was deleted when I submitted...anyway I do not have a ladder to finish the front of the house on my own so I have to wait on that...As I was saying before when it was deleted, a guy drove by the other day and felt compelled to stop and critique me on why I was starting from bottom instead of top and I told him I was a stay at home mom and this is what I could get done when my hubby was not home because he is limited to when he can work on it (1-2 days a week). He was also "concerned" for my safety on the ladder when I was working on the peak to the porch. I normally hate ladders and will not get on them, but I was sooo eager to see what it would look like when I painted the colors on the trim work, so I attempted it. I was using the ladder the right way, he was just trying to "sell himself" and later handed me a flyer because he paints houses for a living...not kidding...

Do you think we should put red shudders on the 2nd and 3rd floor windows????

House Update

Well we are getting there slowly but surely...

Painting is taking all my energy

It is taking a VERY long time to get this done during the kids naptime...on my birthday I was able to get Douglas to come and help me=) but the rain is KILLING most of my opportunities to get this house done, lol. The porch has been the most difficult because on top of painting we had put a new floor on, and we have to brace it to straighten up the posts next. Well off to start the day with the kids.

I am going to quickly try to post up some of my recent projects...tile magnets. I have already sold a few at Uniquely Elegant, so I posted more up on ebay as well.

Christmas in July Prep

I started making these Christmas gift tags as part of the Christmas in July promotion at Uniquely Elegant. I love the color combinations and I had this pack of paper left over from last Christmas so why not use some up?

When I went out to get my camera from the car I noticed all of my Iris's are out so I also took a pic of those beautiful things...you can see the primer on my house in the background (This is not the permanent color). Enjoy the week!
