I want to be in San Fransisco

KathleenCrowleyCostumeCouture: Who Gets Waltzes Composed For Her............. Reall, I want to be in San Fransisco!!!

tidbit

I am going to blog about moving last weekend. But I want to post the picture Jason took with it. Silly? Probably.

I feel like its crunch time. There are only little bits of sewing left to do, and my sis has been great about the cake decorating. She's made three mock cakes and sent us pics so we can say yea/nae about this or that(above). Everyone has been so supportive and helpful. I've been going over to the new house for a little while everyday to clean some of the things that were moved in, or take over things of my own. Jason gave me some money to use for organizing the draws in the kitchen. That was fun, and he asked me to pick out some place mats and napkins. We think once we get both our houses integrated we might have to have a yard sale. We have a bit of overlap.

School is going well, but as the middle of the semester approaches more and more tests creep up and projects come due. Thankfully I have a plan.

TaDa!

HA! I get to check something off my wedding list. YAY! I hope she likes it and that it fits good. Abby's top is done. I made lists yesterday of the things I need to do before the wedding. One is school stuff the other wedding stuff. 21 things on the school list. 34, now 33, on the wedding list. 38 days till the wedding. Yeah, I might be stressed. Just a little. I can't wait for 39 days from now! :)

Wood Floors

Jason is so patient with me. I wanted to clean and oil the floors before he moved his things into the new house and wasn't able to get to it till very late Friday night. He helped a lot and they look awesome! He also found a pretty screen for the fireplace and a nice carpet to go in front of it. This evening after I've done some sewing, I'm going over to line the shelves and drawers and clean the cabinets. Last night we got his pictures and the clothes he doesn't need right now, and a lot of other boxes and things over to the house. Being in that house, even though I know I don't live there yet feels so right. The whole house is full of peace and promise. I am truly blessed. Truly.

Just a quick note. We got the keys to the new house on monday! I'm so excited, its a beautiful house, wood floors and a fire place and a back yard that is just big enough, but not too big. Jason starts moving in soon. And in six weeks I'll live there too!

More Progress

Sideways. That's fitting, I feel a bit sideways right now. The top half or front bra part of Abby's top. It's late and I have school tomorrow, so the front of her top is done. I will do the rest tomorrow or Wednesday. So close!

BOOTY

Look at my booty!!! Well, I should say "our" booty. Jason did purchase them. But I carried them all over the expo center and parking lot..... HA! 671 letters, numbers and symbols in varying sizes. Ah, the amount of joy the acquisition of this treasure brings to my heart cannot be put to words. We, Jason and I, went to the community yard sale today. It was huge, and very very crowded. And for the most part overpriced. We'd been there for maybe 10-15 min. when I spied an open suitcase full of letters and numbers and such from a printing press or something. There was a sign reading ".50 for large or 3 for a $1, .25 for small or 5 for a $1" So I set about trying to find the letters to spell something thinking "What a bargain!" Then I hear the champion of my heart ask, "How much would to take for all of them?" I couldn't believe my ears. $44 was the price. I told him I thought that was a bargain and before I could take it all in we were closing the case and making out like bandits! YAY!! I also acquired some very nice hand crocheted lace for next to nothing and a wrought iron butterfly. It was a very good day.
