Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

on
So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Too Much to Do...So Little TIME!

on


Well, my body is rid of a few extra things that were hanging around in there and I am finally feeling better even though it's only been 6 days. For those that know me I don't sit well - I'm very high strung - and usually bounce right back after surgery but this one got me!!!! I have Christmas trees to get up and tons of sewing to get done as well as baking since it's that time of year.

I have 14 full size trees to get up and yes I said 14, that's one for every room but the bathroom. They are all themed and decorated until you can't see any green :>) My kiddos love it and can't wait til they get home from school each day during the first part of November to see which ones I have up.

My middle son also loves pumpkin pie so I bake a lot of pie as well. (By the way My mom and I were out looking for pumpkin - as I mentioned in an earlier post something about this pumpkin shortage - and finally found some at Aldi's. However, while we were grabbing several cans for ourselves, some lady came and grabbed 3 flats of pumpkin!)

As for sewing I do have several posting already of Christmas items but since I've been down for a week and have orders to fill, I haven't gotten all my Christmas 2009 lines listed yet. Continue to check over this course of this month as they will be there by December. A few of the new ones I got finished before surgery are shown here.

Oh yeah, did I mention that I am getting my Masters Degree as well....SHOOO, what a deal I have going on right now but like I said I don't SIT. Because I am high strung I can handle it!

Blessings to all this fabulous day! The SUN is SHINING in Missouri today...YEAH!
