Happy New Year everyone! I feel at a loss for words at the moment. I guess that is what happens when you take a break from blogging (and get sick! :). Since I am seriously struggling to write a catch up post, maybe I won't. Maybe I'll just get back into the swing of things by posting like I normally do. Sometimes I am intimate here on the blog, and sometimes I get straight to the point and show you guys what I have been up to. But this post was just to say hey! and to ask how your holiday and new year's was before I jumped back into projects.
We spent time with my side of the family during Christmas and New Year's, and it was really nice. I went clothes shopping for the first time in a very long time (pre-baby). I feel like a new momma. I really don't like to shop for clothes, but I have no problem shopping for the home or for fabric. Getting dressed is a chore for me and has definitely caused a few unnecessary arguments between the husband and I during our time being married. :)
A few things got done around the home too like scoring a $67 8 x 10 Urban Outfitters rug for my bedroom, adding lights to our living room, centering our kitchen light over the island, updating my kitchen island with a neutral graphic print, and hanging two small plants over my kitchen sink. Are you excited to see my kitchen? I don't think much has changed from the previous times you have seen it, but I have not done an official kitchen reveal that most people like to see. I love peeking into other people's homes. At night time, if people's lights are on and the blinds are open or up, I'll glance in. From the street of course . . . and if I just happen to be out walking . . . at night. You don't have to worry about me hiding in your bushes. But I'll take a home tour any day over a day at the mall.
How was your holiday?!

Welcome back! The holidays (& illness!) do really change the routine, don't they? I feel like I've barely gotten going again, and am working to finish up some wips AND start some scrappy things...
ReplyDeletehello! hope you are feeling better now!
ReplyDeleteI used to love shopping - pre kids era. Now it is a chore. Though I would like to do some without kids soon.
So sorry you were sick too! Everyone I know was sick. I had three weeks of vacation time to use and was healthy for the first .5 week then the baby got sick for a week then I got sick for a week and then my husband was sick for the last few days. Everyone is healthy just in time for the return to work. Such a bummer!
ReplyDeleteI went shopping too, which I've done very little since M was born. And now I have a stack of things to return. I just can't stand to keep clothing I'm not totally in love with. But the returning is such a pain. Ugh!
You know, you could make some clothes if you really hate shoppping....... :D
ReplyDeleteYou didn't catch my crap did you? I am SO sorry if you did. It was exhausting great fun shopping with you. I wore my purple tights to church on Sunday. Now I am sick with some other nasty. Bleh! Your quilt in your next post is amazing too!
