The Joys of

being a homeowner! NOT

I know I have been MIA for a while a will probably be MIA just a little longer. But it all revolves around the joys of being a homeowner!

7 years ago I bought my own home as a single woman with 2 kids. I bought a century home that needed a ton of improvements. The boys and I worked for 3 solid months before we could even move in. A century home comes with lots of great features - wide woodwork, pocket doors, wonderful built in china cabinet and all sorts of other great features. A century home also comes with century old goodies like plaster walls instead of dry wall, old wiring, gas line pipes for lighting and so much more.

My wonderful home with all its goodies decided that it was time for a new kitchen ceiling. The plaster ceiling fell in about a week ago. With this came a ton of coal dust which is everywhere. We have gotten the ceiling replaced, but now have to finish skimming the walls, paint and finish up this job. Unfortunately, my craft room is right outside of the kitchen, so until the kitchen is finished, my craft space is kind of out of commission due to the fact that the dust is everywhere.

I will try to post a couple of projects later this week that I have managed to work on when the contractor was not here and I had a chance to clean up first.

Hoping all is going wonderfully in your world, wherever you may be.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful day filled with all that your heart desires!
