Hanging In-I think
This has been a really hairy & crazy week. Here I went & posted my super-duper great schedule & in no way shape or form could i stick to it ! Im so sad that I did not get to participate in the any of the massive declutter & clean week, so Im going to have to create my own next month when all this chaos is over. First- we smelled something in our sons room so we pulled up his rug to find the whole floor & side of the house rotting away. Then we needed to figure out where all the water was coming in & it turns out the whole roof is done for. So off came walls, and roofing, and insulation,and,and,and,.......... So needless to say, I couldn't do much cleaning when my house is all hanging open and falling apart. So Im having to practice some extreme faith right now that things will be OK, even though its freezing out and winter is almost here.It 's a real shock to do renos in the winter unexpectedly, but we will survive. I was hoping to post next about how thrillingly clean my house was , but now all I can do is laugh! Because thats what you have to do at this point thats for sure!
I will show you the 2 coupon,card,wallets that i had finished, and loaded in the shop, just in the nick of time before all this crazy stuff happened, and before my sewing machine was burried onder 100`s of pounds of childrens clothes, and games, and lego, when we took everything out of the boys rooms. I am missing all of your wonderful blogs, and hope to be normal again soon!

Oh no! I am glad to hear your sense of humor about it all...wow. I'd be running around in a half-scream. Love the wallets! Hope things get back to (semi)normal soon!
What a week! I hope it all gets sorted really quickly for you. Lovely wallets BTW :)
Wow, sorry to hear about all the chaos. I pray that all goes well in time for the cold temps.
Oh no, bad news about the roof ! Hope some one fixes it for you before it gets too cold ! ~ Julia x
Thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed that all the dramas are over soon for you!
The wallets are gorgeous - as is everything you do!
Take care xx
Murphy's Law always seems to kick into effect the very second we feel comfortable with establishing a schedule. What a shame about your unexpected house challenges and I hope it's all resolved soon.
The new projects are really cute!
Oh Angie, how disappointing about the roof. OK so no thrillingly clean house but living by extreme faith=awesome!

Several years ago we had an attic fire in November and the house had to be worked on for five months-all the way through winter. It actually rained in my living room. Though, we weren't allowed to live in it while it was being fixed-much too much damage.
It is hard to go through such sudden redos and especially in the winter but I think these things generally turn out pretty well. When you're done you will have a healthier cleaner house.
Wishing you a speedy reno! I was cringing when I read your post. Water, mold, rot... reno costs. Life in the Pacific Northwest, eh. Oh how I ache for you!
On a funny creepy icky note. A friend's daughter had moved a box that was sitting on her carpet in a back bedroom (more of a storage room). And behind it she got a horrid surprise... mushrooms growing. IN HER HOUSE!
And the cupcake is adorable!
Angie,
I have had such trouble commenting here, but hopefully this will go through :o) I hope everyone is feeling better at your house. Hope to see you soon at the board.
Sorry to hear about the roof. Hope everything goes well soon.
BTW, that cucpcake is looking yummilicious!
