Kitchen makeover... Part 1 of ?

This is what our kitchen looks like


That is, until we decided that this window


Should be a door. So now it looks like this



Though, for a minute or so it looked like this





But now it's lovely and the puppies don't tromp though the garage and pee all over the place (when they're not peeing in the kitchen that is)
Today, there will be a little deck/ step off the back. Are you excited? I know Birdie is!!

OCD meets compulsive shopping

Look what I got!


It's a rubba scrubba and swisha from flylady.net! You can't really tell from this poorly lit photo, but the scrubbie parts are bright purple. and very scrubbie.

I totally wuv them! I can scrub anything. ANYTHING!!! Learn more about it all HERE!

Solidarity- doggie style.

Birdie just peed on the floor in the hall. The hall I just mopped because she peed in it twice today.

So she went to the garage for a time out.
Fancy sat at the door, as an act of sisterhood. Of solidarity. Of civil puppy rights.

And when I let The Bird back in, fancy hit her in the face.

So much for the cause.

I'm having trouble with my sewing machine:



So I can't do anything with this stuff yet:





And that makes me mad.

Good Puggle/Bad Puggle

This is the puppy that woke me up at 5:30.



The same puppy tormented this puppy, very noisily, until 7 when I just decided to get up.



Thank goodness for coffee. And my foresight to pick up some last night.

Y'all, math is hard.

I used to be good at math. I used to get good grades and like, a good SAT score. I'm pretty fast with arithmetic (which, for you under twentys, is an old timey word for adding, multiplying, and the like). But I can't seem to stick to a budget.

My multitude of obsessions/ interests does not help. At any given time, I absolutely MUST purchase one or more items to satisfy my urge to:
-cook something tasty
-drink something bubbly
-make something from purlbee.com or younghouselove.com or dana-made-it or ... You get the idea.
-purchase something for our upcoming trip to new york. Like a coat. And sweaters. Tights. Legally Blonde tickets.

Did I mention we want to remodel the kitchen and buy a Honda element??? Gahhhhh

I made a blanket. NBD.

I made this.




It's felted wool and super warm. If I knew how to post a link to the tutorial I made it from, I would. But I can't. So just go to purlbee.com and look at Trip Around the Wool from molly's sketchbook.


It was good times.
