Warning: Construction Zone

Here it is, twenty-seven days until Christmas and

we are starting a wee reno.

On the weekend we happily bid farewell to the carpets we hated disliked immensely.

Now we just have to level the floors, remove icky sconces, choose colours and paint three rooms, lay hardwood, prepare the fireplace for refacing, paint and install new baseboards. I thought we were just laying the hardwood. Things kind of escalated.

My Christmas crafting has taken a back seat. Even my lovely holiday chalkboard plans have been laid aside. I PhotoShopped over the two words I had finished

so that I could bring you my

entirely digital chalkboard art... 

I received the most deeeelightful package in the mail yesterday and I cannot wait to tell you about it!! For now, all you get to see is the same plywood floors and spackled walls that we're enjoying.

I may be a little bit absent over the next week or so
as I hang up my crochet hook and wield a paint brush.

I will check in with you when I can sneak away take a break. 

Thanks for checking in !
