Happy New Year! I hope your 2012 was a good one, and that 2013 is even better! I enjoyed looking at what I got checked off of my to-do list last year, so I thought I’d do it again this year. Thanks for indulging me 🙂 I started off 2012 declaring that I would finish […]

I’m starting to get itchy–before now I was submerged in what I was doing, but now that I’m getting to the end of the stint I took on, projects are starting to poke into my temporary bubble of “no DIYing”. The one that is threatening to pop it is a sign for the laundry room. […]

Done! The board and batten is done! I’m going to admit something other blogs may never do–I had an evening with a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach because I had most of it up and I wasn’t loving it. Literally a sick stomach. I was SO SO SO sure that I was […]
