The chaos that is the Sew at Home Mummy household...
12:36:00 PMOh. My. Goodness.
Well, 2014 went out with a BANG!
We spent the 4 days over the Thanksgiving weekend haggling over this beaut with its sellers:
 |
| Don't you love that door??? Although, the yellow may need to go... our 1960 midcentury modern house. WOOT! |
We close on the house at the end of this month, so I've been busy scheduling movers and permits and moving boxes (yes! moving boxes! check these out: The Chicago Green Box) and all the rest of the stuff that goes with moving.
On top of that, December was my busiest month for Etsy sales, which I'm really happy about. I'm never going to be a millionaire, but it keeps me busy and makes me happy!
As well, we were SO lucky to have my parents fly the entire family down to Mexico to spend the holidays in the 85F weather (oh man, it was nice!). We had an absolute blast, and Audrey was in her absolute glory:
...we spent every day on the beach or at the pool, and the kids had a blast. Ewan was a bit fussy for the whole trip, but what can you expect from a 1 year old?
So!
I'll be busy with house-y stuff for the next month or so while my husband and I make some improvements to it before we all move in in mid-February. I get to bust out my DIY skillz I've been squelching for the last 4 years whilst we rented.
Boo ya.
Look out.
Might have to rename the blog "DIY & Sew at Home Mummy"
I jest.
