Woohoo...its 85 today..
Yeah, baby...its still winter, but its 85 here today...awesome...its actually quite beautiful and the bluebonnets are out in force on the highways...last week, they hadn't popped up yet...
We spent the day in the Land of Home Repairs...that would be Lowe's Home Improvement store...we ordered a new groovy, modern fan for our upstairs to replace the one that just mysteriously stopped working...we've decided we want our upstairs to be 'modern' while the downstairs will be 'old fashioned country farm house'...I'm kinda liking this modern thing, I don't naturally gravitate toward that design, so its fun to shop for it...good thing IKEA is just down the road...
We also found two art deco style floor lamps...and then we shifted gears to the kitchen and bought a new sink and faucet...for all the really neato repairs/upgrading that has been done on this house, and its been extensive indeed, the kitchen sink and faucet are pretty bad...I hate them...the faucet isn't even installed properly...so that's our project tomorrow...we've put together the two art deco lamps and they are glowing upstairs, and I've just put together the 3 IKEA lights and am getting ready to hang them on the wall...I still need to paint, but I'll get to that upstairs after awhile...painting will be a big project that happens all over the house...inside, anyway...the outside seems to be fine for now...our new furniture arrives sometime this week, I think...we've been roughing it w/out furniture in the front room and so it'll be nice to start living like real people again...
And while in Austin, I stopped by BlueMoon to pick up some glass and just hang out and ended up signing up for the Bronwen Heilman class on Monday/Tuesday...I had signed up for her previously and had to cancel, so this is gonna be fun...and WAYYY out of my comfort zone of familiarity, so I expect to learn a bunch of stuff that I'd never know how to do...and I think I need a class, I haven't taken anything in over 18 months and I always enjoy classes so...this will be good...I also found some neato navy blue glass, so I'll see what I can do with that...
I made some more organic beads, but am kinda not sure that I like some of them...I dunno...I have some ideas of how to use them, but I need to keep practicing..I'll have beads for ya'll next week sometime after Tuesday, tho..I'll be tied up pretty completely for those first two days...
The weather man is saying we'll have some showers tomorrow...figures- I finally washed my car and it looks so pretty...
