Sick in Bed…

Uncategorized


I had an incredibly productive weekend… followed by a horrible migraine and upset stomach that kicked in moment I woke up this morning. I did something I haven’t done in over a year – I slept in until 11am! I sat in front of my sewing machine for a few minutes before making my way over to the couch where I plan on spending the rest of my day, with Oliver by my side, a cup of hot Chai tea in front of me, some documentaries on the TV, and some knitting in my hand. I love Ohhh Lulu so much I forget that sometimes I need to stop… and rest. So this is a good chance to do so.

I looked at 2 more houses over the weekend (we are up to 20 now). The first was an open house up the street. The house had some serious issues – needed to be jacked up in the basement to fix some sloping floors, had no appliances, a needed a bathroom gut-job, and the garage looked like it might fall down any day now. However, it had some great features and was relatively inexpensive (relatively still being $165,000) – a fireplace that could be converted to gas, a gorgeous 1920’s wood banister, beautiful foyer, lots of space, huge bathroom, beautiful wood trim, and a window seat in the staircase. The second house I looked at was about… one hundred thousand dollars more than what we can afford, but we went to the open house anyway “just to see how the other half lived.” It was nice, and put every house I’ve looked at to shame… I left regretting looking at that house.
Anyway… In more exciting news:
I’m giving away a NEW design on Leelala.net tomorrow! Stay tuned for more details tomorrow. Good Luck!

    Sorry you aren't feeling well! When I bought my house it needed to be jacked up too, and it wasn't that big of a deal. The seller actually paid for it. If everything else is great, don't let that be a deal breaker! It sounds a lot scarier than it is. We'd sag a little too if we were that old…. 🙂
