Out Camping…House On Market…
Hi! Still here! Tons of news:
1. House is now on market. We don’t have our hopes set too high, housing is down, economy is in rough shape, we’ve got nothing better to do…we thought we’d throw it up and see what comes of it. I’ve been working like a Chinese Factory Worker getting it in show condition–deep clean, shampooing carpets, throwing out junk, touching up paint, polishing, packing up ALL personal items, repairing small odds and ends. Up at 5:00, to bed by 10:00, hard labor in between. I’d wake in the morning and think “5 more minutes…” My inner TaskMaster would say “GET UP! YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO DALLY! GET UP! GET UP! GET UP!”
It’s been 3 weeks of absolute torture. I’m done and the house looks great. If it doesn’t sell, well…I still live in a gorgeous house.
2. My dress form came in!!! I am so excited! (Exclamation Points!!!) I haven’t had time to really play with it because of our decision to put the house up for sale. I’m working on a new summer dress; that’s on it right now.
I left a nice review for the book “Fit Made Easy” on Amazon.com and Jill Ralston, co-author of “Fit Made Easy” copied it to the Fabulous Fit website. I found out by calling Fabulous Fit to get a status update of shipping for my dress form and she was nice enough to thank me for my review. I asked if she would autograph my copy of “Fit Made Easy” if I sent it to her. She did. Her autograph included the advice “….Play!…” This IS play. Playing with Barbies wasn’t this much fun. So I’m having a ball!
Our realtor is holding an Open House tomorrow from 1:00-3:00. We left to go camping this weekend to be out of the way. When we get home (since ALL housework is done)…I’m going straight up to my sewing room and do “play-play”. Here’s a bit of my sewing room from our Active MLIS:
Sorry. Copied them from our MLIS on the interwebbies and I can’t manipulate them.
Anyway. Till Monday…with new photos and stories from the sewing room.
Bye!
