The year is about to end in a couple of months. Where did the time go? Audrey is almost 3. She'll be 3 in January. By end of the this year I'll be in the house for a year already. How fast time went by.
The house is...well...at least it is still standing.... There are still lots to be done. I have paintings to do. Yes, yes I know...I am too lazy to paint. I know it is not a hard thing to do but when I am home sometimes I just want to relax and do nothing. I picked out the color for the dining room already. It is a lovely shade of pretty light blue green (by Benjamin Moore). The dining room ceiling's paint color is called Bone White by Benjamin Moore as well. The color combo is wonderful. I cannot wait to finish it and post a picture here.
Last weekend I got a vintage settee from an estate sale. I got it for $50. One day I am going to reupholster it. Right now it is in the upstairs porch. When weather is cool and crisp like these days, I like to sit on my vintage settee in the upstairs porch (it's screened in); a hot cocoa in my hand; French jazz music playing in the background. It's the loveliest. I do this when I don't have my little Bee with me. It's very quiet and soothing.
My master bedroom is a work-in-progress. It is okay for now. I am not too too excited about it. It is painted but still got some works need to be done to it. I'd love to have a chandelier hang in there. One of these days I will get one I know.
The Bee's room is pretty much done. I need to paint her bathroom--which is rarely used. Her bathroom is small so it shouldn't take that long to paint.
My craftroom is pretty much done with the exception now I have to hire someone to fix the ceiling. I'd love to have a chandelier hang in there as well but this can wait. Not an urgent need.
The downstairs area is a major work-in-progress. A big mess. Chaotic. I admit it. Mostly due to my lack of excitement in being a handy woman :/
When you live with 2 grumpy old 5-pounder ankle biters aka chihuahuas, 1 highly too energetic jack russell, and 1 needy toddler...... you know what I am talking about. Sure, sure, of course I love them!! Anyways, I will post updates on house renovation progress when I have it. But don't hold your breath on it though!
My little Bee, Audrey, is getting smarter. She is such a joy to be around with now. Wonderful little girl. I love her so much. She copies everything I do--everything. She sleeps on the bed with me. That's our favorite thing to do. We watch princess movies together. She wears her princess skirt every single day. She adores her magic wand. Cinderella is her favorite Disney princess. We go to Disney World gazillion times already--I have an annual pass. That place is her absolute favorite place in this whole wide world. I am serious. She knows now when I tell her: we're going to Disney. She knows! I can see the happiness in her eyes. The excitement. The joy. Each and everytime we go there.
Last night we went to Walmart (I needed to get something....), and we passed the toy aisles....oh dear. Bad idea. She immediately collected all the princess stuff and hapilly put them inside our cart. Then she found princess castle set. She insisted that she wanted one. In every color. Sigh. Then she saw Rapunzel braided hair piece. She shrieked in joy, took one, and tossed it inside our cart. Of course I didn't buy her everything. When we got home, she asked for the Rapunzel hair piece. She went playing with that thing for hours. She kept saying: Rapunzel...let down your hair....
Fun time for her.
I love, love, love, love seeing her happy.
