Busy Busy BUSY!!!!

Hi everyone! I know I have been gone for a bit and I apologize. I have been hugely busy with the renovations on my new home and taking care of my dad and the animals. As well as working on my christmas gifts for people. I am working on several new lines as well. I am hoping to have one set of new baby hats done this week and starting another.

Just to give oyu an idea of what i am dealing with when it comes to my new home,  I will give you a bit of info. We moved the end of June/ beginning of July and before we could move in we had to gut of the 5 rooms in the house due to mold. well we spent a lot of time just trying to  get the place livable. We were living here the first 4 -6 days without running water and even had to fight with the electrician to get 5 working outlets in the entire house as well as 2 working lights. We are in the process of insulating right now. BUT as we insulate I have to scrub down the wood to kill any mold that might be on the wood.  We are still working with VERY limited power and have a running water.  I about cried last week when we finally were able to get our microwave working.

We still have a LOT of electrical to do. There is NO light in our hallway and once we have insulation in its going to be very dark so we need to get that put in, we have to run a line for a sump pump, we have a LOT of nails to pull and scrubbing to do, half our basement has a dirt floor and we need to dig that out and work on the wood there, we also have a lot of work to do on the outside we have cedar siding that needs replaces and painted we JUST got the new front door painted and have to put the screen door on and we have to get the electrical junction box put up so we can put the front light on and even more electrical to deal with to get the ceiling lights and back lights done.

In the middle of this I am working Christmas ornaments which will be gifts for people this year, working a day job, I was sick for a bit, and Dad has been sick for awhile as well. We lost two of my birds which means i have one left and I am not sure if I should get him a friend or not. the dogs are now extremely clingy which  while I dont mind loving I do mind them trying to crawl into my lap while I am using the bathroom  especially the boxer. LOL I will be cheering once the interior doors go on!
