What a week! P and I still had stomach trouble all week, yesterday was the first day I ate with an appetite again. Remember back in November I mentioned that we wanted to go to a Smashing Pumpkins concert on Halloween which was postponed due to Sandy. The make up date was last Monday and we couldn't go thanks to our food poisoning. Big bummer! On Thursday I had my last upholstery class but wasn't able to finish my chair. It is almost done though and I want to sign up for the next course in February anyways. Not sure which chair I'll pick to work on after finishing this one. But that's not a decision I have to make now. I took the photo of the hallway is in the high school I was taking my upholstery class. It reminds me of all the high school movies I watched as a teenager, I always wanted a locker like those kids too. We didn't have any at my school.
This weekend I was a busy bee, checking out a craft fair on Saturday and after returning home in the evening I painted all the trim work in both bathrooms. Sunday I went to a kids birthday party, the daughter of friends turned two and when I came home I started scrubbing the bathrooms, to be able to seal the grout tomorrow after work. On Tuesday the toilets and the vanities will be installed. Which means we can work on the finishing touches over the holiday weekend. I also finally decorated our tree last night and like every year I feel like I need more ornaments. Maybe we'll stop at IKEA this week to buy some more, they might already be on sale too.
What did you guys do this weekend?
I loved watching your weekend unfold on the Gram! Really nice. I'm sorry you've felt so crummy. I've been off too, since Thanksgiving really. Headache after headache, and a tummy thing for me on Friday evening. BLECH. I think it's so funny that I thought you wouldn't be working on your chair for a whole year! That's more like me...and I need to catch up. xo
ReplyDeleteFeel better too Lauren! I have been feeling off for almost two months now. Can't wait for a relaxing Christmas weekend!
DeleteThat is definitely a classic high school hallway if I ever saw one. Straight out of a movie, you're right! We had lockers in my high school, but they were brown and really old. Sorry you missed the concert! I hope you were able to sell them or at least get your money back. Major bummer. Did you two ever figure out what it was that you ate that got you so sick? Just so I know so I can avoid it! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd don't worry about what chair you'll work on next. I'm sure you'll find another awesome one soon. You have good luck with that!
The lockers reminded me of Breakfast Club ;) We didn't sell the tickets because we couldn't get out of bed. It's a bummer but what can you do...I still have 5 chairs sitting in the basement waiting for their turn but I am always open to find another one on the streets ;)
DeleteWoohoo on the bathroom! But sorry to hear about the concert.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very beautiful tree.
Thanks Leena! Can't wait to finish up the bathrooms so I can post the after shots...
DeleteI think your tree looks wonderful! My mom is the same way - the tree at home is overloaded but she always thinks it looks naked without the lights on
ReplyDeleteI am with your mom, without the lights the tree is naked. We turn ours on every night...
Deleteit looks like your chair is so close to being done! i just love the fabric you chose, it has a perfect balance of retro modern. what a bummer about the concert. i have never seen smashing pumpkins but it's a band i can still enjoy listening to after all these years, it totally takes me my to days of youth. and your tree! how pretty is that tree!!
ReplyDeleteThe chair is almost done, I can't wait to finish it in February. I guess I only need one more night...
