Alison Blogs HereSemi-Dangerous When Thinking

Besides painting. Vacuum. Sew. Apply Frontline to cats. Only four cats. Thinking about that still makes me sad. Write a check for band shoes. These shoes are cheap – maybe I’ll make the kids wear them all the time. I can’t think about much else, because I’m tired and headachey and it’s still raining, and [...]
There’s nothing to stop me from working on the studio except, well, lack of motivation. Once I actually start, it’ll be fine. It’s a nasty rainy day again, and that always messes with my sinuses, making me tired and headachey. Plus, even though I’m making progress, there’s still enough clutter and disarray (and since we’re [...]
So. . .I can’t do much more in the bedroom until the new floor comes in, and we decide what kind of fabrics and area rugs will work with the new paint and the new floor. However, our new enclosed garage needs to get started in order to begin its new life as an art [...]
Keep in mind that even though the painting’s done, the room is still a work in progress! The carpet has to go, the window treatments haven’t even been shopped for, much less chosen, and we might decide to rearrange the furniture again. But you can see the color, that’s for sure. . . So, what [...]
Ah, finally. Now we can move some of the furniture back and see if we like the new layout before we move everything around again to put down a floor. It looks so lovely and cheerful! It’s nice to see, too, that I haven’t lost my touch, it was just the paint. Using the stuff [...]
Had to call hubby to figure out why half the electric in the bedroom cut out – it was because I painted close to an outlet that wasn’t attached to its box, which tripped the GFCI in the other room that kept working but shut off everything else without tripping a circuit breaker. Yeah, our [...]
Last night we moved more furniture out of the way so I could finish painting. I have nailed, caulked, spackled, taped, primed (except for the spackled parts) and scraped and vacuumed, and soon I’ll sand the spackle and prime it, then start cutting in. I’m so tired. And sore. This is just paint, too. When [...]
I was on a roll yesterday. I primed the trim on the 2 1/2 walls that don’t have furniture against them, and since hubby did the driving for our saxophone chick, I did the first coat on those walls, too. It is really, really orange. I like it! I’m getting a slow start today, because [...]
Yesterday, hubby and I tackled the bedroom, moving enough stuff out so two walls are clear to paint, nailing in the mouldings, pulling out picture nails and hangers, and spackling and caulking. Today I’ll tape the rug by the trim, sand the spackle, and prime the trim and patches. That’s it. Tomorrow I’ll paint the [...]
Everything does. Nothing is easy when it comes to home fixups, reorganization, you know the drill. As I’ve said before, the house we’re in now was “fixed” by the previous owners. It is clear to us that much of the work was done quickly to help sell the house, and that in addition to that, [...]
