rock n roll addition

we are done with the addition!!! yahoooooo! now we just need to get ourselves moved in.(i also need to get my new craft space organized which is becoming a daunting prospect in my mind...what if i don't use this gorgeous space in the most efficient way???)

anyway, my husband created this video that captures the entire 4 month process in a few minutes...and i have to say it was an exciting 4 months and the guys that did the work could not have been any greater...i actually miss them, they were starting to feel like family.

holy cow

wow. WOWOWOWOWOWOW!
so, the addition project is just about done, just a couple of little details are left to be finished. this is a picture of the new CRAFT ROOM. i am really freaking happy about this. i am in a little bit of shock as well.
it has been about 4 months of construction and now there is this beautiful open space...
i think that with all of the construction my energy was really occupied with the bare necessities of daily life..and now that the fellas are gone, i feel like a space is opening up inside of me as well as in our home. all of a sudden new ideas are coming to me as is the motivation to work on 'em.
YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. those are lockers i found in a DUMPSTER up on the wall, i can't wait to fill them with paint, scissors, fabric, glue, sparkly things, paper, ribbon, glitter, buttons, stamps, tape, things i can't bear to throw away, letters from special peeps, and i guess BILLS and boring stuff as well.....(basically all of the things i leave strewn about the house and drive my husband INSANE with...)

p.p.s. that is an old door we purchased at Urban Ore. We thought we were being so green and self righteous...ha! Joke is on us. the chemicals it is taking to get that freaking lead paint off (not to mention the potential health risks) is not what i would call green.

holy freaking moly

the most crucial part of the entire project...portable loo!

free (ha ha ha ha ha ha) entertainment for the girls...

notice the sense of complete overwhelmedness (yeah yeah, I know that is not a word) i am exuding in this photo

just hanging in the new space

coming along now!

hello! I have been a little crazier that usual lately...it is all good stuff but crazy making none the less. we are adding a new bathroom, bedroom and wait for it...wait for it...A CRAFT ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

this has been going on for about 2 months now, and i think the funniest part is how in the beginning i would get dressed in the morning before the carpenters (lovely fellows those guys) came. Now they get the real Amy...crazy pajamas, unbrushed teeth, bleary eyed, coffee guzzling me.

I can't wait to see the end result...this has been an overall very good experience...sometimes the noise and action do drive me batty but that really seems like a lucky thing to complain about...so, i will zip it.

ok, i will post more soon!!!!
