Remember how worried I was about Makinlee 4 months ago? It’s amazing what being surrounded by friends, family, & the country will do for a child. I have my daughter back and even though at times I wish she would stop the attitude I wouldn’t change her for anything. Look out world because this girl holds nothing back. She’s a fighter, this little flip of a thing. It’s a battle sometimes but I know that she will never let anything stop her.

I’ve been a bad girl (hiding head in shame).  With all the expenses on the house I have really cut back the spending unless it’s FOR the house.  However, I couldn’t resist the latest purchase.

Janome CoverPro 900

It will be in the house.  Does that count?  This is my 3rd machine.  My collection is now complete.

Now if I only had the time to sew.  I will very soon!  We should be in the house within 3 weeks.  Our painters started this morning.  It is starting to look more and more like livable space.

This update is going to be short and sweet.  There is so much going on in our lives right now I honestly don’t know if I’m coming or going.

• HL’s dad was hospitalized two weeks ago.  He is still in the acute care facility.  We do not know if he will ever be the same again.  He is fighting for his life and the freedom he had before entering the hospital.  We spend half of our time at the hospital and the other working on the house.
• The second story of the farmhouse is moving forward.  Thank goodness for good contractors.
• We are working on the tile as we can.  Makinlee’s bathroom is ready for grout.  Hopefully that will be done tomorrow.
• My beautiful copper range hood is on it’s way!
• Move in goal, May 2nd.

Makinlee’s Bathroom Floor Tile.  Doesn’t it just scream farmhouse?
