Oh, Guiding Star, guide me to SANITY!!!
We just started a renovation to our house today and I am already about to go nuts with the noise. It doesn’t help that it’s happing directly over my head while I am in the studio.
Maybe I should have saved my vacation for when it was done? But then the kids will be back in school so I would have to wait until next summer!
I had such a nice vacation with the family. My fingernails actually grew!!! LOL!!! I wonder how long that will last with the ruckus now. The five of us were in a very small 2 bedroom condo overlooking the beach. Or what’s left of it after the storms last year. I even got in the ocean and pool!!! Which means I put a swimsuit on!!! I think my hubby took pictures, but he never sent them to me. Sorry, can’t share.
We came back right into the swing of things. Moving furniture and packing up rooms for the demolition to start and I was back at recording video for this week’s block. I think block 3 video was a bit better. I’m still learning and switching things up. Honestly, I would rather be sewing. But, hey, I want you to learn how to paper piece, so I do it out of love for you!!!! LOL!!!
On the morning of July 21st it will be moved from the blog post and sent to my Etsy shop, ShoppeLovinglyLissa! Keep reading to find out about a special sale!
