Okay… it’s been a long time since I posted! No excuses… I’m a slacker!
Been working most days… I think I over registered with school districts to sub! I do stay busy easily and that is good… but I have to constantly turn down at least two districts a day… that is not so good… If I don’t have a full-time for next year I may pare down who I sub for a bit…
My Monday night ASL class is going well… I really enjoy the language and it’s getting me back into the world of the Deaf a few steps at a time. I have some lofty goals that include melding both education and the Deaf world and if that were to happen… well, it would be like everything I wanted to be when I grew up coming to fruition… So I’ll be in my mid to late thirties by the time I accomplish the lofty goals… That’s okay. It takes some of us longer to grow up then others! LOL! I had to stop along the way to investigate the worlds of nursing as an aide, then accounting, then computer networking.
Okay, so… back to the new sewing room. Well, upstairs we used to have our bedroom years ago before we put on the addition… This was the first version of our bedroom, when it was upstairs:
Our bedroom had two windows.
There was another room upstairs that I turned into my craft room. It only had one window and was a bit smaller…
Then, down the road, we moved our bedroom downstairs… I kept the craft room the same and our old bedroom got a new coat of paint (an even darker purple! and green trim) and became the guest bedroom… The carpet remained the same carpet it had been when we bought the house in 1998… Six years after we moved our bedroom downstairs I finally woke up and thought… hey, why don’t I have my craft and sewing room in the larger room with TWO windows??? And so… here you have, my new and MUCH IMPROVED, sewing room… I haven’t moved in yet… That comes later this week…
It’s brighter, both because of the light paint and because of the TWO windows… the floor no longer gives me an asthma attack, and I can see the driveway from the room. Happy!
Side notes: The paint color I picked out this time? By far the most “normal” paint color I have ever chosen in my life! The floor? Laminate from ifloor.com. Less then half the price of even close to comparable flooring from the local big boxes!
