House Update-Stone Color

Hello!

 

Sadly I don't have any updated photos of the basement/house.

 

Aiden and I have been sick.  Fortunately, I got it worse and have an upper respiratory infection that I'm trying to get rid of.  I even lost my voice and its still gone...not fun! LOL

 

So we haven't been out there due to us being sick and it's been really cold here and were pretty much at a standstill till  we get temp electricity out to our property, which is scheduled for NEXT Friday.

 

I swear there is never a sense of urgency in home building it appears. 

 

Basically, there is water in the basement and they need to pump it out to pour the flooring.  Also it snowed again today and is suppose to rain next week so no progress.

 

Anyways, I just wanted to post a photo of our stone selection we chose for our main arch for the entry of the home.

 

We went with this color:

 



 

But we want it in the cut cobblestone look, which looks like this

 

 

 

Confused yet? LOL  Try looking at 1,000 stone selections and types of stones (how they are cut). 

 

We wanted the stone to not be "perfect" and have clean cut corners so we choose cobblestone. 

 

I am so excited we were able to add stone to our home, Brent and I  have always loved the houses that had Stone and brick today.

 

It seems so surreal that THIS year we will be in our new home (well....hopefully, if it quits snowing and raining LOL)

 

Have a great weekend!

TGIF!

TGIF! Yes...its Friday and we are ready for the weekend here in my house! I will be working on my secret surprise (cant wait to tell you all very soon!) and working on Aidens bedding/quilt again.

I was so sick the other day. My back was killing me. I literally couldnt sit, stand, slouch...anything! I think it was the longest day of my life...terrible. I was also getting very sick to my stomach and couldnt keep anything down. Try doing all of that while watching a very active almost 3 year old. Bless his heart..he did treat me pretty well ;)

But I am BETTER! Thank goodness so Im not sure if the sick part was the heavy medicine I was taking? We have been having cooler weather here and we are loving it! However, tonight Kenny Chesney is playing and its the first time (except when Aiden was born) I am missing the concert :(

I have been so busy working on BANNERS for my store. Here are a few custom ones I have been doing.

*Remember...my customers are paying me for my time, energy, and the cost of supplies and not the images on the banners or party items*

Sick Sick Sick........

Hello!

I am alive! Sorry for not blogging so much. I have had this posted started for so long now but always got taken away before I could finish :(

Aiden comes first during the day, by the time I am done working on orders or spending time with my family its time for bed, and now I am sick. I went to the Dr yesterday and was given some steroid form of medicine to help me kick this whole Sinus thing...not fun!

I need to get better since its the holiday weekend and we will be at both sides of family. Poor Aiden also has this and Brent was sick from work yesterday.

We also had some pretty nasty storms here in the midwest and are just glad they are over..for now! I have been busy working with my Etsy items and one of the items is a smaller version of my balloon wreath which I will add soon to my store! This wreath is a 12" versus the 18" in the store now.

I hope you come back soon and have a great weekend!!
