Thanks so much for all of the supportive comments you have been leaving everyone I am doing really well, and it means a lot to me that you’re sticking around! People around me are consistently telling me how happy I seem, and calmer, as if a weight I hadn’t known was there has been lifted. Maybe so.

The fireplace “marble” is actually a painted faux finish. I originally intended to immediately paint over it, but everyone who visits seems to like it, so perhaps it may stay.

Looking back into the rest of the apartment.

Center room

Large walk-in closet in the center room. This apartment has never ending storage- a definite must! Just inside the closet door there is another wood door… my closet has a closet inside.

Kitchen

I’m a bit worried about the open cabinets, because I don’t have a lot of nice looking kitchen things.

Yesssssss.
That is one fine brown stove.

Bedroom

Small but it works with my set!

Bathroom

So, it’s a cute place.

I am still on blogging vacation while my life undergoes a walkabout. Just sharing some photos that I’ve taken lately.

My iPod changes clothes frequently. This is a slightly heavier paper with 3D glitter spots, and I had a hard time getting it to snap shut.

I’ve seen several of those small fabric houses online, but no birdhouses, so I made one.

I appliquéd this golf course scene onto a golf towel, meant for Valentine’s Day gift.

I hand-screen printed my OHIO F’N ROCKS design onto this green tote along with a silver metallic decal. Then I faded the edges a bit with some black spray paint. I like it, but the perfectionist in me isn’t happy with the screenprint quality.

I made these two pillows from my bridesmaid dresses for two friends’ weddings. I matched them to the style of wedding they had- the pink was soft and romantic, the orange was sleek and sophisticated. The girls loved them.

On a personal side note, I am continuing to adjust okay. I have landed a great little apartment near my work, and am looking forward to moving in next weekend. And every moment has been busy with the paperwork, phone calls, account changes, needed to change your life, interspersed with bright fun moments spent with friends that keep me going.
