Office/Craft Room
Originally uploaded by sewitsforyou

So we are finally done with phase one of the flooring. Whew. I am looking forward to crafting and getting the house back to it's normal amount of clutter and disarray not the tornado looking state it has been for the past couple of weeks.

I haven't done any crafting for the past couple weeks, because frankly I couldn't find anything. I am still missing things. I think I have become more scatterbrained with age, and I am looking so foward to being yet another year older in a couple of weeks..ugh. The girl in front of us at the George Michael concert told me the name of a band, I even wrote it down and I can't remember it for the life of me..I think in my attempt to be green I recycled the paper...but in any event still do not know the "brilliant british band" she was talking about :o(. I have been listening to duffy lately and texas....

I am working on a new crafty venture with my friend...more to come but the wheels are in motion for something fantabulous.

George Michael and Flooring

This was George on the big screen on the side of the stage. I didn't want Dan to get the most expensive tickets. I went to hear him I think I still picture him in my head like the Wham GM or the Faith GM.

We went out for dinner and being the anal person I can be got there like over an hour before the show started. I was so excited and thought parking in downtown Tampa could be a pain, plus we have had a lot of rain lately , not just rain thunderstorms so I wanted to be able to park and not be wet..lol We chatted with a British family in front of us. They were really sweet. We people watched and there were some lookers, different than a Depeche Mode concert but a lot of people in Tampa that don't own mirrors.

He was like 45 minutes late and apologized 1st for being late and second for being gone so long. He said he was late because he wasn't used to the ac in the states and we could tell because it was so ridiculously hot. Dan and I stood and danced the whole night we were soaked. I know some of the shows in the UK were 3 hours ours was a bit under two. He sang a lot of Wham songs but not "I want your sex". He did sing "I'm your man" "Father Figure " the pic below is from that, "Too Funky", Faith, I can't remember all the rest he did the second encore was freedom. I danced my ass off and I don't dance..I did almost get in a fight, the entire arena was up dancing and some lady behind me had the nerve to tell me to sit down. the 10 rows in front and to the side of me were standing up and when I sat down I could not see. it wasn't like I was the only one standing up while everyone else was sitting down

Long story short, I loved seeing him. I will always remember it. Dan and I had a great time and hopefully he will tour again.



We spent all day yesterday laying down our new bamboo flooring. My knees and lower back are killing me. Crafting is much easier. Dan did all of the saw work and I laid a lot of the flooring down. We still need to finish with the quarter round and all but it is mostly done. Dan wants to start on the office this week but when he called me exhausted form work this morning he said he was in a world of hurt so those plans may change.

George Michael Tomorrow Night!!!

Ok so I found the Wham Bag, well actually I never really lost it..lol

I am so excited to see George Michael. I have loved him since I was 11 and I have kept this purse since I was 12. My parents brought it back from England when they went on a business trip. I should have known back then my fondness for British men, it must have started with George and ended with Dan. He is not so happy about going to the show. The people at his work have been giving him a really tough time singing the words and making these cutouts of george. I told him that he needs to say he is taking me for my b-day and that if they dislike GM so much how come they know all the words to his songs? I am so excited. I do not know the last concert I was this excited for maybe U2 or The Who or Depeche Mode??

Here is what the guest bedroom looks like now. Not a ton of progress from the other night but we borrowed a saw from a friend and should be good to go on Sunday.





Have a great weekend and I will talk all about GM tomorrow night..SOOOO EXCITED!

WIP..House

We are going green! Dan got a great deal at work ( his home depot in clearwater is having a sale on flooring) We got 16 cases of bamboo to do the 2 guest bedrooms. We got home last night 8pm and decided to move all of the stuff out of the one bedroom and pull up all of the NASTY blue carpet and cut it and get rid of it. I am pretty sure no one would want our carpet even through freecycle...SUPER GROSS! I am so glad we are getting rid of it.

Bamboo Floor Nasty Blue Carpet

The craft room/office FULL of stuff.
Dan pulling up carpet, I was photo editor and carpet cutter.
no more icky carpet.....thank goodness.

Dan is taking me to George Michael this Saturday night for my b-day ( so excited!) I am hoping if we can borrow someones saw we can get it done on Sunday. Busy weekend.

Dan had gotten this for our bathroom ( we still need to put tile down here) and it was $150 originally and we got it for $25. I taped a piece of cool wrapping paper and viola! New cool cabinet.
