Distraction action

I'm still without my computer, because I have been to busy doing nothing to get it fixed. So there will be no picture. I had even gone so far as to start to take images of the fantastic Brussels sprouts I made for Thanksgiving, until I was distracted by the cutest squirrel I've ever seen sitting outside my window as a cooked the last Thanksgiving sides (I always bring sides - its the job I like best and the part of the meal I like best) in the little crappy kitchen. I'm not sure I'll know what to do when I have four working burners and an oven the heats to a temp other than 500.
I've been visiting the little house like it will get up and fly away if I don't pay it attention, the big news of the weekend is that there is now light! And progress has been made in replacing the furnace and adding a/c it really isn't so bad, though to make the 2nd floor my bedroom it is going to cost a little more than I'd like. To bad I live in Michigan and can't really get away with an unheated bedroom. Anyway I will be getting everything up in running shortly and then you can get ready for crazy before shots of the house and then you will all know that I am nuts to be taking on this project.

Winter warm up

Here I am the happy Aunt with my darling little niece: Evie, my computer has a little bug so I can't up load any new pictures so photos of this little lady are going to take over every post.

Anyway moving along. I have a few exciting little projects I'm working on some super secret Christmas projects along with some fun for myself projects once my computer has recovered from her little sickness I'll be happily posting pics.

I'm dreaming of a new winter coat. I tend to be hard on my coats, just ask my poor hooded black pea coat that went through a turnstile in the Roman underground, so I have a hard time spending real money on a coat. This little baby is from Old Navy it is cute enough and I think with a little vintage broach it can be total Libby style. Hummmm maybe I need to stop over to my local ON this week.

Baby Love

Today my new little niece was born, I even had a chance to slip up to visit for a few moments after work. I can't get over how sweet she was when I rocked her to sleep and she started to snore the cutest little snore!

Happy Little House

I am happy to announce that I am quickly on my way to complete home owner ship, should be closing on a sweet little house in a cute little neighborhood by Dec. 18th.
The house is (to me anyway) a real gem. Very little has been changed from its original 1940's build and I am over the moon with the prospect of making it exactly the home I'm looking for. Please stay tuned for many a Before and After, DIY, help how do you install a new sink-furnace-light-kitchen etc.
