Well, I started to set up my studio a few days ago but I didn't get to do it. I started and disturbed a bunch of yellow jackets. I got stung three times - once in each thigh and once behind my right arm. I am allergic so I ended up spending two days in bed.
On Friday, I went garage sale shopping with Dave. We found a small couch and I talked the guy down from $40.00 to $16.00. It is smaller than a love seat but plenty big for two people to sit comfortably.
Today, I shampooed the rug that is on one side of my studio and arranged my new couch and the comfy chair that I already had in there. Now I have a really cozy sitting room on one side and the other side of my building is the work area for painting and doll restorations.
Tomorrow, I am going to make my outdoor room/garden in front of my building. I am planning a water feature but that will have to wait awhile.I'm tired now. I have to pace myself or I'll have a FMS flare up and set myself back by weeks!
Life is good!

Studio
I spent the day getting my studio back in shape to start painting and working on dolls again. I bought a small couch at a garage sale yesterday and I now have a little sitting room on one side of the studio and the work area on the other side. It is really nice.
I'm all tired out from all that work. I even shampooed the carpet that I put in the sitting area. All that work is worth it though .
Tomorrow, I'm going to spruce up the garden around my building. I am planning a water feature but that will have to wait until next week. I'm way too tired to do that right now.
I was going to do all this last week but I ran into a bit of a problem. I disturbed some yellow jackets and I was stung three times - once on each thigh and once behind my right arm. I am allergic to them and it was terribly painful for three days. That put me really far behind on my plan. Everything just had to stop while I recovered in bed. I know it is really a sad story,right?!

Hot Water Heater
Our hot water heater went out last week. It flooded the laundry room, kitchen, and downstairs bathroom. Thank God for tile floors! Then, a trip to Sears and a check for over 800.00. Finally a few days later, a guy comes to install it and charges an additional $575.00 above the Sears installation fee because it had to be brought up to code with double wall venting and an extension of two feet on the roof. Whoever heard of awater heater costing so much?
