we’re nursing the sniffles here today….
the little guy has had a cough that will just not be kicked….
and since he sleeps about two inches from his mama’s face,
you know who got it next.
yep. me.
i’m hoping that a whole lot of water, tea and emergenc will get rid of it.
that and hitting the hay as soon as it’s dark tonight….
the house bits are falling together and we’re waiting on one last piece of paperwork for the closing
fingers crossed everything gets done in time for monday
monday!?!
oh my.
mostly though, i just wanted to show you some quilt pieces i’ve been working on…. (for the big girl)
and my sweater….
it’s soooo close, seems to be a theme with life this week
so close…..
i’ll be back on friday with some really exciting news…. and something to share with you.
xo,

ps ~ seems to be some odd ongoings with the photos…. some of you can see them and some not…. hopefully it’s a flickr glitch and you can see them later, thanks for letting me know! so sorry…. but if you go over to flickr you should be able to view them!

Sadly your photos are not visible! But I bet your sweater and quilt are beautiful.
I hope you and your little one feel better soon. Have you ever used a Neti Pot? I use mine a few times a week, especially during cold and flu season. Since it takes 2-3 days for a virus to manifest itself once you are exposed, if you flush it out of your nasal passages before it has a chance to kick in, you most likely won’t get sick. I have been around a lot of sickness this year but haven’t gotten sick yet.
So exciting about your house!! It seems like you just got settled into your temporary apartment, and now it’s nearly time to move on. Yay!!

Oh, the suspense…your photos didn’t load! Will check back to see your work, though. What a busy month you’ve had! You’ll need a month of rest once you’re finally settled in! I love that feeling of new beginnings when you move house, placing things deliberately and vowing to avoid clutter…haha!

How strange? They loaded for me….. I tried redoing them, hopefully they’ll work now! I have used a netipot…. amazing for allergies! I haven’t thought of using it regularly, such a good idea! We are so excited to be heading to the new house….. the last few months have been so very busy. I’m looking forward to taking our time as we get settled in…
