thanks, blogging buds
Thank you so much, everybody, for humoring my shameless plea for comments! It really does make my day! [keep it up, please]
Remember the new house thing? It fell through. We were really going to do it. It would have meant a monster "bridge loan" so we could afford two houses for a few months, but before we could make an offer, the owner signed a contract. I was a little sad. Oh well- it wasn't meant to be. But now it has really given us incentive to get working on this house, just in case something like this comes up again. Cleaning out the basement of all the junk is priority number one, and this is going to help: www.kcfreecycle.org. Why haven't I ever used this before?!
I made a few of the Mailorder Club bonnets this weekend. So very cute, fast and easy. Photos to come soon.
Have a great Monday, nice blogging buddies!

I have been meaning to tell you...
If you and Brian are REALLY SERIOUS about wanting to flip another house, two doors down would be an excellent opportunity.
The guy that lived in there is in his 80s and the house was packed full of stuff. His nephew and some neighbors have been cleaning out the house. This weekend they found a baby grand piano in a bedroom and eighteen dozen eggs in the bathroom. Whoever does buy that house is probably going to have to rip it down to the studs due to all the mouse stuff (ewwww), but I bet it might go pretty cheap. I have no clue when the nephew is going to sell it, but it would be really easy to get you all in contact with them, if you're interested (and just think how easy it would be for J to go to our school!).
