Back Like a Bad Habit

Well.

Here we are.

A quick summary: we moved, we settled, we have resumed the daily grind. New school, some new friends, a few new adventures. The kids are in Scouts and swimming lessons, with soccer starting in the spring. We have a new kitty, named Jack. He is poofy and fluffy, and super skittish with people, though he adores Pip, his BFF. Fran is happy that the boys chum around together and leave her alone.

I am plotting some painting, to change up the heinous orangey colour we currently have in our living room. And then it occurred to me that we don't have to live with the bandage colour on the kitchen cabinets...so there's another leeeetle project (there's only about a million doors and drawer fronts to remove and paint). Should keep us busy all spring/summer.

One of my favouritest things about this house is that I now have a huge, window-filled sewing room. It is teh awsum. My mind is in that room most of the time, even when my body cannot be. Right now I am working on a copy of my favourite blue jeans, a project I have been planning for about a year. Intimidation kept me from beginning for a long time, but now that I have dived in, I am really impressed at how well it's all going. I'm so excited to see how they turn out--and pumped to start the next pair!
