More Fun Than A Barrel Of Monkeys

The renovation continues on the house. We are making some progress. Sheet rock is going up in the addition, rock is going up on the upstairs hearth, and we've gotten the mantel sanded down and in place. I finished fauxing the guest bedroom this morning. As far as I'm concerned, the "fun" part is about to begin. Everything should start coming together. Once the walls are textured I'll have a bunch of painting and then we can start laying flooring. Then the cabinets can be installed, counter tops put into place, appliances moved in, and then one day we will move in. Our little project has become our life and consumed our days. We spend about every waking minute there, so it will be nice to officially move.

In the mean time, I've managed to complete a different kind of project. I made Hudson a sock monkey and he loves it. The monkey's name is George of course, and he likes to carry him around. It's kind of like a doll, but masculine enough to be cool. Now I've just got to find a minute to embroider some banners to tie around our Easter buckets. Stay tuned.
