I am excited about siding.

Google says: No results found for “I am excited about siding”. This will change! Muahahahahahahaha!

So guess who stopped by to check on the new house this weekend? Yep, this fab little fam who’s moving from “the Hill” to “the Haven”. Oooh, I smell a category rename for this blog!

We were out in the West end to wish Karen T a happy 30th bday (ugh, we’re getting so old!!) so afterwards we also swung by our new neighbourhood to see how the construction was progressing…

And were happy to discover our siding was all up! And we have walls and ceilings (or is it just one ceiling?). We are also due to have bricks soon too! They are in a big pile *next* to our house, so hopefully they will be on the front of our house by the time we next go to have a peek.

I am unavailable for comment on how many hours I spent in bed in pain as a result of said trip to Barrhaven. So I will just say “ooh pretty siding!… enjoy the pics”.

awww, it’s the prettiest siding I’ve ever seen…

our right-hand neighbours have a nice colour too – kind of like cocoa vs. cream. our left-hand neighbours have the same as we do!! but will have a darker brick.

yay drywall! I’m thinking a banister is in order though – right now it looks a little dangerous! good thing the doors are locked up now anyways.

One thing has been frustrating me – I have all these sites for different parts of my design-y stuff. And in a way, I like having everything separated, but in a way, I would like to be able to have it all in one place. Like do I really need to have BlinkieMommies be its own thing? Or could I host the whole collection here at Krismom.com?

Just something I was thinking about… and then I saw this site and had an “I’m not woooooorthy” moment or two. Especially with the cute filigrees and everything – I love those.

One day if/when I’m any better at filigrees, I will post the file “my1stfiligree.gif” so you can LOL. Graphic design FAIL.

sorry, this week has just been one of those weeks that I can’t convince myself I might be cool enough.
