Insanity...Bring It On...

Hi folks...I'm cutting right to the chase instead of my usual faffing around...there's no easy way to say this but right this minute I'm teetering right on the edge of insanity...in fact my pen is poised on the dotted line...ready to commit myself to the nearest asylum all because of the bathroom make-over. But I only have myself to blame...what possessed me to appoint hubby as Project Manager...he's a man after all...think no multi-tasking...no forward planning...rush in where angels fear to tread and you'll get the picture.
The wallboards are up...we have a working toilet...sink and bath but what use is a shower cubicle without a door...apparently it's still a scribble on a scrap of paper along with the heated towel rail...lighting and flooring.  And it's my fault...after pondering over catalogues night after night and choosing said items...I didn't actually say ORDER THEM...so he didn't.
And just to add a bit of spice to the mix...the kitchen is scheduled for a make-over starting next Monday but for the Momma of all DIY jobs I've employed the skills of a super duper Project Manager...yes MOI...we all know what DIY stands for...so the motto here is if you want a job done...DO IT YOURSELF...the plasterer is booked but I'm still waiting to hear back from the joiner...the doors...new framing... skirting boards...flooring and tiles need to be ordered and I've got a reputation to maintain so better get busy with the steamer...the old wallpaper and tiles need to come off before magic things can happen. No prizes for guessing that the blog posting may be a bit erratic for the foreseeable future...who knows I may be on every day telling you how well things are coming along or worst case scenario...sitting in a corner of the cubbyhole sucking my thumb and waiting for the men in white coats to arrive.
I did manage to make some cards with the gorgeous new Bubble Bloom stamps from Craftwork Cards before the DIY bedlam arrived to turn the cubbyhole crew into screaming banshees and will be sharing later in the week...in the meantime some little sneaky peeks.
