Cranes and Cervical Effacement

It went a little like this:  

• Busted seal, cranes, replacement glass, doesn't fit, they try to make it fit, glass everywhere, 2nd replacement pane almost doesn't fit, I am praying I don't go into labor, it fits, it works, they leaves, no baby yet.

This is the building we own and currently live in.   There are five units (of which we occupy two).  I dream of the day when it is all rental income.  But in the meantime, it is mostly outflow.  Gotta love something built in 1878.  (Think new roof, widows, lead paint, old pipes and everything is uneven.)  Does this sound like work?  Is this really my hobby?  I think I need to re-define some things :)

Speaking of AMAZING house/building/project blogs.  Have you read THIS ONE?  Isn't she WONDERFUL? Her writing is hysterical and the project is fab.

Some People Nest. I Build.

When I was pregnant with Camilla I decided to build an 8 foot partition wall.  

This pregnancy I am building a house.   Well, starting, anyway. 

Am I nuts?  Quite possibly.  But I've become adjusted (mostly) to being that way.  So send me your favorite interior shots.  I am off to buy 20-something old doors.

Thing One and Thing Two

I feel like I cannot do anything today except talk about:

1. Craigslist and the absoulutly wonderful blog that I have been devouring.  Seriously, this woman is a brilliant writer and super funny, and since my building was build in 1890 I TOTALLY understand.  Oh, and did I mention that I have a call with the architect this AM who is designing our NEW HOUSE?  I guess I didn't, and come to think of it, did ya'll even know I am building a house?  (Yeah, while having a 2nd baby and running a few businesses.)
2. Self expression via clothing. Seriously.  I first learned about this via Madonna, my idol from age 3 to...oh...now. And now I am learning about it from my 2 year old.  Roll back everything I knew and dress from the basics of fabulousness.  See these again fashionistas and their amazing style HERE. 

So, that's what's on my mind today. I guess I'll go get dressed and and browse Craigslist now.  Please send any good finds or great outfits to me directly.  Or pin to Pinterest, I'll meet you there.
