We are in the final stretch of wedding preparation — the last 2 months are gonna fly by. I have suddenly become an arts & crafts maven…I’ve spent so much time at the paper store and even bought an old-school paper cutter. I’ve tied many many bows and attached stickers to different things. I kinda like it…who knew? I had my first measurements for my dress this past weekend, another great experience. I highly recommend having a dress custom made, I know that the dress is going to be exactly what I want and fit me perfectly. We also went shopping for Shukie’s suit or tux…we may still be undecided, but he looked so handsome in everything he tried on. I just can’t wait to marry him!

We are in the process of selling the house I bought in Hudson MA 3 years ago…not very easy in the current market. It is a beautiful house, almost 100 years old, and I’m sure that someone will love it as much as I have. The house has one small-ish bathroom. When I moved in, it was a hideous purple with a black and white vinyl floor. I wanted to re-do the whole bathroom, new floor, walls, tub, vanity, but didn’t (when there is only 1, it is hard to deconstruct a bathroom while living there). So, I painted everything and put a new floor down. But, knowing that someday I’d gut it I made it bright and weird with a faux finish to mimic crumbling walls. Definitely not everyone’s taste. Shukie and I re-did the whole thing - carpentry, plumbing, contracting, painting, demolition. It was pretty cool. Now it looks awesome, and like the bathroom I had actually wanted when I redid it the first time. I just hope it helps with the sale! See the pics.
