Ok so last night got a little crazy. We bought a used dishwasher and my husband has been installing it for the past....oh 2 months and last night we were able to hook it up to the sink with all those connections. In his credit our sink pipes broke, and then our sink faucet broke and then the drain cracked. We ran into issues! Ran it, took forever, half way though cleaning it was an hour in so really....2 hours to wash dishes. Ate up so much water so very very loud and...yeah the dishes are disgusting and dirty.
Do not ever buy things like this used. They were replaced for a reason. I cried, lol. I wanted to have a dishwaser and that free time so badly. I never thought handwashing dishes would take so long, and I am so scared to leave any dishes in a sink thinking it will bring unwated bugs in for free food. Anyways, back to handwashing. At least that only takes an hour or so and I know they are clean! But now I have all yesterdays dishes and all todays. Plus the mess from repairing the sink.
So I am just now getting around to typing this up. You may wonder with all that work why am I here typing this up. I want to get this posted and then get to work. Its on my mind and I can work better without thinking...."after this I will blog, what will I say..what photos to add etc.etc."
Below are the challenges I am entering. I loved doing this layout, the colors were hard to work with at times but I am getting better at finding my style. I am somewhere between shabby and grunge. Actually I am fibbing, my style is "I wanna try that!" I just love to do all different things I guess.

Yikes, so sorry about the dishes thing. I find once I get started doing them by hand, it's not so bad. The hard part is getting started!
