Housework, Quilt Festival and Etsy Sale!

I am SOOOOOO tired (gosh this is a reocurring theme on my blog isnt it?!?) I took the last few days to do something that I actually LOVE...housework!!  After months of building up to quitting my job, then preparing for everything this last month, I have not been able to contribute much to our household in terms of chores so I have been catching up on things like cleaning out my closet, working on the patio garden, repainting our white wood floors (of course I have painted floors what did you expect?), cleaning my studio, doing laundry, cooking and running errands.  Last night my hubby told me that he really likes having a housewife! HA me as a housewife...I think not!  But I feel good- there is just something about cleaning and getting organized that makes me feel like I can reset and start fresh for the next couple months of insanity! I have so much to do and am trying to better organize my new life :)

In not so boring housewife news I am also getting ready to head to the International Quilt Festival in Long Beach next week So if you are heading to the show or are looking for something SUPER fun to do, come visit me at the Quilting Arts Booth all four days to take a mini workshops or stop by Open Studios and chat with me...I love to chat!!
