Update - Nothing to tell

I'm posting to say that I've got nothing to post. After a big October of posting galore November has been decidedly non-crafty. Boo.

Of course this is mainly because I have been spending most of my free time renovating my new apartment. Yay! And getting ready for the big CATS auditions. Double yay!

Last month I closed on a short sale of a really cute 2 bedroom apartment near the theater. It's awesome and I can't wait to live in Wailuku town - too bad Marc Aurels closed. Double boo.

The 2nd bedroom will not actually be a bedroom but a crafty sewing space for creativity 'n things.  So I'll be able to nicely separate my life from my hobbies, which is hard to do with all my sewing stuff in my living room.

The place is cute, but looks like it hasn't been renovated since it was built in the 70's. So we've been doing work to make it a nicer place to live.

First step: remove the popcorn ceiling. Popcorn ceiling is hideous and even if it does serve an acoustical purpose it's not worth the ugly.  So we got rid of it. It's relatively easy to scrape off if you wet it a bit with a sprayer first. It is rather messy though

Second step: fix the ceiling drywall. Because they were gonna put on the awful popcorn they didn't finish the drywall on the ceiling, so that had to be re-mudded and sanded in places. Awful dusty.

Third step: paint. This was actually the only step that I had a lot to do with. I was bad at the scraping and my dad was smart enough not to let me do the mudding and sanding.  But the painting I did a lot of and boy did it hurt.  But it certainly made a difference. I'll post pictures soon.

Next I'll move in. Woohoo!!
