Let's try again....

Well since my computer decided to revolt on me before let's see if I can upload after pictures of Susan's room today.

Susan working on her room.





In this one Dan is putting in the base boards and you can see the color of the walls and the black stripe is a section painted with chalk board paint. It turned out really cool too. I may paint a section in my sewing room too.



Susan made her mark on her closet door.



Just a shot of what we've been living with lately. This is Susan's stuff in the living room. Now it's my sewing room stuff. Maybe tomorrow I will find time to post before and afters of that.



Well that is it for today.

Bye!

Remodeling madness

We are remodeling and I decided to go ahead and post Susan's room. Her room is finished minus the trim around the ceiling and the shelves that will be put up in a couple of days. You will see what we did in there though. Hereis a before picture from her room.



Yes, I am serious. Her room was ridiculous! She got rid of a ton of stuff and it went to the yard sale fundraiser for their Englad trip. We still have a ton of stuff they can have for their next one this summer.

Here are some pictures after the painting is done. The chalk board is painted on the wall and turned out really cool and in one photo Dan is places the baseboards on.

Well shoot. My computer went all funny on me and won't show any of my pictures so I guess I will have to leave you wondering for right now. I will say that I have started my sewing room and it is almost done. Just one more row of flooring and the closet and baseboards and then I can put every thing back in there, yeah! It should be done tomorrow and then I will take a break before starting our bedroom.

Spring has sprung here and we have been doing a lot of yard work. We have already mowed twice. My tulips are beautiful! I will be putting more in the ground this fall.

Well, I guess that is it for now. Hopefully pictures of the redone rooms next time.

Bye!

Blocks and play

Hi there. Not a ton of sewing or crafting going on here but I do have 2 wall hanging tops ready to be quilted. I've got one more to put together and then I plan on quilting them all at the same time. I did manage to get my quilting table cleared off enough to make some blocks for a friend who has lost a loved one recently. She's a red hatter to I used some fabric I had left from doing my grandmothers red hat quilt more than several years ago.





These are photos of a gift my mom made me for my birthday and I can't remember if I posted any on here so if I did, here they are again but I don't remember posting them.



Cute isn't it! I love it. I'm looking forward to getting my sewing room redone so I can display this on some new shelving I'm planning on putting in. See the little cherry on top....



That is a tiny yo yo. The clover extra small. There is so much that can be done with all sizes of yo yos. I'm still working on a bunch to make a yo yo dog.

Here is an updated photo of the little kitten that showed up not too long ago. If you've forgotten I posted about him on here. I can't believe how bug he has gotten so fast. He is as big as Miss Kitty who is almost 2 now.



This week end has been long! I spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday with my butt in a seat watching Susan's school play Sussecial the Musical. Here are a few photos of it.







This last one is a cast photo.



Yesterday(Sunday)was the last day of the play and was also Dan's birthday!



One of my favorites....



Ha,ha! I love you Dan! Happy Birthday!

Well, that is it for now. Maybe next time I will have a finish to show you.....maybe...

Bye!
