Now this is a novel concept. Not sure if it would work for me so much, but interesting idea. There have just been too many men in my house this week. The place is teaming with testosterone. The men are very nice, but they are just so, so, masculine. They joke around, laugh loudly, bang […]
At least my flying geese units for Big Madeline are finished. Next step will be to construct the 25 Sawtooth Star blocks I need for the top. My plan is to work on those when the hardwood floor men are here this week. That is going to be a great quilt! Sophie is still in the […]
The tile men came to re-do the master bath floors. They put down new concrete to even things out and left for lunch. Sophie got away from me and before I could catch her, she ran through all the wet concrete. She ruined their beautiful smooth work. Why do I have dogs? Does anyone […]
Here is my poor living room, almost empty. We are preparing to have the floors redone and had to move all the furniture out. My gosh, that room is as big as a barn without any furniture. So where's the furniture? Why stacked up in the garage, naturally. See those boxes in the foreground? They […]
Hey, Sandy from The Textile House, also known as Strlady! You won those honey buns! Congratulations. Thanks to all of you for your comments during my Giveaway, I appreciate you so much. I will be having my best Giveaways yet once my house sells, so stay tuned for the next one–hopefully in the next month […]
The picture is darkish, but doesn't the table took pretty with the late afternoon sun shining through those yellow glasses? It was a puttery sort of weekend, and tasks of many sorts were accomplished. I got my kitchen put back together after the cabinet refinishing. Who was it who recommended that I place the contents […]
While the cabinets were being refinished, I holed up in my sewing room. Two great things happened. One, I finished a stunt sewing quilt top that I have been dragging out. Big sigh of happiness. Such adorable fabric, and when you see how cute this quilt is, you will want to make one too! But, […]
The trucks are just driving up. They get an early start, these cabinet refinishers. Here they come, smiling men wearing painting clothes and smelling like tooth paste. I am barely out of my jammies and smell like coffee. Oh, and did I tell you that due to the stress of resigning from my job, I […]
First off, I want to say that neither of the sinks pictured in this post belong to me. I got them off the internet to make a point. Have you all ever heard of The Fly Lady? Years ago, I happened upon her website, which at the time, was a homey kitschy sort of thing. […]
How funny is this? That big old trailer is full of trimmings from our yard! You would not believe the activity those energetic gardeners generated. All except for one. See the gentleman in the hat at the far left of the photo? He is the ancient father of one of the gardeners. I showed him […]
