I'm back...

Did you miss me?

I went to my sister's last friday and we hung out for the day. she found a couple stuffed chairs at the goodwill for her family room. hopefully the dog won't eat these. they are too small for the great dane to fit in, so perhaps she will leave them alone.

Saturday we went to Hannibal, Missouri for a small local quilt show. there were about 200 quilts and a dozen vendors. only took us 2 hours to look at everything. while there, someone must have bumped the stand that was holding quilts. it fell over and took a couple more stands with it. we decided to leave about them....we didn't do it....honest. we did buy some very cool fabric from the Fern Hill vendor. and i got a couple packages of 2.5" Batik strips. i just couldn't resist them.

We found a great mexican restaurant to have lunch...it was yummy.

Sunday and monday we went to the beast and i tore out the downstairs bathroom. the former owners covered up the window with a fiberglass tub/shower combo and sis didn't want it. so i 'destructed' it. LOL   have you ever used a reciprocating saw?...woohoo!!!   what fun. that thing cuts through anything. after checking where the wires and pipes were i cut it into about a dozen pieces and got it out of there. and took out the medicine cabinet, the sink, paneling on the walls, and the ceiling that they dropped with the light fixture. lots of fun....took me 2 days.

Also took paneling out of a couple closets. i'm beginning to wonder if i'll ever be done removing paneling. there is still more out there.

My sis took the old tile stuff off the kitchen counter and destroyed the backsplash...that had ugly pretend bricks on it. it will get pretty new tile.

We have 3 piles going in the garage with stuff for the future dumpster.

Tuesday i delivered the wedding quilt to the happy couple and everyone who saw it seemed to like it. so now i have to start on the second wedding quilt. but it is a much simpler one.

This morning i put some bricks around my front flowerbed and mowed some grass. still have more bricks to do. then went over to the studio and worked on a current customer quilt. i am really not into it and have to make myself work on it. i managed 3 hours on it today. probably have 12 hours left to so. Siiigghhh!!

I had a small nap so now have to get up and go do something constructive. perhaps eat lasagna first.
