Happy Thanksgiving!

It's been  a busy week...trying to finish up several projects before heading to Virginia next week.  And today it rained all day...in fact it's still raining. Very unusual for us this time of year. But it's always good to have rain in the dry season.  You get spoiled though, and when you have a day without sunshine, you really notice it. But the good news is, the rain is preceding a cool front, so we'll finally cool down and be able to turn the AC off.

So what did I do this past week?  Well, I worked on stitching some appliqué  down, finished up Mother's quilt(except for sewing the binding on), did a little fabric coloring, worked on another quilt due by Feb. for a special project, and pulled fabrics for 2 new projects.The first are batiks.

And these are batiks, but the background is one of Vicki's hand dyed gradients.

We're also doing some kitchen reno...so we pulled down the old drop ceiling and old embedded florescent lights and the old ceiling fan; then installed the  new lighting.  I did my semi annual floor grout scrubbing; and prepped my kitchen cabinet doors for an new artistic treatment, and installed new cabinet pulls.  Also picked out all the new tile  and fixtures for the guest bath rehab.

Tomorrow we rest and enjoy a quiet Thanksgiving with the kitties.  And speaking of the kitties, here are pics I got of them yesterday.

And with that I'll say goodnight. I hope you all have a Happy and safe Thanksgiving!

  3. Kitchen reno - how wonderful. I sure hope that you take lots of before and after photos so you can stand back and see the transformation. Your rags are adorable.

  4. Kitchen and bath renovation? That's a big job. I need to replace the shower in our master bathroom but first I need to do a overall cleaning and decluttering.

  5. Oh, how many times have I seen that sequence! Licks, looks, walk away! :) Usually there's a swat in there too.
