Kitchen redo

I posted under Kitchen Redo. It's mostly pictures, hey that's what we all like, but if anyone wanted to know particulars of how we did something I'll happily share.

Before

After 

Maybe....

Just maybe we'll be blessed with a little rain. I can hear thunder. Crossing my fingers and toes.

Stuff I'm working on

Right now I've got two chairs and a table in the works being primed for painting and foofing up a little.

This one is a little rocker I picked up at the thrift store for cheap.

This one use to be in my Granny's kitchen. I've had it for 26 years, kicking around either in the house or garage and now and it's time to do something with it. For this one I've removed the seat and given it a good coat of primer. Painting and a seat are next just as soon as I figure out what color I want to use.

For some reason I don't have a picture of the little table. Maybe I can remember to snap one before I start painting it.

Have a wonderful week.

One down, two to go

Here's a quickie baby quilt I did for one of the girls I work with. Her colors are pink, black, and white.

This was a fast job since I received her invitation on Wednesday for a Saturday shower. LOL.

Summer Sunday

It's so stinkin' hot outside. Yick!

I've got fabric serged and ready to wash for one baby quilt and a bunch of burlap in the washer softening up for some other crafty projects.

For some reason this time of the year makes me want to stay inside and craft.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

It's been a while...

Almost two years to be exact.

I don’t think there are too many of my blogging buddies around anymore. Sue at Country Pleasures posts the most regularly I think.

Let’s see…two years is a long time to try and catch up on so I won’t. LOL.

Currently, we’re expecting a grandbaby in September and another in January. Little miss Kelsie is 3 now and is looking forward to sharing her January birthday with a baby brother or sister.

DH’s mother is doing okay. She’s 87 and still in the nursing home. She doesn’t walk anymore since falling several months back. Mostly she sits in her chair and sleeps. She seems happy and that’s the important thing.

I still work for the same place, but started a new position on April 2. I replaced a lady who retired and we managed to get three whole months of training in before she left. That’s almost unheard of anymore. I have a sweetheart of a boss and huge office far away from the snippy people. It’s a whole lot different than what I had the first two years of employment.

I haven’t been crafting or sewing or doing much of anything lately. I need to get busy working on baby quilts and I have a few things I’d like to do just because.

Well, I guess I need to hit the tub and get ready for work tomorrow.

Night all.

Here I am

Can you believe it's almost September? Time flies when you're working and having fun.

I like my job. There's been a very small learning curve and I think I've mastered it. I can't really talk about where I work, but let's just say it's interesting and I had forgotten what a pleasure it was to work with a bunch of women. The pleasure part, that's totally a joke. There's lots of gossip, dirty looks at various persons, and whispers behind the hand. I think we might need spankings and timeouts. Classes in how to treat the public are also needed.

It took a full week for the girl there the longest to get the pecking order worked out. She's not happy with the order, but she started it, not me. I'm an old fart and won't be walked on.

I haven't done any crafting lately. At most, I get home from work and do as little as possible before bedtime. I have been reading, but then again, I'm always reading.

Mom is doing well. At least that's what she tells me. I don't get to see her much, but do try to check on her everyday. She goes for her checkup next week.

I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to catch up on everybody very soon.
