Wool Block and Reno's

I'm not sure why I'm still sane with everything that's happened with the kitchen renovation. You start one project and then it leads to more projects. Let me tell you where I'm going with this....3 years ago we completely renovated the main bathroom, I mean everything was done....walls, floor, plumbing, cabinets....the whole thing. The only piece in the bathroom that didn't get replaced was the toilet tank, the toilet bowl was replaced....so why didn't the tank get replaced??? We will never know...will we?....so have you guess it by now?? Yes...it happened....the tank broke, a big long crack going down one side, all I can say it's a good thing we were home to discover it. That bathroom is directly over the new kitchen floor....I'm just saying we were very lucky yesterday. 

Here is the first wool basket from Karen's BOM which I collected all last year. Now it's time to make these blocks for a very special project.

Have a good weekend, until next time.

Bathroom is almost DONE...yippee

BEFORE


Well it's been 3 1/2 loooong months of renovations to our main bathroom. The only other bathroom in the house is in the basement...long way to the toilet at 2am. Tomorrow the plumbing is to be completed. Here are some before and after pictures. The before pictures show a very out of date room. You can see in the after pictures there is NO faucets or toilet yet...but SOON. This is the first time I've been through renovations, I'm so looking forward to getting my house back and not having people coming in anytime. It's been a struggle for me to get any sewing done with all the dust, hammering, drilling and people coming in and out. My sewing room is right next to the bathroom and I wasn't comfortable sewing while they've been working. As you can see from the before and after picture it's quiet a BIG change. The whole room had been gutted including the walls, floor and the window was replace with a new one. I'm so happy with how it's turned out, I can hardly wait to start using it FINALLY.

AFTER

What a huge transformation. I wanted it to be "spa like". I think the room will be very relaxing to have long baths.




























I found is really cute book of stitchery and just HAD to have it. I'm very excited about trying some of the little designs. And boy was it ever a good price on Amazon, I think the regular price was $24. and I snagged it for $12.
