WhaTchA WoRkIng On WeDneSdAy...

Hey there!! sorry for the late post..I had a doctors appt..and what a waste of time that was...but anyway..went grocery shopping today and now here I am...I wanted to post what I have been working on the past couple of days..I am making a calander of crows that hangs on a wooden board with clothes pins..I used my new mouse sander and I love that thing!!! I still have June-December to finish embroidering..haven't decided how I will finish these..maybe with a little quilt like square around each one to depict the months etc and back them onto muslin..I love how they are turning out too..not sure if I will keep it or sell it and make another for me...I also used my sander yesterday to sand my new/old wood bread box..I will paint it black tomorrow and sand it again..and I will put an old label on it and seal and put it on my counter..can't wait..well we got the bid back from the sink/counter guy..and holy moly!! do they want a lot of money.$620.75 just to put a new sink/countertop on my enomously small bathroom..so not going there ever...Mike figured out how to make it work..and it will only cost us about 100.00-150 to do..little better in my book..I would love to have my bathroom done..but gotta get the hubby off his butt to do it..
not much else to tell you..I cleaned out my closet and have 2 bags to go to the Goodwill and I cleaned out my bathroom cabinet..looks great..I love being clean and organized..we had a church function last night and they talked about organization..I am way ahead of the game on this one..but it was fun to get out and talk with the gals...I made the pinapple casserole and they liked it...but don't think it will be in my for keeps one...well it has started raining again so tonight I lit a fire..the first that we have had in over 4 days...I also bought us papa murphys pizza tonight..chicken artichoke thin crust..should be good...(cause I didn't have to cook) that is always a treat in my book..:) have a great evening everyone..:>)

  5. Hello dear friend!
    I am finally catching up on many things that have been neglected, and you happen to be on the top of my list!!
    I love those crows...your embroidery is beautifully prim...LOVE IT!
    That is outrageous for the price of a sink and counter!! Why do things have to be so expensive? But it must have gotten someone's imagination going to come up with a cheaper solution!

    Hope you are keep cozy by your fire.
    Have a great weekend!

  6. The towels are cute!

    Sounds like you have been busy :) I used to have a mouse sander but one day it just burnt up on me :( Jeremy bought it for me for my birthday about 7 years ago..no joke! I was thrilled to get it! Now I have a bigger palm sander that is actually better for me because it gets the job done quicker. The mouse isn't for bigger sanding projects, that's for sure! lol

    Have a great day :)

  7. Gina,
    Great crow calendar. My friend got those designs too...I think that she is doing a dish towel for each month.
    Did ya get the email that I sent you with the stuff you needed?
    Finely got my bobbins and I can go back to embroidering today. Kind of felt lost not being able to run my machine. LOL...
    Take care, my friend.

  11. Those are the handsomest crows I've ever seen!

    I hear you about the clean out. I gave the bathroom cabinet a going through this week and was surprised at how much needed chucking out!
