The Chick from Harry Potter will be Nude in her Next Movie.
I meant to post each week as I completed it but as usual what I mean to do gets lost in all the work and family stuff going on. Our son Michael will be seventeen on Sunday. I'm absolutely stunned that I have a son in high school. Our daughter Amber is getting married May 2 this year and she is getting married here at our house. So Scott, Michael and I have been working overtime on some home improvements we were going to do slowly over time. Since November 2014 we have completely renovated our master bathroom. It is gorgeous. It looks like something out of a spa. All new walk in shower with no doors or curtains. It is that big that you just walk into this room and turn on whichever shower head you want or both of them at the same time. Scott even built a stool in the shower so I have a place to shave my legs: Quite thoughtful. Because of the walls surrounding the shower he even installed a light in the shower. Then we had the floor tiled to match and finally Michael and I painted the bathroom, Mushroom cap. Fancy name for dark beige. LOL Then a few weeks later we took out our nasty 30 year old sinks and faucets in the lav and installed those lovely square, above counter, sinks and new Moen faucets. I love Moen: Lifetime warrantee. Then a few weeks later we had the floor in Michael's bathroom tiled. It looks so much better than that old linoleum. Then in the backyard we tore up the gas firepit. It hasn't worked since we bought the house five years ago and now we know why. They used the wrong pipe and it was so corroded the gas was not getting through. But since we haven't used it in five years and no one died we decided to cap the line and get rid of it. We took out all the sand stone and had new concrete laid. Finally, Michael and Scott build beautiful redwood benches this past weekend. They look amazing. This weekend the landscapers are coming to trim all the trees and plant some nice ground cover in the gardens so they should be full by the time the wedding comes around. All of this on top or Scott owning his own plumbing company and my job and we are beyond busy. But I have not fallen behind on my Project of Doom Quilt. Below are all seven completed blocks. Number eight's pattern was just released this morning and I should have no trouble completing it before next Wednesday when the next one is released. Sorry for the rambling.....
You're on fire woman. Week 4 and 7 are just SO COOL. Also enjoyed reading about your non-sewing/knitting projects, aka home renovations! Nothing like a wedding to light a fire under the butt of the home improvement to-do list. I'm concerned though that you're creating a space where people will never want to leave. Are you sure you want to do that?
But back to the quilt, I recognize some of those fabrics from our shopping trip in Boise! One of my favorite things about it though, are your choice of fabrics. The brick pattern feels extremely successful for this. Can't wait to see the entire project put together!
Looking really good.
