House Goodies!

Today Richard and I had some errands to do. I sat in the truck most of the time and worked on these!!! Just figured I would do a tablerunner or something out of scraps. Just something to do while waiting on him.

I did get out at the Home Surplus store and look around! Found a FRENCH DOOR for my master bedroom for the house. Still need to stain it but it will go out on to a private deck from my bedroom. Got a great deal on it, solid wood and only $269!!! I was happy with that!Here are a few other house photos that I took while they carried the door inside. This is the flooring that will be in my laundry and all 3 bathrooms. Right now we just have them laying there still need grout between them but we made these from molds, concrete, and concrete coloring! You can find the molds on Ebay. I really like them, they are actually about 3/4 inch thick!

Here are my kitchen lights that we bought a while back! You know me.....found them on clearance!!!! This large light measures 36 inches, it will go over my island. Regular price...$148....Clearance price....$37!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep! $37!
This is the light that will go over my kitchen table. It matches the island light! Regular price...$88....Clearance price $22!! I was very happy to get these for the price! Got them at Lowe's.Oh and as I was walking back out of the house, I took a close-up of the front door! What do you think? Should I leave it this color???? I know it still needs another coat of paint, but does the color look okay?Very tired, had a long day! I should sleep well tonight! :) Richard has to pick Andrew up at school tonight around 9:30pm. They should be back from his trip by then. He has to get up early and head back to school in the morning. He has another FFA field trip during school tomorrow. I'm sure he will be tired this weekend.

Mom has another doctor's appointment in the morning. She will be seeing an orthopedic surgeon. I think I will go with her. Maybe between the two of us we can get there and back! I have a bad leg and she has a bad arm!!! Hehehehe!

Cute Little Pics

It has been a long couple of days, just really depressed and want to cry over everything! Anyone else get like that? Oh well....I guess life goes on.

Mom fell yesterday. She fell on her rock walkway and hurt her shoulder. She can't raise her arm up. Finally talked her in to going to the doctor today. They said they didn't see a break but thought the rotator cuff was torn. She goes back to a different doctor tomorrow and then I think they want to do a MRI or something. She was scheduled to go back to work on Friday but now it will be a few more days.

Andrew is gone again on a school trip!!! He left today after school for Hardinsburg, KY which is all the way across the state, I think about 6 hours away. It is the FFA Land Judging Competition. I think this is the state competition for it. He will be back late Thursday night and will head back out Friday for something else to do with FFA, but he will be back late Friday. I sure hate all of this traveling that he has been doing but he enjoys it and these school things are good for him.

Here is a couple photos of Hunter that I took last night. I had been working on binding for this quilt and left it on the couch. Hunter fell asleep petting Festus (Festus is a stray cat that came here and we let him in to eat and put him right back outside but Hunter sneaks him back in sometimes) And as you can see Jazz was jealous and had to get up there with them.

Hunter didn't like this photo when I showed it to him. He said "ewwww....his butt is on my head!" Hehehehehe.
Anyway, I did get that binding done late last night and started the binding on another one. Maybe in a few days I can get Richard to help me spread these quilts out and take some photos of them. This black one is a "trip around the world" The one that I am sewing the binding on right now is a "bow-tie" quilt. I still have several that needs binding.

Two Small Finishes!

Yesterday after I slept half the day away, we decided it was about time to go see our new Great Nephew. Richard's niece gave birth 3 weeks ago and I felt terrible that we had not made it over to see him before now. His name is Braxton and he is such a cute little thing. He slept most of the time that we were there.
While we were there Hunter was outside playing with their dog that looks so miserable!!! She should be giving birth any day now. Look how huge she is!!! She loved playing with that rope with Hunter! On the way home, I was pooped! So we went through the drive-thru at Long John Silvers, took it home and had supper!!! After that I went back to bed!

This morning, I was a little bored so I made two little mini's! This first one only measures 9 inches. Actually this started out to be a small wallhanging and I planned on making 4 of these basket blocks but that was about a year ago and it still sat unfinished. So this morning, I attached a small border on it, quilted it on my regular machine and did the binding. Start to finish....less than an hour!

Another mini! This one measures 11 inches! This was an orphan block, I added the border, machine quilted it and did the binding. Another finish in under an hour!

I know they are very simple and the blocks were already done before hand but even though they are small finishes, it felt good to do something.

Richard is at class now and should be home around 4pm, so I think at that time we are going to try to take a short walk! :( We had planned on doing it this morning but I thought it was just too cold. I have got to get my legs better, this is driving me crazy!!!
