My latest project

I have been so busy lately with remodeling bathrooms, painting, dapping, that sort of thing that I haven't really had time to do what I love doing most. The past couple of days I have been doing these frames. They are 20 X 20 and have a 6 inch square cutout for a picture. I have made several for the girls and decided to make a few for me.

These three frames hang in Kelsi's room



These two don't have a home

Kim's Baby Shower

Saturday night , the girls and I hosted a baby shower for Kim. I have to say that I wasn't prepared for the huge turn outthere were 20+ guests. Kim made out like a bandit. The shower began at 5:00 and was over around 8:30 P.M. She has four more weekks until she is due.

Our latest project!

After much thought, we decided to redo our guest bathroom...you know, get rid of the tacky brass fixtures, revamp the counter tops, tile the tub and floor etc. We had several quotes from qualified professionals ranging from $8,000-$2,1000. We really didn't want to spend that much, and decided we could propably do the job for much less. Most of last month and part of January we did just that! I qam proud to say that we spent half of our lowest bid. I think it turned out great! We went with the higher counters.Below are some pictures of the finished project. (also a few before pictures).The only thing I will miss from before, will be the pattern on the walls.
