Kay Jones stitched the lovely model, and I really want to thank her for doing such a wonderful job–and so quickly, too!
If there was ever an organization I’d be more than willing to donate my time to if I didn’t have small children, it’d be this one. (It wouldn’t be the first time I’d gotten a job, paying or not, for the express purpose of learning some skill I wanted to learn.)

We moved into this house and the owner had left the paint and labeled it as to which room it belonged to, which was really nice, but it was 14-1/2 years old. There’s the ceramic tile they left, which I am not going to use; HfH says they don’t want outdated tile, but it’s so old it’s come back IN style now. There’re carpet remnants, too, of which I am not thrilled. (And even if I were, I daren’t do anything more than shampoo the carpets before my small wrecking crew has gone–preferably far away–to college.) And that’s not even to mention the vanity and shower door I pulled out of the bathroom.
