Why I Love Living in Town

Reason #86:

Bathroom Renovation

We've begun renovating our bathroom. Today is the day we say goodbye to our vanity, toilet, and floor. Here is what we've done so far...

Here is the barfy bathroom before beginning.
(I already removed the baseboards.)

new medicine cabinet is 2x the size of our old

The vanity used to be there.
You can see the vinyl we lived with and
what was there originally.

Kidding, he's removing the water so
we can remove the toilet.

Spinning News...Part Deux

I finished plying my first round of yarn for a friend's project. I'm prepping to set the twist as I type. I just wanted to get pictures up so everyone could see the color. I won't feel bad if she doesn't like it as I LOVE how it turned out (would that mean I get to keep it then?). 243 yards of smooshy goodness!

There is more left to do. I'd say I'm at the 40-45% mark in terms of finished product.

Spinning News

I started spinning some roving for a friend. She wants to knit something out of handspun so she found roving that she liked, ordered it, & gave it to me. I found time to start on it yesterday. It's my largest project to date. Typically I spin up 4 oz batches. This will be an 8 oz project. I am 1/4 of the way through the first braid.

This is what I have so far. I apologize about the poor lighting on the last two, I'll get better pictures in a couple of days, PROMISE!

This Kind of Stuff Cracks Me Up!

I was looking at our vacation photos and ran across this series of photos. It just cracks me up! We were in the underground cave (not my comfort zone) and I was trying to get a picture of the little guy and hubz. Needless to say, I settled....

It all started innocently.
I said, "Whoops, I cut part of you off..."

Then, "Awh man, I can't see his face..."

To, "Will you stop talking already so we can get the picture.
You know I think you're too close to the railing!?"

Finishing with, "I know you look like a floating head, I'm done." (Note: At this point, my psyche was convinced one wrong step and I would tumble down the cliff. We were told 3 inflated airborne hot air balloons fit into this particular cavern. We were at the top.)

Out With the Old, In With the New

We noticed the little guy was looking like a circus clown on his bike and decided it was time to usher in a newer, bigger bike.

He decided to get enough money for a bike that he wanted, we could sell his power wheels and get rid of his smaller bicycle.

Yesterday, we sold both items to a very excited pair of 3 year olds. Today, we went shopping for a new bike and helmet. NOTE: It was brought to my attention that the foam in bicycle helmets degrades over time (approx. at the 3 yr mark) and it was time for our little guy to get a new helmet. That and there was a puncture hole in the top of his old one...

I present to you his new 20" Trek & matching Giro helmet. Be safe little guy.
