FINALLY THE BATHROOM IS FINISHED!!
The tear out started the end of February and five months later......a new bathroom.  How do those TV shows do a new bathroom in a week?!  What a boost to have this major project finished.  Especially since they are starting the new bedroom addition this week.  Here are the pictures but it was hard to get good photos because of the small area and all those walls.  I need a fish eye lens for my camera.

If you walk in from the hall there is a powder room part of the bath with a sink and toilet and then you walk into the main bath with the shower and sink area. 

 This a picture of the shower and sink area.

This is the powder room part.  Both rooms have old mirrors

 that we used to have in the Maryland house. 

This is the floor that Mike put in.  He also tiled the shower stall and bench,

 painted, wall papered, and and built the radiator cover.  What a man!!

I was the go-for. 

The doors are original to the house so you have to have a key to lock the door.

I use it too.  One of the workmen almost walked in on me when I hadn't locked it. 

 Now I remember!!

Busy Summer

    Summer seems to pass so quickly.  Mike and I have travelled to Seattle to see Kyle.  Worked constantly on the house.  Unfortunately in June we travelled to Colorado for the illness and funeral of Mike's father, Julius Ray Taylor.  Papa we miss you terribly!!
   This past Sunday we attended the beautiful wedding of Josh Byrne and his bride Amanda. 
   We have no central air conditioning in the house so except for a couple of window units, Mike and I have been trying to stay out of the heat.  So we have been working on several indoor projects.

This is an apron I made for my mother-in-law's birthday.

She picked out the fabric.  It is so cute.

It has a fabric flower and button the shoulder strap.

A ruffle in contrasting fabric at the bottom of the apron.

I had so much fun making it, I decided to start on a tote pattern that I have had forever.

I was pleased how it came out.  I used several of the new quilting skills that I have learned recently.

These are some of the fabrics I used.

It took me several days but it was really fun.

IN MEMORY

This is a picture of my wonderful father-in-law, Julius Taylor.

We were so fortunate to have been able to spend two weeks with him in Seatlle a week before his death.  He was a  compassionate man who taught a bible class in the local prison, he had four children, nine grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.  He was greatly loved and he greatly loved each one of us.  God called him home and we wait to be reunited with him.
