2 whole posts for the month

Wow.  2 whole posts.  That's it.  Tells you how much sewing I've done during the month.  Zero.  Sad.  Just no time.  But exciting things have been happening over here.  The kitchen  is really coming along.  I'll show you where we were about a week ago.  Granite templating happened last Friday and our install date is scheduled for August 3rd.  I'll show you "prettier" pictures then.

Lighting is up.  Hardware is being put on the cabinets slowly.  We got a lot of door knobs and drawer pulls to put on.  Most of my old kitchen has been moved out and things are in their homes in the new kitchen.  Stove has been moved over.  Things are still in disarray over here.  But slowly, life is getting back to normal.  Next on the list is the demo of our old kitchen.  Cabinets need to be removed and the sheet rock needs to be pulled off and new put up in its place.  The ceiling in the old kitchen and hallway needs to be scraped.  We have a smooth ceiling in the new kitchen and popcorn texture in the old.  Since it will be one continuous space, ceilings need to match.  Then priming and painting.  Not sure of what color I'm going to use in our dining area.  Maybe a medium shade of gray.  We'll see.

So.  That's what's been happening here.  No sewing but lots of kitchen focus.  I need to get back to sewing though.  I have 3 more pencil cases to make for party favors.  Amelia's birthday is in 30 days.  Which means in 30 days, I get to spill the beans for our big secret!!  56 more days until Disney!!

I'll be back soon!  I promise.  :)
Enjoy your day!
