Judy of apronstrings !!! Congratulations Judy! Could you please contact me at bnickilee@aol.com with your mailing address so that I may mail out your heart. I have decide not to post a picture of the inside goodies right now so that they will arrive to you as a surprise. I read that you are new to the world of Crazy Quilting so I hope you enjoy these pretties. Not sure if anyone has told you but... CQ is extremely addicting!
Looks like a busy week ahead for me and not much time for stitching. We've decided to get rid of the bathtub and make a huge shower. We've lived in this house for going on 13 years now and neither one of us has ever taken a bath... always a shower. The tile area is absolutely horrible - hate it! I think it must be the original tile from when the house was built in 1986. I've picked out some pretty beige, stone looking tile with an darker accent for a trim. Demolition will begin Tuesday morning and I'll start tiling Thursday with hopes that it'll all be done by next Sunday...anyone want to take bets? I bet ya'll didn't know I am a lover of tiling? Well before CQ I was addicted to mosacing - love it! I've done a few jobs but my favorite is my gorgeous turquoise bathroom counter top.
Just this past summer I spent 3 weeks down at the Devil's River in Texas. My bestfriend Bev finally built her dream home atop the cliff over looking the most gorgeous River. I always promised her when she was ready, I would be there to tile her ktichen. She picked out stainless steel tiles - talk about a Challenge! Took 4 days to complete but in the end it turned out fabulous and to the 1/4"! I don't even think I have to tell you how much fun we had being together...3 weeks was just not enough time.

| Hard to believe this wasn't here a year ago - it will now be my forever favorite place to visit. |

| Ahhhhhhh A well deserved float down the River |

| Bev, thrilled that the tiling is done! |

DeleteCongratulations to the winner! May she be the next CQ star!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your tiling! I know it will be awesome!
Thanks - I'm so excited and can't wait to get this project started - just wish Bev was going to be here to help me out as I know I'm going to need her to keep me laughing.
DeleteWe just ordered a shower unit to replace our tub area. We never take baths either and I have been wanting a revamp in there for a year or so. We are remodeling the kitchen too. They are both big jobs but I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteHope your renovations go smoothly. Will you show pics of your tiling?
ReplyDeleteSuz - already started tkaing pictures! Tub is gone and walls are done - let the party begin!
DeleteI was stunned when I saw I won your giveaway! How exciting! I shot you an email with my address shortly after reading I won.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this wonderful prize...I can hardly wait to start playing.
The stainless steel job looks great! And three weeks working along side a good friend sounds like a time to treasure. I hope your remodel job goes as smoothly.
