End of the World Day?!

I’m off to the post office and then off to Lowes ---DH is off work from now until after New Years, and Mr Fix it has plans to replace the dining room blinds!

They used to be just those cheap metal ones---we want to replace them with the plantation type blinds that are in the front room so they will match.

These are all the orders from my Etsy Book & Pattern clearance sale from the other day!  There are still a few cute patterns and stuff left HERE.

Off they go ---with it being this close to Christmas, I’m not sure they will get to their destinations BEFORE Christmas, but they are on their way.

And since I am posting this message…how about THIS funny:

64

Thanks to Diana for sending this to my email!

Anyone bringing fabric to my house better hurry up -- there is less than 12 hours left of December 20th!

Who knows what other kind of trouble we can get ourselves up to at Lowes??  There is talk of redoing the kitchen vinyl flooring ----but if we do that, I want to replace the bathroom floorings too…and then that project goes right into another one!

I really want to shop quickly, and come home and quilt!

Enjoy your afternoon, everyone!  See you at 9pm Eastern tonight for Quilt-Cam!

  5. Yep, home improvement projects so often lead to scope creep, as we call it in the Project Management biz.

    A friend recently decided to replace the knobs on her kitchen cabinets. That led to painting the entire kitchen (including cabinets) and refinishing the wood floor!

  8. Yep, you've got the reno daisy chain effect going. One thing leads to another, leads to another. And in my case leads to the whole house being a work in progress. Anyday now we will finish something..really anyday.

  15. We have been maintaining job security for our Lowes the last couple of months. Our fridge started acting up and the new fridge turned into a kitchen remodel, everything new except the cabinets which are still in great shape. We have been doing the tear down and contractors will come in after the first of the year to do new cabinet tops and a new floor. Goodbye kitchen carpet, hello ceramic tile! It will be nice when it is done but with all the chaos, I did not even get the Christmas decorations out this year. We have bathrooms that need redone and we have some other future ideas, too. Have fun at your Lowes!

  17. If I didnt have to do an early shift tomorrow I would get up for quiltcam, but I dont think the patients would appreciate a sleepy scrub nurse. I am so going to be sewing on saturday though. I have not even started last fridays clue for easy street. Good luck at lowes Bonnie..

  18. Could have used a treadle machine today. High winds and dropping temps from the storm sweeping out of Colorado and across the Midwest. Thankfully here in St. Louis we are far enough south to avoid the major snow and ice. However, the high winds today knocked out our power for most of the day. Couldn't read in the gloom, no sewing or ironing, no cookie baking - so, I cut out and kitted up blocks for quiltcam, then took a long winter's nap as the house (and my hands) were getting really cold with no heat.
