Snowed in......

I am trying to play catch up again but I have a very good reason.  I mentioned to Popster last weekend that we needed to think about getting our projects done before it's time for me to go back to work.  One of these "projects" is to get all our hardwood floors refinished.  We only have hardwood in the upstairs rooms so it involves 3 rooms.  Also we had replaced all the woodwork & doors going into the bedrooms but never did the woodwork or doors in the room themselves. 

We got the name of someone local who very good at refinishing floors & Popster called him Monday morning.  He said he would come right over to take a look.  He gave us a price on doing my office first & then the other two rooms together.

 I said okay when?  His answer was as soon as you can get the room clear. 

Big gulp & silence! 

Apparently winter is a slow time for him.  Needless to say & I was busy the rest of the week.  Have you ever emptied your entire closet?  It's not fun....especially when your hubby helps & doesn't stopped commenting about how many pairs of shoes you own(thank god he didn't realize the two huge bins he carried downstairs were also shoes!).  He also didn't stop commenting about all the clothes I own.  Poor man is in for a real surprise when we tackle the other two closets.
We got the room cleaned out on Weds when we were completely snowed in.
Probably had around 15 inches by the time it stopped early Thurs morning.


It was really pretty & not heavy snow so wasn't bad to shovel.





Spent most of the day on Thurs cleaning up snow.
Then Friday we were off to the store to buy paint & wood to get the room done by Monday.  I spent most of Sat painting everything & Popster did all the woodwork yesterday.  It will need to be wood puttied & painted but that will have to wait until the floor is finished.

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...

Today we have a riddle???

 What do you get when you cross a pile of scraps, a sewing machine, a woman possessed, & a husband on a week long golf trip?  The following.........  This is a tablecloth for my kitchen table....forgot to take the finished pic  Cover for my sewing machine...very proud of this as I quilted the whole thing.  This is the back....got tired of doing squares!  Matching cover for my serger.  I meant to post these a while ago & must have forgot.  I have done a couple other projects since then which I will get around to posting soon.  Had computer problems so I have some catching up to do Love
