March 4-10

This week was the painters and the electricians...the ceiling wasn't white enough, so it had to be redone and the pantry painted...

much better...

and the electricians installed the can lights...glad we only went for 3 and 3, any more and we would look like a landing strip!

At the end of the week, I volunteered at the Dallas Quilt Show - took first shift each day selling tickets and then enjoyed looking at beautiful quilts the rest of the time.

Enjoyed watching the mini-quilt auction to raise money for charity (my three went for around $150)...there was even a bidding war for the one of the Scottish cat!

It was fun, and another nice break from construction in the house!

Of course, there is always something at the Quilt Show to see other than quilts...

Feb 25 - March 3

This was the week of the flooring in the kitchen...

On the 26th they put down half the floor...I skipped out to go to the DAFA meeting, so when I left it was like this:

And when I returned, it was like this:

The DAFA meeting was a great break - I got to be with friends...

Lu and Jules

Connie came up from Wimberly for a visit!

And I took a cool origami workshop - my result was a pretty little kimono!

about 8" long

On the 27th they worked on the floors some more...

so beautiful, pictures don't do them justice!

On the 1st, the floor guys came back and (mostly) finished up and the painters came to get started...

Painters continued working the rest of the week...
