Amazingly different

It is amazing how everything looks more wonderful than before...I think I have always loved wood floors...It all started as a little girl, loving to hear each footstep as I walked to Bible Class on floors "that made sound."  In fact as I recall I would only buy shoes that you could hear (translation...heels!)    The care is easy and it is spot-free 

and ooh the sound!!!  Music to this little girl's ear.

out with the old...in with the new

Here is the first pic of the entry way....next the dining room....

Things are looking good!!

Well, it's beginning to look alot like...my home again with some great new features.  I am just about finished putting things back together.  Our new built-ins arrived today...Gorgeous!! Our floors are finished and the wood under my feet is great!!  Our counters are in..and beautiful!!  Friday begins the new bannister and iron spindles.  It seemed to be all consuming for about 3 1/2 weeks.  I did managed to be in the studio and finish a few things and start a few more...Isn't that the way it works?!!   Our backyard renovations begin the first week of March (if all goes according to plan.)  

He WON!!

Good news has gone to Great News.  Morgan has just won his first collegiate golf tournament.  He finished the 3rd round with a 74.  As proud of we are of the scores he shot and for the win, we are even prouder of the wonderful young man he is and continues to become.  It's exciting when good things happen to me, but it is more precious and meaningful when it happens to my children.  Way to go, Morgan!!

Good news!!

Just wanted to write a quick post in the midst of this remodel.  Pictures will come shortly...but Good News...Our son Morgan is playing in his first collegiate golf tournament in Laredo, Texas.  The coach took 5 for the team and 2 medalist.  Morgan, a medalist this time, is leading the tournament with a 2 shot lead .  He shot 4 under par with 8 birdies...Look out PGA tour.  He is coming.. 

My banner of love

While the tile guy and the plumber were busy doing their thing...I was busy doing mine.  Here are a few pictures of my Banner of Love.  I started this project on our snow day and then finished it today.  Various papers, trinkets, stamps, ink and of course lace and ribbon.  If anyone is familiar with old hymns.  The triangle with Love in black has the music to "Love lifted Me"...Indeed, Jesus' love lifts us to new heights...

Here are some before pictures and in the process of ...

Today is demolition day of old countertops and installing the new.. Tomorrow the tile guy and the plumber come.  If you asks what's for dinner...Reservations!!!  But I have managed to begin a beaded crochet cuff/bracelet that has been on my project wish list for a while.  We found out the floor comes Monday and the installation begins Wednesday.  So it is moving weekend for our house...we have so many little treasures...it should prove quite a full weekend!!!
