We (well, actually my DH) decided it was time to get rid of our old carpet. This had to do with two things...the carpet is getting pretty ugly...it's light colored, and with 4 furbabies running around, plus 2 humans...well you get the idea...also, my sister and niece are coming to visit for a few day..tonight actually. My sister has never seen our house (she lives 3000 miles away) and DH loves to make a good impression! So...we had wood floors put in. I must say that I really do love them and I'm glad we did it...I just don't know about the timing!
Before:
and after:
I have also received some fun goodies in the mail over the past few weeks:
this adorable stitched block from Petra...this was for the block SAL with the Stitcher's Timeout group...the colors are so much brighter in person
this wonderful ornament stitched by Carol...
my Valentine's Day sock exchange from Rita....
and this adorable kitty pin cushion from Pauline....
Thanks again to all of you!So the last time I stitched was on Super Bowl Sunday...I didn't get much done because I was too busy watching the game and cheering on the Saints. But here is my small start on Tea with Jane Austen from The Sampler Girl.
And finally, my very late TUSAL update. Not much added this month...again! I think maybe I'll look for a new container to inspire me!
And finally finally...even thought I only have one sister...and we haven't seen each other in almost 2 years...here is the real reason they are making the trip...my little Thomas the Tank Engine fan..."toot toot"!
Thanks for visiting!
Such cute exchanges! Great pics!

I loved this blog... so newsy with lotsah pictures! Your floors are so pretty. Mine are so old, we get splinters when we walk on them. What a sweet little boy! We took Sam to see Thomas in concert last summer...fun, fun! Love the exchanges! Each of them are so great!
ReplyDeleteHardwood floors are the best and yours looks so great. It always gives such a warm feeling throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all the goodies you've received and have fun stitching on your Jane Austen piece.
I will soon be done with Three Things, it's just the last band and parts of the border that have to be stitched. Will post a picture soon.
We have the "want to get rid of the light carpet" syndrome too. And would love to do what you did. The wood floors look wonderful! So does all your goodies that came in the mail. Take care, I am sure that your stitching mojo will return soon!
ReplyDeleteThat stitched apple is nice! And the little prince is charming as usual. Nice floor too.
