Day 7 and 8

Yesterday I managed to squeeze in a couple of customer items. It seems lately I am turning my machine on once a week. The rest of the week I am running errands (18 stores today to find leotards for Sissy ~ she starts ballet Monday!!!!!) or doing homework or cleaning up something or watching the kids play outside. The below bib was brought to me so I do not know where to find them (other than Embellish (local store) here in Montgomery). It matches the gown I monogrammed and posted not too long ago (may have posted on Facebook?). The font is MWP Sunny and I did the burp cloth ~ 4×6 ply cloth diaper from embroiderthis.com. One day I will compare these diapers to the Gerber ones you get at Walmart! I love these – they are thick and even (with straight edges). AC Tutu design and I dusted off my sewing machine once again to sew the ruffle ribbon on the bottom. I’m sure there is a real name for this trim/ribbon, but I have no idea what it is!? I have it in hot pink and turquoise too.

I also did this towel ~ AC Pirate Ship. The striped fabric is “Children at Play by Sarah Jane for Michael Miller”.

On to the kitchen… Yesterday nothing much happened ~ they brought our washer & dryer back in (HOORAY) so I was able to wash clothes again! I washed 2 loads Sunday at my SIL’s house and that has been it, so I have piles!

 Today the cabinets came in to the house. They are scattered everywhere and they will start installing tomorrow morning! When we started this we decided we’d do the kitchen, eating area and laundry room, plus Sissy’s bathroom and that would be it for now. Later we’d do the guest bath downstairs and our bathroom and maybe the 2 baths upstairs. Today our contractor came by to take out Mallory’s cabinet (while we weren’t at home), only he accidentally took out the guest bath cabinets instead. Uhhh can we say OOPS! Jeff & I thought it was hilarious and were quite surprised to find no cabinet in the guest bath, and now we’re ordering a new cabinet for that ASAP.

Imagine walking in to see this when you didn’t expect it! I guess if this is our only major snafu then we’re OK! Mallory’s cabinets will be white!

Here are several pieces of the island which will be a new feature to the kitchen. Our old kitchen did not have an island and we’re doing it in a darker stain.

And the rest of the cabinets are scattered across the kitchen and eating area! I was excited about this one…

We’re in the process of picking out our knobs and pulls, but here are some of the cabinets! These are taupe with mocha glaze.

I can’t wait to see what all they do tomorrow! It’s all coming together! Still lots to do – countertops, backsplash, painting, lighting, etc.

I am exhausted and going to bed ~ for a short week it has been a long (busy) week! Have a great weekend and I’ll be sure to post pics of Day 9 (tomorrow ~ Friday)!

We managed to do a design this week and we are working on more as I type! Here is our Christmas Wagon, which I will try to sample tomorrow! Have a great weekend ~ dare I say War Eagle!!
