Craft Room is Ready!!!

Well, I've spent all day working on getting the craft room ready. It is so nice to see it all neat and tidy. I just hooked up the sewing machine and gave it a little spin, oh my goodness, I had straight stitches with perfect tension! I am not sure how to act. I also finally framed all of my linens that I have been carrying around for years and if there was any doubt that I am an anglophile I think this will clear that up. David hooked up cable for my TV tonight which was very sweet but while he was in the attic he put his foot in the wrong place and now we have a nice hole in our bedroom. It is all taped up with pretty blue tape, but I got cable :) that's all that matters. I hope you all enjoy the pictures. I've got one paper to finish for school and then I am going to get busy with all my projects. If you notice all the red bins in my room those are all projects to be done still. So little time.

Project update

Here is a picture of the table. I am almost done with stripping it, it needs some nails and glue. I was going to repaint it but I kind of like the wood. I may just restain it. Also, here is the picture of the picture I bought at the thrift shop for $25. It is very pretty and the frame is really nice too. The wallpaper removal is going a little slower today, I ran into a problem area so I have not got as far as I wanted to. I will hopefully be done tomorrow.

Jeep Jam Pictures

Here are the pictures from Dave's weekend.

Projects

I almost have the table stripped. I have to go to Lowe's tomorrow and get a little more stripper and mineral spirits. I got quite a bit of the wallpaper stripping done but I need more stripper for that too. It is coming down fairly well, I will have to sand the walls and prime them before the paint goes up but all the work will be worth it! I put a before picture of the table too.

Front of House and Yard Pictures

Here is the front of the house, I wasn't sure if you had ever seen the front of the house before. Then just some closer shot of the backyard beyond the doggy fence and our parking lot of vehicles. Looks like the Beverly Hillbillies live here??

More Garage and Yard Photos

Here are a few more pictures of the garage and then some pictures of the yard to kind of give you an idea of the size of the lot. It is .64 acre and is on the corner. So, in one picture I am standing on the corner taking a picture of the front yard to the neighbors driveway. Then I am turned and taking a photo down to the fence of the neighbors back yard. There are only two houses on the side of the street. I also took a picture from our back patio area all the way out to the end of the yard to give you an idea how big it is.

Dave's Garage

Here are pictures of Dave's work in progress. He finally got all the floor up today and is starting to put shelves in at the far end. When you look from the large garage door that used to be just two car garage and the other half was all walled in for a "man cave" that is all the stuff that Dave has taken out so he can park his Jeep in there and work on it.
