I have been swamped at home the last two weeks and have neglected this blog terribly.  I started out with a small remodel project, we were going to add  sliding glass doors between our den and kitchen.  Then enlarge a small closet to become a kitchen pantry and put down new flooring (we had white carpet in the dining area and white tile with white grout in the kitchen).  This is what we ended up with last week.

One thing led to another and we ended up gutting most of our living area! 

Progress has been made, the drywall taper was here today.  When he is done I can paint.  Then the trim will go on and the floor will be put in. 

Oh, did I mention we added a fireplace?  Yeah,  I will be putting stone on the fireplace myself.  Can’t wait.  I found a rustic mantle today at a sawmill and I will be staining and varnishing that.  So anyway, I apologize for neglecting the blog.  I hope you understand?  Watch for more posts on the project, I would love input on paint colors and which InWeave fabric to use for curtains.

Easy project to sew with kids. 



Make these cute chicks using InWeave fabrics.  Denim chicks with bright flower accents?  How about a patterned crushed taffeta chick?  So many possibilities.
