Things are Moving Right Along This Week

We are loving the beautiful, warm spring weather. It's perfect for going for a walk to the park.

And also great to get out of the house where it doesn't smell like tar.

But that's not for long as things are moving quite nicely . . .

Monday and Tuesday:

The wall tiles are going up

Wednesday:

The deco border

Thursday:

The shampoo boxes and benches

It's getting closer! Andrew is getting quite the workout going up and down our stairs fifty thousand times a day to cut the tile with the wet saw that is on the front lawn. Randy is meticulous from the way he tarps the entire flooring from the shower all the way to to the front porch, to the way the very last tile is cut and placed with precision. And he leaves each day with everything neat and clean, only to get it all out and start over again in the morning.

On Thursday my friend Amanda invited several lovely ladies over for a super sewing day to make splendid summer skirts. She had a cute pattern for a flattering A-Line and we all went to Joann's to pick out some fabulistic fabric and got together with machines whizzing. I really wish I thought to take a picture of us 8 girls and our cute creations. I'm amazed that I actually pulled it off and made this darling skirt, complete with lining and zipper! I bought more fabric to make another (couldn't decide on just one!) so we'll definitely have to get together again. It was so much fun to be with talented and wonderful friends while the kids played.

Mine is a light and airy white with pin tucks and lace criss-crossing the linen-like fabric. Next up is a bold black and white floral and after that I want to get even more adventurous by choosing fun and bright colors.

Perhaps something like this:

That would be bold and courageous for me! (right mom?)
