I finished my quilt!!


 I can't believe it......after over 2 years I finally finished hand quilting my quilt.
These aren't the best pictures because of the light, but it is beautiful and it's more beautiful because it's actually done!
 A big thank-you goes out to my mom, sister and grandma who all added a few stitches to this quilt.
And to my husband my biggest encourager and cheer leader.
I made this quilt without a plan and I don't really have a plan for it now...but it is lovely and done.
 The cloth is either leftover from other projects or bits and pieces of cloth I had or Grandma gave me.

 HeHe...Pardon me while I do my finished project dance.

Yippee!!!
What should I start next???

short apartment tour

Since I showed you the outside I thought I'd give you a little peak inside.

The red kitchen was red when we moved in , but my darling added the wonderful shelves and hooks for coffee cups which helps with a bit of storage and counter space this little kitchen lacks.
 A small kitchen is actually quite efficient because everything is right at your fingertips! one sunday I believe we fit 5 people in it.(not terribly comfortably:)
 This was in summer also .... note the fan.
The chairs we picked up along with three bolts of upholstery fabric and an air conditioner at a garage sale on our honeymoon (we were meant for each other both my hubby and I like a good deal) for $15 and I recovered the seats with some of the fabric. Can't say I would want to Reupholster for a living but it was very rewarding and I think they look great!
I love that we have a piano (heaven know how they got it up the stairs)
And that's the front room and the kitchen...just to give you a taste.
