It's Been Awhile . . .

We have just been puttering around for the most part while we continue to wait for the electrician but we did manage to get a fabulous door up on the Studio.  This is what the old door was supposed to look like ~

It was made out of the same material as the siding and it was very flimsy.  Since I am going to have all my quilting goodies inside, we decided to make our own door.  So, we took a solid core door blank, the hinges that were supposed to be on the garage doors (see picture above) and a real door knob and deadlock and made this ~

Now we just need to get it trimmed and re-touch the paint!!  Oh, what a difference it makes to know everything inside is safe and sound!!  Thanks Kelly for getting the door knob and dead bolt on perfectly!!

A Beautiful Winter Day in Bandon!!

The sun was out ALL day long, the temperature got up to 60 degrees and we got a lot of work done today.  Kelly is continuing his crusade to get the grounds around the house all cleaned up ~

He got all the blackberry vines and whatever else was growing on the fence removed.

Got most the tall grass weed eated down.

Fixed the holes in the fence so Annie can't escape!!

And has a pile for burning tomorrow.

This is all the hidden crap that we pulled out of the back part of the yard before Kelly removed the tall grass!!  We will need to make another run to the dump next week!!

More stuff!!

And we have no idea what this is, but it is buried so deep in the ground that I could not get it fully removed today.  We'll need to go in with a shovel tomorrow.

Then this morning I went to my Guild's Christmas party and had a ball!!  I have just met the nicest people since moving here to Bandon!!

But after I got home from partying, I painted one and half of the walls on the Studio~

You can see where it is starting to dry and it is drying a bit darker than when I put it on.  I thought though this was going to be a bit darker but I think it will be cute for the smaller building and then paint the house the same green but one shade darker!!

Looking forward to another warm sunny day tomorrow - a bit more painting and a bit more yard work!!  Maybe get inside and get that quilt top sandwiched!!

Thanks for stopping by!!  I love it when someone tells me they are following our progress!!

It's Moving Day!!

Come on over and see what I have been up to today!!  HERE!!

Time to Start Moving Into the Studio!!

This is basically what I have been living with since I moved in last June!!

It has looked worse but as I have been trying to get ready to move into the Studio, I have been straightening and cleaning as much as possible!!

But now we are ready to start moving things into the Studio!!

The floor has been swept and the carpet has started it's roll-out!!  We are going to get my work tables out of the living room and set up today and tomorrow!!

Then, once Kelly gets the back wall sealed off at the sill plate - that has been a big problem that we have been trying to fix for a week now - we hope and pray that our water leaking problem will be fixed.  Kelly dried the area with a hair dryer and sealed it will a heavy caulk bead.

Tomorrow I may be able to start being a quilter again out in my own little Studio!!  Woo! Hoo!
