I think I am caught up

I think I have finally caught back up with everyone's blog on Multiply.  I still need to go through those that aren't on here (Meari, Rene and Kelly come to mind first).

We have been getting our first taste of spring the last couple of weeks.  We have had daytime temps that have gone as high as the 70's but a few that have struggled to make it to the high 40's.  Today is poised to be beautiful.  Max is heading out to his hutch, laundry is on the line and the windows will open here shortly so the upstairs can get a good airing out. 

We still have the finish work to do on the shower.  This project, like most, is dragging out.  Here is how it looks so far.  It is nice to take a shower and not have to step in and out of that damned claw foot tub.  I don't know how many times I nearly fell and broke my neck.  I am not too crazy about the all clear glass as far as upkeep goes, but it is nice to not have the shower curtain anymore.

I have posted pics of Great Lakes Lowland framed. I am not sure I like the mat job I did and may be changing it.  That is one of the advantages of framing myself.  Its relatively easy and inexpensive to change.

My progress on Fleur de Lys is not much, but I am working with metallic right now and although, as I said before, I love the look, I hate the work.  I am not sure there is something ickier out there to work with, or not. I did enjoy doing the row witht he lazy daisy stitches.  I forgot how much I enjoy those.  They were one of the first stitches my Grandma Gladys taught me.  She tried satin stitch first, but I didn't get the concept of  coming up from the bottom and going back down,  I would keep trying to go up from the bottom, over and over.  I had such a mess stitched around the hoop.  I was all of about 5 or so.

I guess I should get back to it.  I have to get up there and clear out some bedroom before the kids get back home.  It is time to cull toys....Hope you are enjoying your day, where ever you may be.
