Quite a wake up call we had this morning. I heard it start to rain when I first woke up.... and it just kept getting harder and harder.
Then the hail. Just small nuggets.... but they sure tried to sound like they were big boys.
And the rain came down heavier and heavier.
At one point I couldn't see across the street.
The wind was blowing and it was dumping big time. And it was dark!
I tried to get a couple of pics to show how hard it was raining.... but the blowing rain put drops all over my lens.
So these were taken after it had subsided quite a lot.
The storm left behind a calm, cool, sun-shining, great smelling morning to enjoy.


Nothing like a bit of excitement to start my day.



Yesterday I finished putting the sashing strips on the rest of the blocks for Trents quilt. It turned out really cute and even tho the sashing took much much longer to do than just regular sashing, I'm sure glad I decided to do it this way.
Today the border goes on and I'll be mitering the corners. I have a new gadget so I'll show you later how it works.

DONE!!

Well almost. I have a few small To-Do's left in each room, but I can joyfully say that the three room make-over is finished.
Monday we're going to Kearney to meet Donna & Dick for lunch (am I excited? YES!!) and while we're there I plan to look for material to make curtains. I'm hoping I can also find something special to add to one of the walls for that final touch.
It feels soooo good to have 'New Rooms' again. And I so appreciate the girls being able to come over to do this for me.

As far as quilting goes. I have managed to get a couple of rows sewn together on Trent's quilt. It's coming along nicely. I'm sashing it just a bit different and I like the way it is turning out. Although it sure takes a lot longer.
But hey.... for Trent it's worth every minute.
Don't you agree?

And so another week begins......
My bedroom painting is complete and everything moved back in and I'm sleeping comfy.
Two shades of green and the trim is painted white.
It looks and feels cool and refreshing.
Now I just have to decide what I want to put on the walls..... if anything.
I'm kinda liking it just simple and non-cluttered.

The bathroom is almost finished.
I just have one small project to do in there and it will be done. It's lookin' good!
Picture to follow after I get the project finished.

That only leaves the kitchen to do. All the paper has been stripped and the walls washed (this was the hardest room of all)
And then it was put on hold when Kay died.
This week the girls will be back and they should be able to get it finished.
I am so ready now to be done and re-organized in there.
I'm really ready to get back to my quilting.

Speaking of quilting..... here's a pic of the very beginning of Trenton's quilt. Much more to come later.
Stay tuned.
