Back to Normalcy

The grandkids have returned to their home downstate and our lives go back to our regularly scheduled programming. Needless to say, not much quilting was accomplished in the last four days. I did have customers in and out, but thats the extent of putting needle to thread since Thursday. We didn't even have the energy yesterday to do much more than the basic survival activities. 

Here's a few pics of what's going into the Dream Bigger piece I'll be working on over the next few days...

One of the petals

Love doing those feathers

We did manage to get some work done on the new studio addition. When the kids came to fetch the grandkids, we put one of them to work on the plumbing. The pex is now run out into the new crawl space ready for a sink attachment. 

All of us celebrated Saturday night with frozen yogurt for the first flooring layer (of three) is done! 

Ready for the next step

Jim will (hopefully) be working on building the wall sections this upcoming week after work. It seems like this is going so much slower, and as the leaves are beginning to really start changing colors, I'm getting worried about whether we are actually going to be dried in before snow comes. Our falls are so short and before we know it the cold weather has crept in on us, along with the cold rain and often times, snow.  

Our trusses should be ready this week sometime. Haven't heard exactly when, but since we are not nearly as prepared for them as we should be, I guess that point is moo(t). Not expecting anybody today since all the quilts have been picked up that were waiting for their forever homes.
