Lots of Things Going On!


After my happy Saturday with friends and family, we settled down a bit on Sunday. Billy wanted to finish up the craft room :) and he pretty much did! With the exception of painting the counter above the shelves and some wall shelves for me, he did everything I wanted because I want to do it as I go along and not rush to finish it. I have to slide in the shelves for the cabinet. Just didn't get a chance yet. Oh, and of course the curtains won't be nailed to the wall either :)


He put a great piece of granite for my workbench that he had in our shed. The room looks small in pictures but it's perfect for me!


 There was another piece of granite for a shelf. See below. He wants to add more shelves but I'm planning it out! I have a picture in my mind of what I want it to be like.


The top of the cabinet has to be stained or painted and a few other little things done and I'm all set! Then I can have fun decorating it.

While he was working upstairs, I had a craving for stuffed mushrooms so I made a batch...this is them before I baked them. The smell of garlic, cheese and parsley filled the house! Yummy.


Caitlin got a haunted house joke book from the library and read me every one.

There sure were some cute ones. I was thinking of printing some for her Halloween sleepover. Everyone has rsvp'd now and we have ten attending for the party and four of them staying for the sleepover. And speaking of sleepovers, I also have my Girl Scout camping trip coming up! Oy Vay! I've got lists galore over here!

 Have I mentioned that Caitlin learned to crochet? My goodness she is crocheting up a storm! She took to it so easily! I just have to keep Jinxie away from her yarn cause he runs with the end and pulls out all her hard work :( silly kitty.  Good thing Caitlin loves him so much.

Talk to you soon!
