Hi Friends
No worries I am still around. I have been extremely busy since last Thursday up until yesterday on Father's Day. So today I had to get out and water before everything gets to look down straight onto the ground that is usually not good. But it is all freshened up now, with the wonderful water power!
We have been finishing the wall WOW it was some job that wall. We also said: "We hope to never have to plaster a wall again anytime soon. We were new at plastering and BOY was it ever a thing to master. The consistency is the most important of all. It was too liquid the first time and the second time we saw that we needed thicker mixes so that's what we did and the coats were adhering well at last. Sanding was done twice just for the plastering alone and the wall was finally called DONE!
But the fun part was only to begin. YEP I mean it was just beginning. We were containing the dust (some of it) through the big shopvac for heavy duty work but we all know dust even with precautions it will seep its way into everything LOL and it does and did!
So all Saturday, we were both at it. Cleaning windows inside and out, waxing floors, dusting all over the house, vaccuming the whole house then washing the floors, I gave 3 coats of wax to the really damaged hardwood floor and it made it look about 5 years younger YEAH! We can finish it next Fall. But now I have to paint the room into some of the color I will pick my Duvet cover at the store. We went to see some beautiful model homes yesterday to find the colors that really appealed to us. We came back with two winners. Taupe and blue two very soothing colors but I need to find a bed skirt and top that we will both like. Not an easy task. We don't have much choice in the matter here unless you buy online.
Sooooooooooo, my friends, I still have some tasks ahead of me. But for today I am locking myself in my studio and I am making cards. It has been a busy week without cardmaking for me but plenty busy in other areas thank you very much. I will do my very best to post a card tomorrow. So come back later and I thank you for stopping by to look at what I am doing and making. Never boring here!
My favorite geranium of it all close up!
Have a lovely day everyone. It was a really nice Father's Day for hubby yesterday we were busy outside of the house. Seeing other things than fixing. See you tomorow!
