Final Tally

When I got back from New York I decided to make a lanyard holder for all my festival access badges.  They were often my only souvenir from a trip.  Some festivals I really enjoyed, others presented more challenges; they are all part of my LPA experience.


These lanyards represent:
  • 14 years
  • 3 countries
  • 15 states (US)
  •  24 cities
  • 29 festivals

Kitchen baseboards


Since I couldn't install the kitchen floor until after the cabinets were installed, the installers left me the shoe-horn molding to wrap around the cabinet bases.  After I finished the bedroom and hallway baseboards I was determined to complete all the molding before I left for NYC.  It was quite a bit easier than the bedrooms and it really gives the kitchen a finished look.

And, just because I had the day off, I installed the transition pieces that came with the flooring.




This also cleans up the bedrooms and gives a finished look. 

Now, on to painting the new door jams.

Our Baby: 3rd trimester

This week Sandi began the 3rd trimester.  Our little girl is a little squirm-er and she seems to like all the same foods as Sandi.  Whenever Sandi informs me that the baby wants something, who am I to argue (probably a sign of things to come).  We can't wait to meet her.

Happy 7th Amber!

Happy Birthday Amber The day finally arrived - we've been talking about it since October last year. And what a celebration you crafted!...
