Dishcloths..remodel..and Santa

 It is Monday again! Thanks for visiting :) I did a little crocheting this week and made myself 6 new dishcloths.. I love using these to wash dishes , they work really well !

 Last week we got recessed lighting installed in the living room, dining room and foyer. The rest of the walls came down ( what a mess) and we ripped out the carpet and baseboards. This week the drywallers are supposed to start on Wednesday.
 This is the paint and carpet we are going with. It is hard to tell but its a grayish aqua paint .. the walls are now a sage green.
 The kitchen is so much brighter because of the larger opening into the dining room.



 Hard to believe that 2 weeks ago there was a wall here :)
 The opening into the kitchen from foyer was also enlarged.. We are going to need a new kitchen table that is smaller so it doesn't stick out. I am thinking a round one with a leaf for when we have more people here.



 The doorway from kitchen to dining room was enlarged about 3 1/2 feet ..It makes a huge difference.
 I have a couple more Prairie Schooler Santas finished and another about halfway done.
Thank you for your visits and nice comments ! I really appreciate them :)

  8. My mom always made this type of dish cloth. She is very ill with cancer now and is unable to crochet anymore. I'll always associate them with her :)

  9. Can't wait to see every thing finished up, and I'm sure you can't wait either! Remodeling is a true labor of love, drives you crazy during the process, but is so worth it once it's finished!

  13. You are so brave with all that remodeling! I think I'd have breathing problems if I saw the wall being knocked down, but then be obsessing about how I'd decorate afterwards. LOL I can't wait to see the after pics. Lovely crochet and stitching projects!
