Beading Update!
This is the beautiful piece that Christine made in her Bead Stringing Class! She learned about balancing the design, crimping, which stringing materials to use and so much more! We had a great time! Take a peek at my website AngelMoose.com for classes and let me know when you are available and what you want to learn!
I'm thinking about offering class kits to take the shopping fear away, let me know what you think about that! Looking forward to hearing from you!
Happy Beading, gv
Amazing Transformation!
So, we still have a long way to go in the kitchen - but here is an update!
nap time!
This is the kitchen as we first saw it.
Love that linoleum! The tiles were pulled up, the wall was knocked down and the orange panel is gone!
All old counters and appliances are gone! The only thing that remains is the sink! (Propped up by 2x4's - thank you Avi!)
Jonathan and Arielle put down the new tile. It's amazing! And what a difference in the color and light of the room with the wallpaper and paneling gone!
nap time!Next...the cabinet and counters!

On a personal creativity note, Beth and I completed these Pearl Netted Necklaces. We both finished them off with very different pendants, but I think they both came out gorgeous!

Arielle made an appearance at a Fair for the Diabetes Foundation and while there someone tried to steal her crown! 
And then someone actually got it!
And then someone actually got it! Arielle has been having fun on photo shoots! This is one of my absolute favorites!
In January Arielle started school at Western Connecticut State University and we went on a tour of the campus, and I forgot my camera! This was taken with my iphone....
I'll have to go back and take some more pictures when I get a chance! It is so beautiful up here!

Kitchen Part 1
So, with all the major outside work done for the moment it was time to turn attention inside. 
This is how the kitchen looked when we purchased the house.It had all the original appliances from 1974. And not all of them were working, or working the way they should. The oven was dead. The stove would work but then would have little explosions and throw fire in your face. The fridge kept moaning at us, you could tell it was not long for this world. The dishwasher worked, but did not clean. 
And for me the orange plastic panel had to go. We purchased a new fridge with ice maker, so we needed to get a water pipe installed to the fridge. 
The old dishwasher pipe was hard mounted into the old dishwasher so that needed to be redone also, so while we were at it we decided we might as well move the appliances. As we did, the counters and cabinets fell. We also soon realized the old pipe codes for the oven and stove were 1/2 inch piping and now the code is 3/4 inch, so we needed to have someone come in and run new gas lines. 
And then we thought a doggie door would be a nice touch! Jonathan did that himself!
Lilibelle and Angel picked right up on how to use it and loved flying down the stairs into the back yard. Moe, not so much. 
We fenced in a small area for them to run around in , but Moe is scared of the stairs. He has gone up and down a couple of times but mostly sits on the porch watching the others run around and play. It's so sad, we need to work on that! We have a little time to help him while we wait for the tile and cabinets to arrive!
