Have I finished the vinyl tiles in the bathroom your ask? Nope, not yet. I have two pieces to go that need to be done once the old toilet is lifted off. Well, and there is a bad trim job on another piece so I should pull that one up and re-do it. I’m going to see if I can manage to sweet talk S into helping me go get the new toilet and install it this weekend or next. I did however start on the dining room floor last week. I have only a few more tiles to go to finish that off. The kitchen is next but moving the fridge and stove may make that tricky. I am tempted to pull up the stinky carpet in the back bedroom and do this as well but I’m not so sure that is a good idea. I would really like instead to have laminate flooring again in place of the carpet.

Yes, I fell off the Internet again. I won’t go into all the reasons why but I am working to put myself back together and perhaps move a little step further along a path that will lead to where I want to be.
I have been cleaning up the house a bit. The bleeping guest room toilet had a leak and it seems that I made it worse in my attempts to fix it. I am now fed up with the thing and am going to replace it. Went to look at suitable replacements last night and also bought some self-stick flooring. I imagine that it isn’t the best and most fancy stuff in the world, but I am pretty sick of seeing my old blah vinyl floors. So I bought one box for the guest bath and nearly finished it last night. I’m thinking now to get some more to redo the other bathroom, the kitchen, and the dining room. It is fairly inexpensive and when it wears out I can just have tile put in or something. I’ve already been thinking about that for a few years. Am I doing all the proper prep work and putting leveling stuff on top of the existing floor? Um…well…no. Yeah yeah I know that is bad but really I’m looking for it to look better than what is there now and last say a year or so. So sue me.
Other than that I’ve been trying to wrestle the yarn and fiber stash into submission and clean up and organize in general.
Still not much in the shop right now. I did recently finish some custom orders one of which was a request for patchwork like I did for the Blythe Con 2009 bag. I’m shocked at how well it turned out. There is even embroidery on it…of letters…that I did…that doesn’t suck! Woot! Photos are over in the custom order section of the shop. I have two 4-day weekends this month so I really really am going to try harder to get some things listed.
Also, I’m all updated on WordPress and I kinda want a new theme. I like the colors and banner I have now, but I’d like an up to date theme code wise. Anyone out there have any suggestions for good themes that are easy for the end-user to customize?
