I had the quite house to myself for 2 1/2 glorious hours. So I worked on the last charity rag rug. The fundraiser is in a few weeks on October 21st at the Tucson JCC.. It will be for Eric's Day program for special needs young adults. I have over 4 storage tubs of hand crafted items, many of them one of a kind. It has been a busy summer.
A blog about my life, my fiber arts and pictures of my finished work. I will also throw in the very occasional recipe or shopping tip.

One Step Back
Well the new fridge and most of the appliances arrived today. This is where we went backwards. The newly widened doorway was not quite wide enough. We could not open the fridge door all the way. So the newly widened doorway was made even wider. More electrical was moved. By 12:30 I had the house back.

Kitchen Remodel - Dry Wall and More
It had to happen sometime durning the remodel. Eric had one of his bad nights. There were 4 loads of eyrpy laundry done between 9 pm and 7am. I made a quick run for tea before the drywall person came. Around 10 we were able to start Eric on pedilyte. I was too tired to do much knitting.

A Partial Day Off
Today John only worked a half a day and the contractors were not do until this afternoon. I took the morning to do a little shopping after I dropped Eric off at his program. Then I spent the afternoon at Grandma's Spinning Wheel.. I got a good 3 ounces spun and managed to relax.
I also received a donation of yarn today. Since I knew the knitting guild yarn stash was full, I dropped it off to a group who knit blankets for kids who are trying to stay in school despite being abandoned by their families. They should have enough to knit 3 more blankets. Did I mention that commercial yarn cones are heavy?
I am ending the day washing eyrpy laundry..yes, Eric is eyrpy with a sore tummy. I think I will try to sneak off for a little sleep after I start the 3rd load of laundry for the night. As it stands at the moment load 1 is in the dryer, load 2 is in the washer and load 3 is pending.
I think it is time to start knitting scarfs.

Kitchen Remodel Plus Life
Today was the last day of demolition and reconstruction has started. I would like to point out the reason we did not get a gas range is because we do not have a gas outlet in the kitchen. Lisa, that picture is for you. To make things a little more hectic around the house today, Eric got sent home from program. You will also notice a 2,000 jump in my rows knit. That is because I used today to start counting the finished knitting that I have been dumping in a laundry basket behind the couch. I only got 1/2 way through the basket. Did I mention that I still have a few UFO's too?

Electrical and More
Today work continued on the electrical work. The wall was partially opened and the plumbing was started. Three layers of lenolium were also removed. John and I traded off spending the day with Eric in his room, because he had the day off.

Demolition Part 1
The first part of demolition happened today. The water side of the kitchen was taken out, i.e. the sink and dishwasher. The fridge was moved but with no water connection I think I will put a few bottles of water in the fridge. If it shows up the tan was the original paint color of the house.
