Making Progress

So both Donnas (Parry and Bell) have asked how my clock is coming and I promised both I would put some pictures up on the blog. So thanks to my wonderfully helpful husband who reminded me to, I am putting up pictures of my progress. Also, a picture of my first project, the coat rack, not yet stained because it is still sitting in the back of Eldon's truck...that's another project in and of itself.

So here are the beginning pieces of the frame, with a few of the first cuts and then, I messed everything up and started over. I didn't get pictures of every step, so the next ones are of the main frame all put together. I have the decorative backboard cut out and waiting to be put in and then we get working on all the fancy stuff like the pediment and the cove bottom and the door and so on. I will add more pictures as I take them but here's what I have so far.

Christmas in Washington

So as I was looking at Maddi and Eric's blog I realized I completely forgot to put up pictures from Christmas. So here, finally, is our first Christmas together.

Christmas morning













Here we have our duvet cover on our mattress on top of our new bed that Henry and Donna made for us! Along with Loni and Jordan's new pillows which we thought looked better on our bed than theirs...and their bed skirt :)













This is the amazing duvet cover that Mandi worked so hard on for us! Isn't it beautiful? Thank you so much Mandi.







































The Gotfredson boys were so good this year, Santa left a special gift for them on the door step...They absolutely love her!
