Well here is where I'm at with my project:
Since you last saw this, I've added a little metallic paint, a little turquoise paint and now I'm cutting fabric into shapes.
I know what I'm getting for Christmas! A new furnace! Yippee skippy, right? It looks like the other one is not worth fixing, so we will be having a new one installed, probably on Friday. Friday will be one week that we've gone with no furnace. We have been counting our blessings that the weather has been ranging from daytime temps in the 30s to 40 during this time period. With those temps it is easy to keep our house warm enough with the wood stove. By the time I get up in the mornings, though, it's starting to get a bit chilly. Brrrr!
Oh, and I got some other exciting news today. I found out that my books have been shipped and should arrive on my doorstep by maybe Monday. YAY! So for those of you who have pre-ordered, I'm hoping to have them in the mail to you by mid to late next week, if all goes as planned.
