 Summer is here and the flowers are happy!  So far, the deer have enjoyed astibles, Black-eyed Susans, daylilies, asiatic lilies, bee balm (Monarda), coral bells, columbines, roses, hostas, my beautiful Glowing Ember hydrangea, and of course the nasturtiums, and geraniums.  But the rhodies were beautiful and the peonies are doing very well!

New used for Grandma's old treadle sewing machine

Our guest bathroom was a wonderful project and it turned out beautifully!.   

Carl and I tore out the old vanity, large plate glass mirror, and vinyl.  I tiled the floor, replaced the lighting, and refinished the sewing cabinet.  Carl and I put up the wainscoating, which I really love.  

The new "vanity" is special, as I spent many hours as a child learning to sew on my grandmother's treadle machine.  My first project, at the age of 6, was a doll blanket from an old white pillowcase.  I was so proud and my doll looked so pretty wrapped in her "new" blanket!

Also, the "honey pot" was very appreciated as a little girl, as it kept me from having to go outside at night to use the outhouse.
