Been a while

Nice relaxing day, hopefully get some things done tomorrow though. 

We both chose to go out for our Anniversary.  But we didn't do it because it's cold and we wanted to stay in and catch up on reading and some other things.   We will celebrate by a couple nights away around Valentines or little after. 

I was surprised by a sweet card and some cologne.  He noticed I was looking at rose gold by Tiffany.  I love all things, Tiffany.  After seeing that he went out to find it.  Very very special!   So much more than thoughtful, not enough words to describe.

looks pretty sitting next to my Jewelry he got for me last Christmas.  Love reading about Faberge too. 

Snow has fallen all around us, but we had one tiny snowfall this winter so far.  The first one last week and it didn't last long.

 I am hoping for one more really good snowfall!

We did get the shower in our bedroom finally done. Now just waiting on the glass doors. 

Not going to do the rest of the room.  Way too much money right now. Glad to have this done as we waited for about 8 months.   The walls are tile in blue and in great shape, so we will not touch those right yet.    The floor is in great shape also.  Not broke, so we will not fix it.   

The shower tiles from 1969 were cracked and the shower head we wanted more centered. 

I must say this shower had no penetrating water behind the tiles and you can see by next picture the studs taken out were not damaged.   

The front was opened up and more switches were put in for overhead light in shower and we wanted a ceiling fan with light also.  

When we get our shower doors.  I will post the finished work.  They should be coming in the next week or so.

We tried to get tile fixed, replaced or retiled.  Very hard finding someone especially this past year to do.   We opted for the shower re do and got it over with.  No, it's not subway tiles, large stone tiles or whatever else is out there.  Ours look and feel great, easy to keep clean and we are happy with the work.  

Now to finish framing off this latch hook I did with left over yarn from various projects.  I used burlap for the backing.  I am no artist or experienced in rug hooking or anything like it.  I just usually read a few instructions and then take a  try at it.    I was coming home late one evening years ago and saw this huge moon shining through skeletal trees and decided to draw it on burlap, then hook with yarn.  

  Hopefully I can start posting more regularly.

til next time, Betsy 💓
