What I did on My Vacation

First we actually, Charlie scraped and painted and popcorned (?) the kitchen ceiling.  The two skylights would leak every time it rained  We finally had to take them out all together.  The ceiling was stained and started to peel so  he had to fix it.

He wanted to do something with all the apples we have so he started making cider and apple sauce.

This is what I did

 I have a few others on Etsy (go to etsy.com look for betzja and can be purchased through Etsy.  I will sell most of these directly if anyone is interested.  Contact me through facebook or leave a message on this blog or email me at cr82learn@gmail.com

Busy productive weekend

I spent Yesterday making jewelry:

 I spent today cleaning and switching 2 rooms.  the frist room that is (was) Shonda's that we have trouble getting heat and air conditioning to is now a craft room.

The smaller room that was a messy craft room and had good AC and heat is now Shonda's (the guest) room

This rocking chair is from a great grandfather.

This quilt  top was made  for me by my great grandmother when I was born . My mom had it quilted for me as a Christmas present several years ago.
