Late to the party

I feel a little late to the party, but Happy New Year!
Woot,woot and all that jazz.
We had a great Holiday with family and friends.
We were able to see more family than we had thought possible in one trip.
Kids, kids in law, grand-child, grand-dog, niece, nephews, grand-niece, mother, cousins.
I could feel the love and by the ringing in of the new year I was rung out.

 We are also working on what I hope is the (almost) last cleaning of the house in Virginia and doing some repairs.
The floor in the laundry room had rotted out under the hot water heater and the hook-up to the washer.
The leak was fixed, floor has been replace, tile put down, paint and hot water was on the day before we headed home. ( happy dance here)
I can tell you that house camping with no hot water is not my idea of fun.
And, I can tell you that no matter how hot boiling water is it will not cook 3 minute noodles, it just will not.
That was the 26 cent experiment.

Next- the half bath soon to be painted, tiled and new fixtures put in.

 Most of the rooms in the house will just need a good coat of paint.
But- you see what I am playing with.
The kitchen.
It is in real need.....

After the weekend we are heading back to the studio with visions of new cabinets dancing in our heads.
I hope you all had a great holiday.
2014....goodness.
Stay warm, dry and take a hot shower when you can.
