New Bathroom in the Works

For the past few days it has been kind of messy around here.

We are in the process of remodeling the bathroom.  When we took out the old shower we discovered an unknown leak under the shower and the toilet.  Requiring replacement of the half of the floor.

We aren't rushing this since we want it to look good and we both work so we can't spend all day on it like I would like to. 

Here are a few pictures of work in process:

There is still some minor things the shower needs done and then we will be pulling out the sink to put in the new one.  Along with painting and new stone floor, I think it will look wonderful!!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Zipper Bracelets

I have 100's, and I really do mean 100's of zippers at my house. 

Back in the 60's  my great grandmother owned a 5 & 10 store in Indianapolis.  When she closed the store she packed all her inventory away in the chance she might reopen one day.  After she passed away, my grandmother had all this stuff moved to her attic.  After grandma passed away it all came to my dad and his sister.  No one had a use for allot of the stuff and me being the person I am, can't say know to a freebie when offered to me!  Which by the way, my husband really hates at times, but he is very good natured about it since he knows he can't when....lol

I was playing around with things the other day and this is what I hit upon. 

Sorry, I completely spaced taking pics of the process...I just glued ribbon to the cloth part of the zipper.  Added Velcro to fasten with and you have some cute kiddie bracelets. 

My grand babies love them. 

Working towards getting a flea market booth and trying  to stock up inventory on repurposed  items for it.  I will show more when that is ready. 

So what do you think about the bracelets?  Be honest....I can take it!

Have a great day!

My Goodness!

Just realized I have been AWOL for a little while.

I have been very busy trying to build inventory for an Esty shop and booth at a flea market I want to open up.

My dream has always been to work from home.  My job is become extremely stressful and it has gotten to the point I just want to cry rather then go in any more.

I find working with adults with developmental disibilites to be very rewarding and really love what I do.  Its the company I work for that is the problem.  So not wanting to just up and abandon my clients, I figure I would find a way to work from home and maybe just work partime if that much.

I will be posting pictures later this week.  I just want everything ready to go before I do.

You folks have a great day.  I am getting off here to have a wonderful lunch with hubby.  Who, I also hardly see anymore.....but trying to fix that also!
