She's left the building

What a fast 8 days.  Where did they go???  I think we crammed everything we possibly could into those 8 days too.  One thing I know for sure, I am BEAT!!!   Not sure if Nancy is as tired as me, but I need a rest.  Matter of fact, today after we got back from the airport I took a nap. I NEVER take naps.  Must have been fun huh?

I'll start at the beginning ok?  Sorry I didn't blog while she was here but really there was no time.  We started sewing in the morning and didn't stop one night until 3a.m.  Honestly we didn't.  We got so much done.   

So Nancy has her own room in my house.  She really does.  It's the first room right off the front door.  Only problem is it's wide open and doesn't have a door.  I've had these set of three doors in my garage since I sold my shop. I loved them, and bought them years ago.  Good old Hunka (shouldn't say OLD)   got them out, hosed them off and brought them inside for me.  I said, wouldn't that middle door look awesome with a curtain?? He said, yea it would. So I ran downstairs before we left for the airport and whipped up that cute little curtain.  Came back upstairs and he had hung the curtain rod on for me.  On the left side of the green door is another screen. The right side is also a screen.  I just love these doors and now will leave them in the house.  At least she had a little privacy this time.  

See where the front door is?  I told you she was close to it.  

A close up of the middle door.  Isn't that the cutest curtain??  It's from Lori Holt's new line, Sew Cherry. I love that fabric.  Both prints are from that.  I have them on the website in case you too want a curtain like mine.  Cause you know you do.  

This is her room.  It's like a little girls room, you know I had boys!!!  So it's fun to decorate girly.  

There's all of her gifties I got her in the bags on the bed.  I need to take pics of all the stuff she brought me. OHMY!!!!!  

I love putting Annie's under the glass domes.  I've been doing that for years.  It's so cute.  Annie might not like it but I think it's cute.  The roses I bought for Nancy's room. I always buy her flowers for her room and usually her bathroom when she visits.  Today after she left Hunka planted the rose out front on our hill.  

Yes that picture on the wall is crooked.  lolol  I didn't realize it when I snapped.  Nancy bought that for me for my birthday, the last one I had in Ca.  

This cabinet is in her room too, hunka made it years and years ago for our house in Ca. It fit in a perfect spot in our bedroom. It is so big it only fits right there in this house.  It's so tall.  Perfect for my quilts though.  

Boo came in town from Tennessee too, and he went with me to the airport to pick her up.  It was a surprise, she didn't know he was coming.  He ran in to help her with the bags at the baggage claim area.  She was surprised!!  But earlier in the day, he was in the country with his dad and he found this cute little guy.  I said PLEEEEEZE bring it to me.  Can you see how tiny it is? It was the cutest little thing. And yes he's on my kitchen counter.   Sorry.  I did clean it after.

I thought he might like a swim in the bird bath.  I couldn't put him in the Koi pond I thought he might drown.  

Then, yes we let him go.  I hated to. It was sort of sad to me.  But I didn't want to trap him in a box.  That wouldn't be right.  I hope he stays in our area so I can see him again.  I'm loving all this wildlife we have here.  Now I need a baby deer.  

Nancy wanted IMOS pizza because it's not in California, it is a St. Louis pizza. The family that started it live just a couple houses up from us. This is the best pizza. It has a cheese called Provel that is in St. Louis.  You can order it but I don't think it's sold in other states.  It just makes the pizza awesome. And it's a cracker like crust.  So we got her pizza the first night and again last night for her last supper.  OHMY that doesn't sound right does it??  We had our pizza,  our adult beverages and just hung out the first night. 

Lots more to show you but I must go an update my other blogs.  Be back soon with more.  

I miss you Nancy!!!

Cute way to use old doors and give Ms. Nancy some privacy - I'm sure she appreciated it, lol. Sounds like you got LOTS done. Sewing until 3 in the A.M. - don't think I can do it anymore :).

Okay now that door idea is to over the top with such cuteness...I love it and the curtain too. The girly room is soooo adorable. I look forward to see what you both sewed during Nancy's visit.
