So obviously the kitchen reno is still a work in progress. At the rate we are going it will be a work in progress in the year 2525! The focus right now is on the pantry but since the floor is to be laid this coming Wednesday, the focus is going to need to change to moving the electrical, and getting the plumbing ready to go for the new dishwasher. I'm not quite sure how this is all going to be done by Wednesday but it has to be or no floor and that just isn't gonna fly! So here's what the old pantry looked like. Not very functional at all. The opening was small and it was hard to find things way in the back.
This is the start of what will be the new pantry.

I was supposed to share our progress on the stitch a long but forgot to take a picture of Mary's. I've emailed her and asked her to email a picture of her progress but in the meantime, I'll just share my progress on TR. The section I'm working on is all done (or supposed to be done) with a double running back stitch. Not sure that's what I'm doing and I can't say I am in love with the process but I am enjoying the results.
Today was mostly spent cleaning the basement so Adam has a clean place to rest his head when he gets here. The act of cleaning led me to putting some stitching stuff away which led me to seeing just how many different things I actually have started that I haven't finished. YIKES!! And to think I used to be a one project at a time person with no UFO's!!! I will never clean again. Cross my heart. Done. I do not need to know that kinda information. No siree bob! From now on the basement will remain a filthy pig sty and I am just fine with that!
Dan is back from Menards, Amy is home from babysitting so I guess I should do something about feeding them. Keep an eye open for a giveaway. I've reached 200 followers and I think that deserves a celebration! Just need to pull everything together for it.
Have a great rest of the weekend and thanks for stopping by!
Take care till next time!
