Surprise Package

I got home from work today and found a surprise package on my counter.

A dear family friend named Megan and also a fellow crafter made me not one but TWO fantastic bags.

She had just started making bags about a year ago and had written a really

enthusiastic letter about how much fun she was having making things for people.

So I thought-I HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE FUN THINGS!

So I sent her a letter and a little check to help her offset her costs

and she made and sent me two beautiful bags.

I just love them and need to share them with you.

She had asked what colors I would like.

I said blacks and reds with swirls.

I love the black border she added to this one.

And she really hit it with the material.

This bag is nice and deep.

I am really enjoying the different textures of fabrics with this bag.

Here is the front.

And then the back.

I had asked if she would embroider her initials and date it,

and she sewed that into the inside.

This great big button is just the right finishing touch.

Thank You Megan-I will always cherish these!

The floor got poured today.

They painted the waterproof stuff  (technical term) on the outside of  it too.

It looks like an ice rink with the sun shining on it.

These two handsome fellas came along for the ride.

Tom making sure that it all looks right.

They have now taken off all the forms.

It's amazing how short a time this has taken

 This is looking at the front which will be the guest bedroom.

We were not able to get out there tonight

but had two showings in two days for our house now.

They were putting the plumbing in

and then should pour the floor.
