YOP Week #18

This has been a busy and productive week....just not for blogging.  I really don't have much to show for it either as some is for Christmas and other stuff is just plain housework.  But I will show you some of my projects and the fiber ones first as this is YOP Sunday.  This is block #7 of 12 for the scrapghan and I haven't started the next block as I have been busy on Christmas presents.  Hopefully I'll get another one done this week but we'll see. 

Here are sneak peek-a-boo shots of some presents I'm working on........this one I hope to finish this week..............

This one is the corner-to-corner and it is getting big like a shawl about now...........I haven't decided if I am going to make it a square or a rectangle....there are directions for both and I need to go look at them again.............love making this.................

Now for what else I've been up to............cleaning and decorating a bit........

I'm tackling my bathroom and I had the girl's litter box in the shower as I don't take showers but I moved it out into the laundry room and started cleaning ceiling and walls (all tile) in the shower.  I am also using up what I have in cleaning supplies as I now make my own but I must admit I used Scrubbing Bubbles on this and it was nice because it sticks where you spray it and doesn't run which is really nice for ceilings and vertical surfaces.  It did a fine job too but when it's gone I will be using my"natural" cleaning supplies that I make myself.
I think it's pretty obvious where I cleaned and where I didn't!  Yuch! LOL!

Taa Daa!  All clean!

I had an old rusty drain and a gold tension shower rod that I "refurbished" using Krylon Chrome paint..............I forgot to take a before but you can see the bottom end is more gold than chrome...

All done.....fresh and new looking...wow , what a difference a little spray paint makes and it sure beats buying all new............

This was the back side of the drain which was the worst.............I scrubbed it as well as I could and dried it well before painting.............

Voila!  Good as new!

Here's the paint I used and see the nifty handle attached to the can?  It's well worth investing in one of these! It can be taken off and put back on another can....you only need one and I'm thinking it was less than $4.00.  It really helps you spray more evenly and keeps your fingers from getting tired holding down the nozzle.

Here's my little tart warmer that I ordered from Sam's school sales.  They were selling Yankee Candle items and you could log on and order online and his school still got credit for it.  Best school sales program I've ever participated in and trust me...my kids were in many over the years!

Here's my little helper too who isn't so little any more! She's now been wormed, had all her shots including rabies and is scheduled to be spayed December 7th.  What happened to my little baby Miss Peeps?

Happy Trails!
It goes without saying that my thoughts and prayers have been with the families and people of France after Friday's horrific  attack and they will continue to be for the weeks and months ahead.
