I am so glad that your hand didn't blister. Good thinking, putting it into ice water. I have been busy sewing here of late. I just finished a comforter for our bed, and it is really 'comfy'. It is made of red velour, and pj really likes it.
Thanks for sharing! Luv ya!....dee.
i'm sorry! i know how much it hurts just getting splattered by the little "pops" that come off the bacon when i'm frying it ... i can't imagine spilling a whole pan of it :( i did laugh at the workman's comp. comment .... tee hee! hope it didn't effect your blogging hand :)
So glad you found a good use for Mr. M. ;) You are one lucky woman that your hand isn't much worse Mimi.
What have I been up to? Well I'm off this week supposedly to pack all my stuff for my upcoming move but I seem to be spending most of my time doing stuff for my new place. Had the painter over to look and give me a quote. Had the blinds guy to do the same.Took my Turkish rugs over and laid them down to help pick paint colours for all of the rooms - to get rid of that builder's white. Laid masking tape on the floor to check out the lay out for my furniture.
Did shopping for lights to replace the ones that came with the place. Found what I wanted but they didn't have it in stock so made a few trips to the electrical supplier. Thought the electrician was coming yesterday just to look at the place and give some comments but no - they installed my lights and moved a few thermostats (why oh why do they put them in the middle of the few walls I have??? Don't they know I have pictures to hang?) Luckily the moving guy's car broke down yesterday (well lucky for me, not him) so he had to reschedule for tomorrow and I could stay with the electricians.
I've been looking for a small chandelier for a dressing room between my bedroom and ensuite bath. Was planning a trip an hour east of here today since my friend saw some that I might like...but instead, this morning on the way to her exercise class, she noticed a gorgeous old chandelier (with real crystals) in the garbage! She got a friend of hers to help her with it...went to exercise class...so this afternoon we took it over to my new place to see if it would work. Yup! :D Needs to be rewired and cleaned up a bit but it will look gorgeous. oh took a car load of my good dishes over to my new place with the chandelier too.
Waiting for my apple crisp to finish...then back to packing.
