Tiled and Then Some

We have bathroom tiles....
and entryway tiles!  He will be coming back on Thursday to finish the grout and begin work on the sheetrock in the diningroom and kitchen. 
Dad finished his work in the kitchen and archway. 
Everything is ready for the big day on Thursday.

Bill just has to fine tune (run wires and water in the attic) to the newly prepped wall.

I finished Mom's quilt and she now has to bind it; I will put up a photograph then.  As soon as we took her quilt off the frame, we loaded up another.  This one for my neighbor who made this twin sized quilt for
her grandson at Jacksonville University.  Remember this is the center block I embroidered and cut off the corner when trimming the stabilizer!?!  Glad to see she was able to rescue it!  I am just quilting it with a simple meander.
I am still knitting away on the lace  mystery shawl, but this cold is impairing my ability to reason well and the counting and recounting of the lace is not as enjoyable in my present 'snotty' frame of mind.
But, I am loving the mindless (almost) knitting of the round afghan!  It is a very good knit!
We got a pleasant surprise last evening.  The custom cabinets we ordered for the bathroom are not only ready, they were delivered !  The cats loved smelling and exploring them.  As soon as the grout is dried, we will be moving them in!  They are solid oak, just what I imagined-so happy!
