New project

Yes, I AM still working on that dang banner. My friend J'neane is a MAJOR seamstress and she and I have been getting together once a week to just sit and sew. So now I have the patches on. How 'bout that. And the words mostly on the circles.
Monday I decided that the bathrooms were a disaster and needed overhauling. I had already pulled the paper off (circa 1980) which left the backing still desperately clinging to the wall. I was not sympathetic to that relationship, however, so I rolled up my sleeves, started spraying DIF all over and the paper started laughing. "haHA! You can't separate us that easily!!" It's true. I have used that stuff before and it's like going to a chiropractor instead of a physical therapist (get a plug in for the hubby, Ame). It ADJUSTS things but doesn't solve the ROOT PROBLEM. So I got some water in a spray bottle, soaked things really good and started scraping away. It took HOURS. And I am a very diligent scraper. There's still a little left, but my neck hurts from looking up all day. Maybe later. I also took down the vanity lights over the mirror: who chooses stuff like this? BLEH! Dark brown, carved, very 70ish, which is odd, considering that the house was actually built in 1980. Ditto towel racks and TP holder. There is paper all over the floor of the bathroom still, even after filling up a garbage sack full of the big stuff. Daniel said today, "Uh, Mom, when will the bathroom be clean again?" Before anyone says (in unison, please) "Clean it yourself, teenage person!" I must say that the very morning I started this horrendous mess, he scrubbed it himself and it is GERM-FREE. So he will not get bashed this time. I still have the other bathroom to do, too. But now I "need" new countertops and cupboards that will match the new paint and lighting and stuff. THat may have to wait....
