We had new countertops put in, along with a new sink and faucet. We are very happy with the finished product and even happier to have our kitchen back. We will be putting our backsplash in on our own in the next few weeks.

We had a great time having Mark home with us for a few days while the countertops were being put in.

Lance loves apples, but didn't expect a green apple to be so sour.

Getting Creative in the New Year

My sister Ali made new bedding for her little girl yesterday and inspired me to do the same. Mine isn't nearly as cute (http://kuhruafamily.blogspot.com) but, hey, it was free. I just used sheets I already had to cover and old comforter!

Olivia helped me by handing me pins and holding the tape measure. She loved cuddling up when it was done.

The comforter on the right was one I bought months ago. But I have had a mismatched one on the left bed. I also made some extra pillows out of left over curtain fabric and the left over fabric from the "duvet cover".

The striped sheet is one that Mark's parents gave to us when we got married. I LOVE it and have always wanted to do something with it.
