Snow, Tiles and Photos

Our office has been under construction for the past few weeks. My Hubby (the Doc) has been installing the ceramic tile that replaces very old carpet. I have not been much help to him, except to move out furniture and stuff, and come back a day later and move it back and help him clean up. Since we are not closing the office, this has taken place over the weekend, and as far as he gets, that's it until the next weekend.









This weekend he finished the tiling and most of the grouting, but had to allow dry time overnight. We got up early and were at the office around 7am, to take this....


and this......



to this.....



and this....

So nice and fresh looking now, easy to clean, and modern. There is a bit more grouting left to do, but the brunt of the work is done... Way to go Doctor/Handyman!


And here is a photo of the shocking weather... snow in Niagara on April 18! We should be on the golf course, not watching this tired old white stuff again! Where do I send my letter of protest?


Here are the final photos of the latest nuno-felt jacket. It has small knitted squares and bits of handspun merino, on merino batting and adhered to silk gauze in a green print.


and the back....


there are also strips of silk gauze on the surface of the felt.

Knitting of the shrug continues at a fair clip, and should be ready to show soon.... :)

While I have never made or used the materials you make your creations with.... I can appreciate the time and work it takes from beginning to end.
These Masterpieces could hang on the office walls. ;0)
