My first blog day

Hi everyone, 
Today i finished up a dinosaur hanging towel i started yesterday. It gave me so much trouble yesterday that I stopped and even more trouble today (I'm not sure if i messed up or my machine) but i FINISHED IT. Then I made another Mardi Gras towel and started some baby items for a friends daughter who is having a boy in March.
Will start posting pictures of the things i make, and also will post pictures of the bathroom we are remodeling (yeah).
As far as the remodeling goes, So far we have removed everything but the tub, we scrapped off the popcorn ceiling, put sheetrock on the wall and ceiling (used to be 1970 era paneling) , scrapped up the linoleum floor (also 1970s era) and my wonderful husband taped and finished the sheetrock by himself. Tomorrow its going to be time to apply texture to the wall and pull electrical after the texture dries. My husband already built our vanity, he stained and varnished it, and now it needs the last coat of polyurethane, he also built the drawers, the doors we order premade once we are done.
Now its decision time, what color paint for wall, ceiling and molding, what faucet (good quality is kinda pricey), and what finish (also determines price), what light fixture, (luckily floor and grout color are chosen already we are using the same floor we used in the other bath we remodeled  last November, we also already picked out the counter top it includes the sink) also how big to build the storage cabinet, how wide, we are making drawers on bottom instead of cabinet doors, so how deep each drawer (whew).  All these decisions give me a headache  (maybe because i have to live with them a lonnnnnnnnnnng time).
Its hard to believe its easier to design and sew for someone else, maybe because its not my decision?

OK now for the pictures, uh, believe it or not my memory on my camera is full (i never erase the pictures because I'm so afraid of losing all the pictures that i have that i hold onto them) so I will backup my photos so i can erase the memory card and will start posting pictures soon.
