Here’s your warning: the next few days I’ll probably bore you to death with progress pictures from the shop.
The tiles underneath that beige paint are black and white. We are scraping the paint off the white ones, painting the black ones red, and the trim in between them will get painted blue.
And by “WE” I mean Mark and the boys. You know, the Royal We.
Look at my sign!!!! It is the most awesome thing, ever. I wanted to wait until I actually saw the sign before I bragged about the company that did it. It’s actually Signs by Tomorrow, and zowee, wowee, they really lived up to their name! If you recall from yesterday, I called in the morning and it was actually done by the end of the day.
Awesome.
Still need to figure out how to hang it from the pole, but between Mark and my landlords, I’m sure they will have it figured out in no time.
(Those squares are in process, Mark went back and did the edges, the boys did all of the paint you see there. He also worked on continuing to scrape. Such fun…)
Here’s another little project Mark’s been working on for me — some cool stands! He needs to get more dowels so he can make some more for me!
I’m at a point with some stuff where I look at it and wonder “Should I put this here? Or over there? Or maybe….in this spot?”
I have a suspicion that that will be ongoing forever….
I hope to get my order of needles tomorrow (knitting needles, that is…) and am trying to clean up some last things with the website so that I can get that open. My sister and I both did test transactions today and that worked….so…almost ready!
Only a few million more details to go!
Better get back to it. Either that or go to bed early. It’s a toss up…

“Almost ready”, eh? There’s nothing (almost nothing) that google can’t find. 😉
