Where have I been...

Grand Canyon
Bryce Canyon
Zion
We took a fantastic road trip to Arizona and Southwest Utah in November. 
We spent our days hiking and enjoying being in the outdoors with our dear friends.

And we are doing some research into a total gut job on the kitchen.
This kitchen is original to the house.
The house was built in 1942.
The cabinets are made out of plywood, as are the walls.
The counters are slopping towards the floor.
 And the upper cabinets are too low and don't allow for prep space.
We received our first full bid.
We choked, as it ate up our whole budget.
The bid included Formica counters and reusing our existing appliances.
 And we have other work, besides the kitchen we need to address.
Like replacing the floor.
 
 Here is a peek at my design wall.
My niece is expecting a little bundle this summer and I have started this Scrappy Trip Around the World for the new baby.
The instructions can be found over at Quiltville.com.
