No Water

 ... in the kitchen sink.

Our kitchen renovation continues.  We started with a new floor in 2021 just after we moved here. This summer we got a new refrigerator and contracted for counters and cabinet work.

Tuesday the counters were installed with a new sink.  Unfortunately counter guys don't do plumbing and we had booked the plumber for two days after the install but that was when the install was to be the week before. Changing the date for plumber has meant that we must wait until the 31st for him to come to connect the sink.

Cabinets will get new doors and drawer fronts, and the boxes refinished some time later in November.

In the meantime we are loving the new counters: a quartz mix.


As far as doing dishes since we don't think dishwasher will function either, I tried using the bathroom sink.  Too small, and a ceramic sink is not conducive to dishwashing.  I purchased lots of compostable plates and glasses but still using sink was awkward.  Daughter Sarah suggested setting up a camp sink with three tubs. Daughter Emily has those I can borrow.  That's next on the list to set up.






My Desk ...

 ...gets messy when I make cards.


I'm working on Christmas cards.


One design but have different patterned papers to use.


Twenty made so far.  Many more to go.
