Light Fantastic

As promised, the electricians showed up bright and early this morning to finish installing our new lights. I love these pendants, and it is really nice to have the halogen cans up in the ceiling, rather than hanging down with all their glare.


Here's a little closer look at the pendants:


C has been keeping the guys busy rebuilding the old patio arbor. We have decreased its size from I believe 9 uprights to 3, added a little "roof" (to keep C and the grill dry when he is grilling in rainy weather), and may leave it natural, to match the new pool fencing. The men hadn't added the "roof" when I snapped this picture:


That is Pat, our contractor, on the left. I am so pleased with all of the work that he and his crew have done for us. They were great to work with, and even though both C and I treasure our privacy, I think we may actually miss having those guys around!

I had a few this afternoon to play with the silk charmeuse yardage that I showed you yesterday. I hope that I'll have a finished piece to display tomorrow..........so, stay tuned!!!


PEACE

We grill year round and are happy to have a nice covered area. Have I told you that your music startles me when I open your blog. I have to turn down my sound.

That granite looks wonderful on your bench. I think I'll miss your kitchen pics when it's all finished. Just noticed your little clock showing cost of the Iraq war - what a horror. I've always loved America but between your President & our ex Prime Minister I nearly lost my faith in both our countries. Our new PM has made me feel proud again to be Australian and now I have my fingers crossed for Obama. OOXX
