A Little Renovation, Part One

This is the old prefab fiberglass shower in our master bathroom. We inherited it with a patch already on the floor, It was dark (no light), cramped and a pain to keep clean. I have disliked it since we moved into the house, so I was not sorry to see it go.

Here is the shower after the fiberglass and wood were removed. Our builder found three walls that aren't plumb and a vent pipe in the wrong place.

Our hot water pipe (the one on the left) also started dripping from a joint leak sometime in the last couple of months. So as it turns out it was a very good thing we decided to renovate.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
