Good Evening Girls,
Here's some pix of today's progress...
All the "spots" on the wall, yeh, that's spackle. I did that! : ) It needs to set for 24 hours & then will be repeated. Eventually, it will be sanded, washed & painted. Remember, I said eventually.
These are photos of Scott's handy work! Where the closet framing was removed it left gaps in the drywall. Scott cut new pieces & screwed them into place. ALL of the screw holes, plus all of the old netting & plaster will be spackled to create an even (seamless) alcove for the new closetry to fit into...that comes after the spackle-spackle-sand-wash-paint-ING! Remember,I did say eventually...all good things take time, right?! 
It's unclear as to whether or not we'll take the time to go to Rehoboth for a bit f R & R. It sounds tempting, & my kites are calling my name, but we'll see what the "Boss Man" says tomorrow...?! ; )Meanwhile, I did manage to finish (& post on Flick'r) my completed Bunny Hill BOM #3. I had a difficult time with those little machine stitched flowers!!! It would have been SO/SEW much easier to simply hand embroider them, but my goal is to make each block using the sewing machine ONLY - NO hand work @ all!!!
Lor - I use Mettler 60/2 thread. It has green writing on the spool. It can be a challenge to find. If you need a source, let me know.
Good to see you gals last evening. Peggy, Mo & Lois - you were missed. There wasn't much in the way of show 'n tell, so you didn't miss much. We did hear Mare's birthday dinner story, which was quite entertaining! And, I got to HOLD baby Kevin & it was WONDERFUL!!! Thanks LA - you're the BEST! ; )
Enjoy your evening & these milder temps! Stitch a little something when you get the chance!
Piecefully, Pam

Pam,
I thought you were using 60 wt for hand applique. I have looked a few places and have not found it. Where do you get it?
The old spackle, dry, sand, wipe, spackle, dry, sand, wipe.....on and on...dust everywhere. I hate that part - I'll paint till the cows come home but I hate the prep work. It's looking good....and there is an end to the process. Keep that thought! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. I'm hoping to squeeze block #3 in there somewhere. Lois - hope your cold is better. Take care....piece.
I am feeling better. Didn't want to spread my germs to all of you.
I've got a "show and tell".
Spring is coming. I'm so excited. Crocuses are up and I saw a few robins.
