Out With the Old...In With The New!

My Dear Husband is on vacation this week...and is tackling some home projects. One of them was taking out our old bathroom vanity/sinks, and installing a new one. Above is the old one.Here are my two macho men removing the old one. :)

Now we have none!

As you can see...Chips is inspecting their work! He was a big help!

Viola!

This project presented it's challenges, but they are almost finished the job, just a few details left to go.

Their work reminded me of this verse:
Colossians 3:23
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord

Great job guys!

Two 12" Calico squares
Two 12" Fusible fleece squares

2. Trace an 8" circle on back of one piece.
3. Pin two fused squares right sides together, stitch on traced line, leaving an opening for turning.
4. Cut 1/4" from stitching, turn, stuff firmly with fiberfill and hand stitch closed.
