First off, have to say another big thanks to the Boles family for my awesome kitchen clock. I am very excited to put it up. Here it is!!
I have been working on the tiny glass tile backsplash for two evenings now and have about 2 feet done. Wow. I think I have found a quicker way to work through trial and error, but really, 2 feet in 2 days? I'm having fun. Guess that counts for something :) I guess I'm not moving that slowly. I did also get the drawer and cabinet door pulls on...now that's progress.

Had a great birthday at home working. I took a trip to Menards in the middle of the day and had a fun experience. I tried to return a kitchen faucet that I purchased online. I was prepared to be told that I would have to mail it back but figured I'd give it a shot. As I was standing at the counter talking to the returns girl, I mentioned that I had gotten this particular faucet for a great price ($49 and was regularly $199!!!). After several attempts to work something out on the register, we finally decided that I needed the email confirmation (for additional information) and not just the packing slip. I said I understood and decided to leave the faucet there until I was done shopping. As I walked away from the counter I was stopped by a woman that had been standing there at the return desk next to me. She asked if she could buy the faucet from me for that sale price. I said of course. So...after a couple of minutes she gave me some cash and walked out with my faucet. A good deal for everybody. She was so happy with her find that all 3 or 4 times she saw me in the store after that she told me again how happy she was with that deal!

Glad you had a nice birthday. The project looks terrific. I never pictured "small" tiles when you mentioned it. They look fantastic. In years to come you will forget the time and enjoy the results. The clock will also be just perfect with the rest of the decor. Looking forward to the gray walls with the white and red - it will be stunning.
Thanks, Dad!!
Yes, the tiles are small. It is like putting a mosaic together. I am really happy with it - hope the grouting goes well. I am sort of "eye-balling" the spaces in between the tiles. I bought 1/8" spaces which were too big and so I just started putting the tiles up and using a level to adjust, hope they will look alright. I miss you. I would love to have you come out sometime and just work with me here if you are ever interested...maybe a long weekend? These projects are a lot of fun -
Love you both, J
Looks fantastic!!!! You've got a great eye for this stuff :) Keep on truckin'.
AHHHHH! Oh no, just realized that it has been nearly a year since I started the tile nightmare!!! Must finish!
