Ok, where is the title of my blog from??? Of course, Simon and Garfunkle! Well, I'm shaped more like a brick than a rock, but hey, don't you like my island? Jack finished it today and I love it.. I love him too! I also painted the other side of the kitchen a bit lighter than it was. Now it flows much better. Only a few little finishing touches, such as trim around the bottom of the cabinets and some curtains. Whew, it took me longer than I thought it would and Jack has canceled all the HGTV so I don't get anymore crazy ideas. (shhh...I already have some more crazy ideas!)
Yes, I know this pic is blurred. It's a pic of crab apple jelly. See the pretty tree below? It's my brother Greg's tree. It sits in his front yard and it has the biggest crab apples I've ever seen! Jack and I and my little great-nephew Ethan picked a peck or more and I promised I'd make jelly. It came out great. We tried some on toast this morning and I'm going to give some to any family that shows up at the Christmas party. I can do that because I made 24 jars of this stuff! That should be more than a year's supply don't you think??? I'm thinking of calling it "E's Crabby Jelly" after Ethan who's not crabby at all, just cute as a button.
Greg, you can brag that you have some super duper crabs here! I mean crab apples!

Love the island! The other part of the kitchen looks really nice light! I'm sure it was a pain to paint inside those shelves, eh? :-/

wow! love the kitchen! I love love LOVE the beadboard! so cool to see it all come to fruition after talking over so many ideas over the years! way to go!
The kitchen is beautiful! I want an island in my kitchen! I so didn't know you could actually do something with crab apples. I will have to keep that in mind!
so now we've got even more reasons to come and visit! #1 to see the kitchen in person #2 to get some of that jelly- and #3 to have jack fix my tmj! I will be taking you guys up on that offer- it would be a lifesaver. this jaw has been making me crazy lately with the pain and annoyingness- so I am so excited to hear that jack can help! once kent gets to a normal rotation (surgery ends in about a month) we'll make plans. plus I LOVE ashland in the fall!!
The kitchen is wonderful! I love the island HGTV does pay off. Thanks for your blog address, visit mine often. See you at Leadership Meeting. (kind of nice not having to do anything but attend :))
