More Progress….

More Progress….

May 15, 2012 By 45 Comments

So much fun stuff has been happening and going on and I am quite excited to share it with you all!

Last week was a week full of progress!  We got the walls painted, shelves painted, bathrooms painted, tile started, and even the awning painted!  We also got 60 tons of rock spread out on our parking lot and un-covered the old brick sidewalk!!  I KNOW!  BRICK!  So exciting!

Here are a few pictures to keep you up to speed on what is happening!

Adorable!!! Right!?

I chose this great turquoise color for the awning stripe, because I liked how it complimented the brick!  I was going to do a pink, but when I started ‘auditioning’ colors I just liked the turquoise better!  It’s a bit sloppy, though.  We were leaning over it (it is much bigger than you expect!) We even rigged up our own painting stick with duct tape!

 

 We will be finishing it up and getting better lines, soon!  LOL (you can see in the pic below!)

Painting and painting! Mom and Dad working on the check-out area!

This was a really late night, trying to cram as much as we could get done.  Painting the center check-out island!  Trying to bust it all out before carpet install begins!

This week we are getting carpet,new doors and windows and the main light fixtures up!

So, here you go!  A little peak into what has been consuming us for the past two weeks!  Throw in Mom and Dad’s crash, and you’d be safe to say we are exhausted!

Life just keeps getting more interesting, no doubt!

I do know one thing though, and it’s that we all feel so blessed!

    I don’t live in your area, but I have told my husband that I want to come visit your new shop after it is finished and open for business!! You all are working so hard and it shows!!! It is going to be just beautiful. Over the past few months, I have placed many orders from your web site and it will be even better to buy something fom you in person!!! I can’t wait..

  • Kim Taylor

    I am wanting to visit your new store this summer. Do know about when you will be opening?

  • Edandjeanheck

    I’m coming through Hamilton Friday, and I’m planning on stopping by, OF COURSE! Can I help out in any way? I could pitch in for a couple of hours, then it’s off to Des Moines to see grandkids. Give me a job, I can swing a hammer or a mop! Even a toilet brush if that will help.

  • Lindahenzler

    You all are very blessed. I am so excitedd for you all with the new store coming together so well. I can’t wait to see more photos!

  • Rina

    I am only two hours south of you and am trying to contain myself and keep from running up to your shop until you get the new store finished.  It’s hard to keep from jumping in the car and taking a little trip north but the fabric I received today helps a little. I’ll be ordering more Friday as one of the solids was the perfect match to a print I have.   Any timeline on when you hope to open?

  • Debi4weaver

    Absolutely loving watching the progress through your blog. Cannot wait for OPENING DAY! Lord willing, I’ll be there! I’m excited for all of you. BTW…I love the turquoise awning! :)

    What a great store you will have to share with your customers.  Wish I lived closer and could visit but your site on the internet will have to do.

  • GreatGranny201

    I enjoy watching your building project as it comes together and the progress you are making!  Shows what can happen when everyone works together like your family does. Glad your Mom and Dad weren’t seriously injured in their accident….scarry stuff though! Best wishes for your new venture.

  • Tangotigress

    I live in Western North Carolina and have watched as you prepare the new store.  I don’t have lots of extra money, but I’m going to save a little each month so I can get to drive to Missouri to see it.  Won’t have much to spend, but just the wonder of it all!

  • Readyjo

    Crash? What happened? Is everyone okay?

  • Nana5g

    I love the enthusiasm, I love the progress, I love watching a family work together. Every step is a blessing to watch. Some day I would like to visit. 

  • Sujan

    What crash?  I haven’t been here in a while and I’m afraid I missed something.

  • Pilgrimquilt1

    Oh wow!  What a neat shop this is going to be.  I would love to see it when it opens.  I have watched all your videos at least twice and have purchased many things.  Would love to see you in person. 

  • Coleen

    Thank you for sharing your progress. I love seeing how things are going.  :  )

  • Denise

    The shop is going to be the diamond in Hamilton!  I’m coming for the bus tour in June.  Will you be done by then?

  • KyKwiltz

    Give my best to all the family; you are indeed blessed.  And thank you to all at MSQC for the fun and fabulous website, fantastic fabrics, and outstanding customer service.  Good luck with the new store!

  • Auntiemern

    Cannot wait to come out there and see you all when you get opened. Thinking there may just be a few of us coming :)

  • Karyn Low

    I love the idea of the paint brush on a long pole…ingenious!
