In our last post, we talked about our new woodstove.  Actually, the woodstove was a hand-me-down from Cherie's mother who in turn inherited it from Cherie's grandfather.  So the woodstove itself is quite old.  The chimney was new.  At any rate, the post was all about how when Michael's parents came to visit they helped us finish up the woodstove.  We were so excited about that part that we neglected to mention the reason they visited.  Hint: it had nothing to do with a woodstove.  It had to with this:

Um.  Yes.  We forgot to mention Annabel's first birthday.  Let's just all pretend that didn't happen and that we aren't posting this almost a month late, shall we?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANNABEL!  Thanks for putting up with all the sawdust.

Also, weeks ago (or was it months ago?  Yes, it was probably months) we finished the bathroom vanity but never showed you a picture of it.  In our defense, we didn't have a camera at the time.  We considered doing a charcoal sketch of the vanity, or perhaps a nice watercolor, but ultimately decided that such an artistic display would raise the classiness of this blog to a level that we can't support.  So, to maintain the present low-expectations of our readers, we decided instead to just hold off until we had a camera again.  Which we now do!

Here's the finished vanity:

HAPPY FINISHING, VANITY!  Thanks for holding our toothbrushes!

The doors and drawfronts are made of Douglas Fir plywood with mahogany trim.  Instead of the usual non-working applied drawfront below the sink, we installed two sink front tip-out organizers, which make a handy place to stash toothpaste.  The mismatched hardware is on purpose, because we are just craaazy that way.  And the doors usually have a white plastic child lock to keep curious fingers out of the cleaning products, but we took that off for the picture because we are vain about our vanity.  (Get it?  Vain? Vanity? *sigh*)

We think that clears up all past obligations.  For the moment.  Likely a short moment.
