Seasons of Creativity

Another sampling of life in Sundown! We are creating a village! We need a few sheds to accommodate some of our stuff and a few of our enterprises. One shed was built first year, the garden shed. Some garden stuff but lots of other stuff.  One couldn't walk in very far.  It was to house riding lawn mower but with cleaning out the garage it can now go there. This is the Mayor's manor and will be the yellow area of my garden.   Its my potting/garden shed but I am really getting excited about fixing it up when my Builder gets his own shed done.  I have a lovely thrifted window and door and plans for white paint in the interior.    The Mayor's wife likes to garden (and decorate) so she already has a plan to shield the 'back lane' from view.  Gooseberries! The 'Mayor's hobby will be a bird house building so I will be putting some fence posts in this garden.  Fate- I already found the birdhouses! The Supply store/yar...

I am really, really, Really,  ready to do Spring. The playroom switcheroo turned out to be more than I expected but I am very pleased.   The pale green yardage hanging down from drawers is kinda flimsy for quilting but will make a nice curtain over the garment sewing bookshelf.  (I am having a hard time to convince my handy man to centre that odd shaped mirror over my big table.  It is unfortunately hard to hang considering I have it hung contrary to the approved orientation. vbsigh) Then I decided to quiet the naggy voice that said I had never really purged those drawers and only reloaded them when we moved.  Age plus experience equals smarter.  So I embraced reality and pitched lots of those what if's and I coulds...  Very gratifying.  This photo doesn't show all the fat quarters but do please notice there is room for them and they aren't overwhelming.  I also have a miscellaneous shelf!  Whoo hoo!  The drawers ...

It appears I followed a rabbit trail.  And not Alice's White Rabbit but the Black Rabbit from Watership Down!  Maybe I shoulda followed the Yellow Brick Road! It began when I wanted to quilt the Paris quilt.  It took a while to find the toile fabric that I knew I had. It was lurking behind the design wall which needed shifting to the side.  Then I needed a place to baste everything together.  Moving Nina closer to the design wall placed her smack in the middle of my big table.  What to do??? Enter the Rabbit!  I could switch fabric rack/design wall and the big table.  This would put Nina back in a corner and still near the design wall!   But only one bakers rack has wheels so I uploaded all the fabric on the table to accomplish the switch. Easy!  I pushed and shoved and repositioned.  Drat, my Dearie wants to know when we are going to bed.  I just started! And it is not so easy to put the fabric stacks back!...
