Whether the weather will....

We have had quite the week weather-wise.  Winds, rain, hail, frosts and tornado warnings.  Another tornado warning last night but it turned out to be mostly an electrical storm for us.  phew.


Yesterday I got a good day in the yard.  My dearies is slightly stressed as he now realizes we have 3 unfinished projects.  As I quilter with untold UFO's I am not understanding his angst!  LOL
While he is finishing up the 'grocery store' I am seeing how the Mayor's wife would be arranging her stuff!  


My 'Mayor's house' in our wee 'village ' was originally to house the riding lawnmower even though it was to be my she shed!   Well, lets renegotiate.

           
 My son in law painted it up for me.  He went around the bird's nest and I am glad they have flown the coop because they were making a mess of my floor! 

 We got 2 small windows that actually give more light than the initial window we'd got on buy and sell and are better proportioned. 


oh boy,  I wonder is I could negotiate a bump out???  Form is pushing function around but I am kinda excited about it all!

Things are looking good.  I think the Mayor's wife is gonna be pleased.  Mayor kept banging his head on the hanging basket so that needs to be re-positioned.  But things are looking good in the village.  We won't mention the gardens!  😒

Whats done, is almost done!

Sort of. Because February and looks like March are spring cleaning/house decor months, I wanted to wrap up all the Paris odds and ends. The blocks for the Paris lap quilt are finally done.   Then I waited for my design wall to arrive. Oh, I was so happy to set it up.  3 panels of notched styrofoam 2' x 8'.  Perfect!  Of course I had to make another 10 of the four patch blocks.  But I think it is looking good.  But I have loads of spare blocks.  I don't really want it bigger so maybe some for the backing and some for my traveling companion!  I hate when this happens but I really thought I had the math figured this time!  grrrr Same time the panels arrived hubby also came home with my box for my journal.  ooh, bright red and kinda big???  I can get creative and I do have stuff that didn't fit in the journal.  I gessoed, painted, and crackled. In between listening to my dear supervisor plan the spring cleaning, and YES, I am eternally thankful for

There is always something...

                                                       I am happy with the layout of my playroom.  The traffic patterns work.  I have the supplies in their corresponding areas.   The new book confirms I am doing things right.   There is a section on keeping track of UFOs and Wips that I can try. But... I am incredibly cramped in my morning journal corner.  I don't mind working in a small area but not when I have to put my journal on top of my 'other' journal it is too cramped.   So.... I am happy to back to working on this desk which I had used before I changed everything.  I had to sacrifice a book case because of the depth but downsizing is good!  I also gained a second narrow shelf and a light.  I switched the small portable table with the desk. This makes more sense as it is my handwork corner and isn't usually busy.  It opens up the design wall more and if I need that portable table for a workshop/retreat it won't take half a day to clear the stuff off!  🙋

Harvesting the Last of Summer

Image
Summer is sending leaves drifting down to carpet the grass.  Dustings of frost now dull the colours.  All too soon  the coverings will be deeper and whiter as the drifts reshape the landscape. But I am getting ahead of myself.  Three cheers for the hope of a long and glorious fall!  I DO hope! The trees are changing colour and dropping their leaves.  This is the mixed trees at the back edge of the property which has only made it a future to-do list.  Interesting though as it has spruce, pines, lilacs, carraganas and some amur maples among  others in it.  We have been working on the poison ivy and clearing out deadfall in the woodlot at the front edge of the property.  Now doesn't that sound better than 'the bush'! The garden has been harvested except for some of the root crops and as the soup list fills then that too will be ready for tilling.  That grape is in a low spot and shall be moved.  My Man now 'gets' that relocating plants and shrubs is part of gardening.
