I'm Tired...

Jan and I have been busy, but between my fabric and her possessions, we have a lot of stuff!

We are making progress, and have our eyes set on the weekend for mostly being done. She'll be sleeping in her own room by Sunday night. 

I'm bringing my favorite farmhouse bed out of storage for her, and the bonus is when she's ready to move on, I'll have my guest room setup all situated.

I work this one more Friday day shift, and then I'm finished with that for the foreseeable future. I'm continuing Wednesdays for the next two week schedule, and then I'm going back to my early morning Mondays and Tuesdays, plus Friday nights taking phone orders for food, and making sure those orders go out correctly. I'm looking forward to it.

I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel, but (yikes!) the tunnel is buried under a mountain of fabric and rivers of threads right now. Pray for me.

 

I'm Really Working On It...

As soon as the fabric room "reset" is accomplished, I'm going to make purge lists to tackle things that take up physical and head space on our home.

I do need to do a few needlework pieces, too. I have a birthday gift to make, and I want to start planning my winter Goldfinch piece. My fingers are itching to ply needle and thread again.

I'm not working at the station today, so I'll be moving fabric again. I know my muscles will thank me when we finally finish this. It's during these times my body reminds my mind I'm not as young as I'd like to think I am. Thank goodness my little sister has the strength and endurance of the younger woman she is. 

Coffee and a snack and then we'll be back upstairs moving and grooving. 

Resident Sourdough Baker...

Lucky us!! We now have a fabulous sourdough baker living in the farmhouse. She made this gorgeous loaf over the weekend.

Waking up to the aroma of bread baking (when I wasn't the one making it) is a wonderful experience indeed. Even better was cutting into a slightly warm loaf to eat with our morning coffee. We could get used to being spoiled like this!!

We're still emptying out my fabric studio. It's a long process when you're ten years older than when we moved in. My plans to have it turned into a bedroom by Wednesday (today) were interrupted by three days of work, so we're changing our target date to this weekend. We'll be back at it when I get home from work around 2:30 today.

One thing is certain. I sure do sleep well. (Sometimes in the afternoon.) I know Jan will be happy when we're done, but so will I. I'm looking forward to just enjoying her company again.
