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.

Snowman Snowflakes...

These are the sweet snowman snowflake ornaments we made Saturday. Jan and I had already left by the time everyone was finished, but Marie sent pictures so we could see theirs, too.

I'm not sure whose is whose, but I can tell you we all added glitter and color to each one.

This one was mine. We all started with wooden snowflake forms and round slices of wood. We had choices of paint, markers, mod podge, glue, and glitter. Our imaginations took over from there.

Jan did a triple snowflake and attached them to each other with raffia.

I'm guessing these might be Kim's. She loves blues. Even when we use the same materials, they always look unique. Each of our personalities shows through, and I love that.

Back on my 6 am shift today. When I get home, there will be more interior moving. I'm sure sleeping well these nights!
