Mission Accomplished...

Mostly. I still have to clear out the closet, which thankfully won't be too bad. We'll do that on Saturday. 

For now, Jan will sleep comfortably in my farmhouse bed. No more camping out on the living room sofa. She laid down on my bed after it was made, and the look of pure bliss crossed her face. I knew this was all worth the effort.

I got most of my studio sorted, but I'll handle the rest later. I'm a little lot tired from everything we did yesterday. I need a break from decision making and hauling. Handsome and Jan are going to load books and other donated items to take to St. Vinnie's while I sloth a bit.

Today, we're going to can beef stew/pot pie jars for the pantry. Everything is ready to go, and I'll teach her about pressure canning. It'll be fun. 

No work tonight, so my plan is to make dinner, eat, and then put my feet up. Heck, I may even indulge in a small adult beverage. It's been a week, and I'll be ready to kick out of gear and enjoy the fruits of our labor. Done and Done!

Work. Work...

All work and no play today. Too much of what came out of the fabric room migrated into my sewing room. Today, things will be dealt with. 

Thankfully, I don't work again until Monday. Lots of home time to complete the pack/purge/move, and the sooner we finish, the sooner we rest. 

Time for my morning cuppa, and then "watch me now". We'll "work it out baby"! See you tomorrow. (Enjoy the new ear worm!)

 

Feed The Birds...

I feed the birds year round, so I think this is great information.

Yesterday, I asked Handsome to stand near the back door and watch as I did my daily feeder refill. You see, every time I stand under the old Apple tree to put birdseed into the feeders, I repeat "chickadee dee dee". Soon after, a wee chickadee flutters onto a branch above me and returns its call. 

Yesterday, two landed, chirping close enough for me to touch them. It really is magical! Handsome admitted that if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he may not have believed it. 

I'll be adding some of these treats to their feeders this winter. 

In other news - Jan and I have all the shelves and fabric downstairs as planned. (Whew!) Next, I'll fill nail holes and spot paint the fabric room which will become Jan's bedroom. 

Some of my needlework supplies will remain in her room, but we'll clean out the closet, and I'll work on the integrated studio space to make sure we can get her bed out of the attic (which will have to pass through that room. That will happen tomorrow and Friday because I don't work again until Friday night. We'll really make some progress, beginning when I get home from work today!

See you tomorrow!
