The cold the weather guessers said was coming? It came. Yesterday, Quinn and I got up to a thin layer of sleet on everything outside and temperatures well below normal-like 25degrees below normal! Today is cold as well but I don't mind-more time to read and sew!
I spent two days finishing up all the things I needed to do to be ready for cold weather over the weekend-finially finishing on Monday with a little painting outside. Now I only need to fill my truck up with gas and buy some more ice melt and I'll be set. I'll probably add some groceries to the house later this week but I'm pretty good there as well.
I've decided to spend no more than one hour every day cleaning house! I had let things get to a mess while painting etc and it's taking a bit to get it back in shape. By limiting the time I have to spend at it I actually DO it! What can I say works for me. I do have a "Suffer for 15" minutes clean up going on in the garage but again by limiting the time I spend at it I actually DO it-it will be nice to be able to find things on my workbench.
I finally got all the roofing wood off the doll house. Spent hours scraping, pulling staples, and trying various solvents to take the glue off only to discover as a last resort that the glue was water based! A wet paper towel covered by a plastic grocery bag and it peeled off easily! This is the second time I've fought with removing glue only to discover that it was water based, hopefully the next time I'm confronted with old glue I'll think to try water first!
I've nearly finished all three secret tops, one is being hand quilted and the other two will be machine quilted in the ditch. Looks like I'll make my deadlines easily! That means I've had more time for cross-stitching. I'll post progress on that later today.
Life is good!
