houses
My statement yesterday (that we were about 1/2 the way done with the houses) made me wonder today if that is true. The drawing shows the 2 houses with the rooms blacked in that we are through with and an X in the rooms we will still be painting as we move into them. The rooms that are blank probably won't be getting a new paint job as we move in to them.
I had originally thought I would get started painting at the crack of dawn today and get at least one coat of paint on the new bedroom but after I got over there I saw too much to still clean up. The windows are filthy and the whole room needs a good cleaning before I can paint. The boys still have more boxes to get out that somehow last night I didn't notice. ANYway, today was our art group retreat day - all day hanging out, bringing food to share and I decided to go to that instead. I cleaned 2 windows and swept the ceilings and walls and went to retreat for the day. Berdella had machine sewn the binding on my quilt for me and I spent the day doing the finishing touches of hand sewing the edge of the binding to the underside of the quilt. One more instance of learning that quilting is not for me. I do not have the patience to do a project that takes so long. I spent 5 hours hand sewing and only got half way done. Wow! The time and effort that quilters put into their quilts! Amazing. Thank goodness I have a friend (Berdella) who was so generous with her time to help me in so many ways so I could have a quilt that I designed myself. Soon, soon! It will be done (just 5 more hours of hand sewing) and it will be finished. Can't wait to show photos of it on the bed in the new bedroom. Going to go over there right now and get back to work on that room so all that can happen...
