Gray Clouds

Intermittent gray clouds shoving the sunshine out.  It was expected.

Dennis and I both slept hard last night.  Dennis doing a bit in the garages allowing for things that will change once there is ice and snow being drug in on the tires.  I had chased lint and dust bunnies on the first floor with our little shop vacuum.  Even the Swiffer pads do not pick up the fine lint as well as that vacuum.  We have a second such vacuum in the garage.  Dennis made sure we had two replacement filters on hand.  The wand is long enough that I can shove the attachment that is on the wand far enough under the beds to reach the far walls . . . bend and stretch.  Each of the rooms were tidied.  I did not get to dusting the flat surfaces in the living room.  I saved that for another day.  Dennis’ bedding was swapped out yesterday as was mine.  It was a lot of activity along with all that the day had entailed on its own.

This afternoon I had quite a bit for the recycling bin as I had been in the studio.  Having a printer in the studio, I had accumulated many stitching and quilting patterns that I would see on various sites.  Hit the little black button and the patterns were there for possible future projects.  Reality does hit home.  As the quilt tops I sew are donated to our church, I don’t vary the log cabin design other than the colorways.  Been there and done the challenging patterns.  

My hand stitching is a rather complicated one.  Lots of little dots in black and white on the paper pattern.  There too, I don’t save the patterns of that that has been finished.  I know I will not repeat them.

The week poses no appointments for us, always a good thing.

With that I will take my leave.  ♥
