Clean-up

The renovation Gods do not like Hubby and I. We have come to the conclusion that they hate us. Hubby is cursing loudly because he is putting a panel in our bathroom and for some reason he cannot cut a piece of paneling without making a mistake. Measuring seems to be the problem. He says there is something wrong with his measuring tape. I am hiding because I'm afraid that I might get hit with a randomly flying measuring tape or hammer or something.

I'm afraid it is all my fault.... that and Scrooge's fault. It is my fault because I got it into my stupid head this past spring that putting up a 4' x 8' piece of paneling would be easier than cutting a whole pile of tongue and groove boards. This, by all the cursing that's going on, is not true. I am really wishing that back in the spring when we decided on what we wanted on the walls I had stuck with the tried and true tongue and groove wood. It is Scrooge's fault because Christmas is coming and that's always a threat to Hubby because he knows that I will want stuff done to the house to make it look nice for the most dreadful season of the year. Did I say that? Naaaa couldn't be me putting Christmas down!

I didn't go to Knit Night. I pulled out my back moving furniture around... (see above regarding Christmas preparations)! I'm most disgusted because for the next few days I will have to take all kinds of meds to get rid of my bad back while I could be spinning in my newly neatened and tidied studio. Argh! That's not fair... whine, whine, whine...

It was a day to clean up in the office/studio/dining room.

It looks much better now and I can find everything.

I was spinning more cotton... I've really enjoyed spinning on my charkha. I actually have a little ball of ginned cotton done. It is full of stuff like husks and sticks but still it was fun. Now I am working on organic cotton in a natural beige. Lovely. I like to get my hands on some of that lovely green organic cotton and then some say you can get a natural blue cotton... I guess I will have to do an internet search on cottons.

It's snowing again (see the eight inches of snow on the table on "My Deck"??)
and while we had a couple of days to enjoy the winter sunshine, I think this time we will not only get the snow, but the reason that I hate winter so much, that would be the horribly cold temperatures. When it gets to -20 degrees C I want to crawl into a warm bed and hibernate. It is definitely a wintery day here with a wind chill of -18 degrees. Brrr! I'd be perfectly happy with winter days if we could have snow and temperatures of +5 degrees C. But with icicles hanging from the eves on the house and near white out conditions I am happy to be home thinking up things to do for Hubby over the weekend..... maybe I can get him cursing again on the paneling!
