Hidden Gems & Pocket-Size Moments
Yesterday was some other episode of "Bonnie & the Endodontist" - something NO ONE (including me) wants to revisit.
But waiting room time is waiting room fourth dimension and I took that time to flip through the photos on my call up to organize, file, delete...you lot become the film.
And straightaway you lot get the pictures!
I took these photos of this quondam lovely abandoned home on the Cinco de Mayo Grand Prix go that Martha and I enjoyed terminal Th.
Side opinion -
I wishing I could rescue and restore them all! I bet the diamond pattern underneath roof summit was merely lovely at i fourth dimension -
And sure the moss dark-green shutters were the perfect accent to the white outside of the household.
I can envision gentle breezes wafting curtains from open windows on the inside, letting in the fresh bound air too clearing out the terminal of the closed-upward wintertime stuffiness of fireplace warmed spaces.
As happens all around hither - it'second the LAND that holds the value, non the dilapidated former farm houses. The state is notwithstanding being farmed.
And I console myself that the country has non been turned over into subdivisions alongside gated entries together with HOAs. There is that.
This happened final even upon returning from the endodontist -
I posted earlier virtually taking the blinds downwardly too giving them a practiced power wash. What I didn't cite is before they were to get back upwards, the underside where they hang received a novel coat of pigment.
We are sprucing upward for porch flavour! (And it is supposed to be common cold too rainy this weekend, simply oh good - eventually it volition live porch flavor!)
The blinds were rehung terminal night - Today housekeeper Susan comes and nosotros'll pass today together with tomorrow getting everything spit topographic point for the Muddy Creek Misfits arriving on Midweek.
While flowers for Mother'second Day are prissy for a few days until they are gone, this form of help is ane that keeps on giving too I am so grateful for fifty-fifty the piffling things that are done every day to go on this dream of ours running.
Doesn't look similar much - but and then helpful!
This is the back side of the door to the attic expire-through from the inside of chamber #five.
Things aren't level - and this door would never rest close, then at that place was a slide lock on the other side of the door to continue it unopen -
But it never failed - I'd live on the forepart side of the menage too want to use the pass away through to become to the dorsum side through hither, but then - the door would be locked on the other side. (Which meant going down i ready of stairs, across the whole family, up the dorsum fix of stairs to unlock it from the other side.)
A simple door bound solved the job inwards x minutes. YAY!
No more than take to lock that door, too it will automatically shut thanks to the leap.
It really is the unproblematic things in life that make the biggest divergence, correct?

We already talked virtually not talking near this.
Enough said -
Next upwardly is a crown. UGH.
But this is the best affair from yesterday!

A high schoolhouse friend of mine (We were inwards schoolhouse together 43 years ago!) reached out via Facebook messenger regarding the higher up string star progress photo as well as said she wants to brand quilts. She has made over 1500 masks in addition to has lots of scraps.
I suggested she attempt something unproblematic to get alongside - but I'm non sure which pattern to outset with.
I thought something amongst triangles would not live the best matter - so I asked what was the average size of her leftover mask scraps so I tin get a feel for what she is working alongside.
I was thinking of Bitcoin to beginning with, because equally long equally her seam allowance is consistent, everything will fall together swimmingly.
And similar I said - I wished I lived shut (She is inward California) and so I could merely pop by as well as show her.
Today - Friend Martha is popping by for more Accuquilt strip cut.

This quilt is kind of set out like a good planned garden, isn't it?
And perchance once this 1 is finished beingness written - it will live only perfect for my friend to start with as it is all slowly piecing, no triangles.
Be watching for this blueprint free in addition to gift-away to pass on Mon, May 16th!
