Due to some odd circumstances, I don't want to put this quilt on my quilting blog. But I still want a record of it.
It is a bee quilt, which means many people made a block (or two), sent them to me, and I put them together and quilted them. Sometimes I think other people did well in their fabric choices, but sometimes I'm not thrilled. It's the nature of the bee.
Today I finished the cleaning of the master bedroom! Just in time for summer vacation.
Since the furniture got moved around I can't quite do the same angles like I normally try to do. Instead, here are the before pictures:
And after. We'll also realize I did a few things (like make the bed) to make it look cleaner than normal. Usually there's some not-clean-not-dirty clothes around and a few things on the dresser.
Oh! I didn't get a good picture of the dresser! It is all clean and even has a few flowers on it right now. Well, you can imagine it nice and clean.
I'm going to take a (long? short?) break for the next little bit and try to catch up on some of my other to-do items. I might try to do the laundry room over the summer, but might not.
I have a box problem.
I like to keep an assortment of boxes in the basement, because it's always nice to have "just" the right one. Small, large, thin, cuboid. It means I have a lot of boxes though, and they take up a lot of room. I do think that I go through them relatively quickly though, so I'm not ready to stop my collection yet.
I do get rid of some boxes. I don't keep them all. However, they all get evaluated.
This morning Ben had an efoil lesson today. It was a bit hard to watch him because he was pretty far out on the water, but I got a few pictures and his instructor took a video.
In the afternoon, Isaac and I went with family to see Wicked. I don't remember it at all from the last time I saw it, but it was excellent. Isaac also throughly enjoyed it and laughed several times at the funny things.
Well, I was on-track with getting the to-do list under control before camping, but now it exploded a bit again. It isn't really surprising since camping does take a lot of time on either end, but it's still a bit annoying.
I'm also doing a really good job at growing these plants. I know some are thistles, but what are the others? Any chance they're something interesting?
I got Ben's photos from the weekend:
Yesterday I worked more on my puzzle. It was at a really weird stage where there were only three (out of about one hundred) pieces that wouldn't fit in, but I still only had a success rate of 20% in the afternoon. I worked on it a bit more with Isaac after dinner and we had better luck, so I should be able to finish it tomorrow. (Spoiler: I did)
