Slowly but surely

I thought I would have a storm day today to work on my sewing room, but despite the 30 cm of snow and blowing winds, I went to work.    Actually I don’t mind being at work on a stormy day, as most people are nestled home. The phones don’t ring and I manage to accomplish quite a bit.

Putting my sewing room back together however  is not coming along as quickly as I wish.   I spent the weekend cleaning out the room.   Our house has original hardwood floors, which are beautiful, but dust collectors. 

So far I’ve only managed to bring in the rocking chair and a few quilts.  I pinned a length of batting  to the wall to use as a design board.  My talented daughter Andrea made the cover on the ironing board.

I was so sure I would be home today, I put a pot of peas and one of beans to soak last night.   This evening there is a pot of split pea soup boiling on the stove and a crock of bean baking in the oven.
