Odd jobs

 Every now and then my quilting space serves another purpose. Craftroom when the ladies are here, storageroom for plants that need to move for a short while, and a place to put your tools when doing odd jobs.

My space is separated from the livingroom with a sliding door. The railing is covered by wooden boards. We renewed those 2 years ago and they were still not painted…

Yesterday I painted the first layer outside, but now, with frequent showers, I moved indoors.

Opened the window in my room en closed the sliding door to reduce paint smells. Don’t you hate it that you have to wait hours and hours before you can add the next layer of paint? 

Ah well, I better use those hours to quilt then. On the sofa ofcourse…..

Reporting back for duty :)

 What a summer is was! Blazing hot, extremely dry. Certainly nót the weather in which I thrive…..and absolutely not suitable temperatures to quilt.

The  5 and 6 year old ladies came to stay for a couple of nights, at the beginning of the summer holidays and came back with their 2 year old sister, at the end of it. Ofcourse, they completely took over my sewingroom. The 5 year old had fun in decorating the design wall with meticulously cut out little pieces of paper.

Bigger artwork had to be displayed too, ofcourse!

But now that autumn is descending and thunderstorms bring the much needed water, temperatures going down to a much better 21 C , I háve to go back to quilting. I only finished 1 GrannySquare; I have one more to quilt and a third ….you can see some blocks for that scattered amongst the artwork….

So I picked up where I left,

…working my way to the fav block ( pink ánd unicorns, I couldn’t go wrong here)

End of an era…..
