pulling a loose thread and unravelling....

I'm so glad that I still have people who read my blog--thank you for sticking around.  Interesting observation:  it took bloglovin' and feedly about 12 hours to pick up my blogpost.  I'm not certain what's going on with that.

One task has lead to another, very similar to pulling a loose thread and unravelling a sweater. I've figured out where to stop, so I don't end up with a bunch of snarly tangled yarn.

It's the tail end of the long weekend--I have managed to get a lot done, but to my eyes, I am still on the uphill climb.  It seems like nothing has changed.  Sigh.   No sewing this weekend, and no fabric or notions have been de-accessioned.  I managed to wash and clean three of my four windows, inside and out (I can't easily get to the fourth window from the inside or outside). That was a major accomplishment, since the windows have not been cleaned since I moved into the apartment in 2002.   I have learned that when windex doesn't work, white vinegar (undiluted) will do a great job removing hard water stains.  I still have some stains.  My goal is progress, not perfection.


I've washed and painted one wall of my bedroom a different shade of white.  It's the smallest wall with the lowest ceiling but the room does look a little brighter.  I'm considering re-arranging my bedroom furniture.  I've been reading some fengshui books at bed time--and there are some fun concepts in there. I still have lots of boxes and cartons in an around my apartment. So that might be a project for next weekend
