Imaginary Daffodils

 It had been my intent to post some photos of lovely clumps of daffodils, but Mother Nature did not cooperate. So, imagine if you will some bright, happy daffodils kissed by raindrops since the weather continues to be wet. Today’s springtime temperature is a balmy 37 degrees. :-(

I had planned to post yesterday to discuss all that I had worked on during the week. Big Finish! Late Saturday night I put in the last stitches on “Un Jour a Paris en Hiver” which I began back in March of 2024. Michael’s had a 70% off custom framing special. Yesterday was the last day of the sale, and I was determined to take advantage of it. It will be ready in two weeks.

The Joys of Home Ownership - Another chapter . . . a photo to strike fear in the heart of any homeowner. . . 

Yes, a few days ago,  I glanced up at my living room ceiling to see a yardstick length water stain right down the middle.  There was no water dripping, just the stain. The plumber came and was baffled as to where the water was coming from. I had had the roof replaced a year ago, so that wasn’t the problem. No problems in the attic or signs of trouble in the room above the stain. Finally, he found what he thinks is the problem, the dial in my tub/shower. Fingers crossed, he will be able to fix the problem without having to cut an access hole in the upstairs hallway behind the bathroom. If that’s not it, worse case scenario, he will have to open up the living room ceiling to see if there is a problem with a pipe. In any event, the living room and the ceiling will have to be painted. I’m hoping I’m on the plumber’s schedule for tomorrow which will mean missing a guild meeting.

So, what did I accomplish last week? I prepared the sleeve and binding for a quilt just back from the longarmer. I added borders to two quilt which will be donated when finished. I prepped four small quilts to work on later this month at a retreat,  and I stitched steadily on the cross stitch piece that was dropped off to be framed.

 I hope I’m as productive this week as I was last week, and I also hope that I don’t end up with any holes in my wall or ceiling!!!

Have a good week.
