I have been running like a hamster on a treadmill the past couple of days. Relatives are visiting this week. Unexpected. For most folks this would mean simply readying the guest room. For us it was a slightly larger project - given the fact that we did not, at that point, have a usable guest room !
All of the components were there - but it was a huge amount of work. ...and I really wanted to be felting and sewing rather than toting and cleaning. I decided that I would view this work as a blessing in disguise --- and indeed it was. Where there was chaos, there is now a bright, cheerful room. We still have a long way to go in the house - and have been planning a "re-do" for some time. At least for now, however, one more room is a peaceful haven - leaving two more to be sifted through and rendered light.
The photo above is a peaceful view of an area at the southern end of our island. The photo below is how I thought of my cleaning sojourn the last couple of days. I get to go fondle wool for a few hours today - helping out in a friend's store ! That WON'T seem like work !
