Spring Fever

It is GORGEOUS outside!!! It is mid-50's out there and sunny! Ahhhh, I forgot how much I love to air out the house....Especially after having my house filled with this.....Bye, Bye all you flu germs!! And if the airing out does not quite do it, I pulled in reinforcements!!!Not my usual, environmentally safe, health friendly cleaners, but drastic times call for drastic measures. Poor Kyle was sick from 5:30 pm til 4:30 am. the other night. We were both up all night. At bedtime last night, Charlotte came down with it, but was no where as severe as me or Kyle. She is on the mend already and slept through the night. Prayerfully, we are done with this. Sweetheart and Zach seem unscathed. Today, Sweetheart is taking the opportunity to clean out his garage.Look at all the salt on the floor from the vehicles....
He will have it in tip top shape in no time. His basement is coming along great. He is to the first stage of mudding. The door way he created around that stubborn pipe looks fantastic!! He jutted the opposite side and now will not need to lose an entire wall to the built ins he had planned.
I have spent my day cleaning. It was baaaaad. Did not look all that bad, but I knew where all the dirt was. All surfaces got de-germed. My little table topper is perfect for the center of the table. Still not thrilled with what is on it, so I know that will change.Speaking of surfaces, this little desk was covered in papers and junk. It seemed a catch-all over the last few days. I cleaned it up and even emptied the pencil sharpener, which had not been working great. I guess that happens when you do not empty it when it is full....hmmmm.While we were all sick, we just laid around watching movies like this one....Too cute!!! And I have the vine almost completed on the Underground Railroad quilt. I am thinking all homespun flowers...I am excited to see this top ready to quilt. It has been a long time coming.
Mary asked everyone, "What is on your ironing board?" Well mine is loaded down with 1/2 square triangles.....Next will be square in a square sections and finally the end block assembly. I bought the silver pad for my board and am loving it. It does not fit, so I just lay it on top, but it does the trick. My iron does not get really hot and the silver reflects the heat back up. Perfect for pressing seams. What is on your ironing board?
I am off to do more laundry and enjoy another cracked window. Tomorrow will, again, be only a high of 30 something, so today is the day to enjoy!!
