Done and Dusted

 

Literally dusted. I spent yesterday removing Christmas and cleaning up the aftermath. The tree is back in the holiday closet and the spinning wheels are all back where they belong but in need of some attention. The drive bands slipped off with all the moving. Adjustments need to be made.

I did all this very early in the morning while the house was quiet, meaning The Mister was still asleep. I took the time to organize the ornaments this year although this box doesn't look like it. It's my star and soft ornament box. Daughter gives me a star or a snowflake every year. I have a lot of them.

The glass ornaments are all wrapped in tissue and tucked away in these boxes. 

Now I can get to this again. I hate this project btw. I can't wait to get it off the loom. I've ordered a new kit that should be here soon. It's for a dishtowel. It seems to be what I do best and I need something to bring the joy back to weaving. 

The sewing room got a good cleaning after I cleared everything out. I can get back to the Color Wash blocks now also. 

The heap of stuff that was on Dear Jane is gone so I can work on her again but not today. Today I've got a sweater to assemble. The Mister's Riddari sleeves are done so while he's busy with football I'm going to lock myself in the sewing room and have a good think. Putting those sleeves with the body always makes me a bit crazy. It doesn't make sense but somehow it works as long as I can get my brain in the right "zone".
