Today

I'm hanging out down here....

after I get everyone out the door.

after I go to zumba and women on weights,

after I shower,

after I do a quick clean up of the top level.

It's Tuesday after all...

Get it?

T-

Tuesday-

Top Level.

I'm trying so hard to work on this "clean" thing for 2011.

I could clean all day with this crew.

Anyway,

I'm not going to spend the day cleaning.

I'll be in my little paradise,

With my sewing machine...

We have a love/hate relationship.

I love to make things.

I hate to deal with the mechanics of making things.

The bobbin is my worst nightmare.

I've affectionately named my machine "the beast"

I think it needs a tune-up.

The cost of a tune-up is about what I paid for my sewing machine...

so...

it may be time for a new sewing machine.

I'm working on new pillows for the canoe.

They look pretty good here,

but not so much after a long Winter of fort building...

Under the pillows is a trap door.

The fascination of all neighborhood children.

The trap door leads to a 2x2 box to hide in.

Really it was for storing extra blankets and things.

Not anymore! :)

Wish me luck with the beast,
