Deep cleaning

The last few days have been busy and interesting. On Saturday, I drove up to daughter Alison's house and we sorted, packed, deep cleaned, and reorganized one room. We worked for about six and a half hours, and we were very pleased with what we accomplished!

It takes about an hour and 40 minutes to drive to Alison's, so I truly had no energy left for tatting when I arrived home!

On Sunday morning my brother came to visit. He usually visits about every other week. While we were talking and drinking coffee, I worked on a Dorset button. When I finished, I went to set it on the table next to my chair. Somehow, I lost my grip and the button went flying. I still haven't found it!

After David left, Mom and I watched an episode of The Mountain Detective. There's no crafting while watching this show. It's in French, so reading the English captions is a must. I think that's a good thing, because the scenery is fantastic!


I did look again for the Dorset button, not very long or hard, but I did look! I finally gave up looking and just made another.

I really dislike the time change. It will take me several days to adjust. I feel so tired after dinner that I just don't feel like doing anything. So, one Dorset button is all I have to show for Sunday.

Today was dentist day. After getting my teeth cleaned, I loaded up the car with things that Mom and I decided we didn't want any longer and headed off to Goodwill. Then, I headed in to school. I did a little reading this afternoon, and Mom and I watched a little t.v. 

Dave will be in for dinner soon. Then I'm going to do my best to stay awake until 9 p.m. We'll just have to wait and see if I have any energy left for tatting!

  1. You stay so busy and get so much accomplished. With the time changes, I always take several days to readjust. Your flying buyyon will appear when you least expect it. I really like you 10 spoke Dorset button with the tatting surrounding it. Beautiful.

    1. Haha! Dave and I glance around every now and then... the button flew in the direction of his chair. We always tear everything apart when we get ready for Christmas, so I'm sure we'll find it soon!

  2. I hope you don’t have to deep clean that room to find the button! I’m glad we don’t have clock changing here, I can’t see the logic of it at all.

    1. We usually deep clean the living room right before Christmas, and then do a quick clean up after the holidays. That button is bound to show up sooner or later! I can't see any logic in clock changing either. I wish they'd get rid of it!

  3. Such a pity you lost that button! It ought to turn up when you clean the room, just be careful with the vacuum cleaner if you use one.
    I feel the same about daylight change, i have been a zombie all week, despite getting enough sleep. There have been talks here and there to stop the clock changes, but still not yet.
