spring cleaning

I did some spring cleaning.

Two windows....whoo hoo!!!

Every little bit helps over here!

I never tackle the whole house in one day!

These two clean windows will keep me satisfied

for a while....especially since these windows

are in the BOY's room.

You know what boys are like?

I took the curtains down to wash.

WOW!

What a difference sunshine makes!!

I can now see the quilt that lives in here.

I made this one last year...long enough to cover

my 6 foot plus son.

Can you see all that light?

I'll hang it so you can admire it without the glare.

This one was super simple.

A bunch of 5" squares sewn into 4 patches.

black sashing that is not cotton.

I bought the black on sale at a discount place.

(about $1 - $2 a yard).

It's kind of like that fabric that you use for uniforms

that never wears out!!

I wondered how it work in this quilt.

And guess what?

It's great!

I've washed it a few times and it comes out just right.

See?

It pays to save money and experiment!

Now.....here's the reality of teenage boys.....

Other than the fact that they never let the

Sunshine in!

Dirty socks!!!!

I'm off to do laundry and vacuum dog hair.

But.....somebody loves those socks. :)
