Today I convey ane to a greater extent than fridge to empty out, clean, as well as plough off. I'm embarrassed to tell nosotros convey iii refrigerators. This fridge collection of ours started out innocently enough. There was a fridge hither when nosotros moved in, as well as nosotros brought some other from our previous home. So...one fridge inwards the kitchen, as well as nosotros seat ours inwards the laundry room, which is only off the kitchen. I've e'er used it similar a refrigerated pantry.
Then, I hated the fridge inwards the kitchen because it was likewise small, as well as it was a side-by-side (which was invented past times the devil, I'm sure). The freezer was some iii inches wide...just barely broad plenty for me to fit my paw through the door. So, ane Christmas Mike bought the fridge of my dreams...one of those ones alongside French doors as well as the freezer on the bottom. It replaced the hated side-by-side inwards the kitchen, as well as the kitchen fridge was moved out to the garage. Mike kept mutual coldness beverages inwards it for when he was out working inwards the yard.
And then, nosotros remodeled our kitchen, which meant a unlike fridge because nosotros wanted it to tally the balance of the stainless steel appliances. (I was willing to maintain the sometime one, but Mike was the ane who insisted that it tally the rest.) So the fridge alongside the French doors got moved to the garage, where the master fridge had stopped working past times that time. And at that topographic point you lot go. It's a picayune similar starting novel projects inwards the sewing room. It starts out innocently enough, as well as and then earlier you lot know it, you're similar me...with 25 WIP's on your list, fifty-fifty afterwards you've finished 32 quilts inwards a unmarried year. If you've enjoyed this journeying through the refrigerators of time, as well as then I give thank you lot you for your service. Only a truthful friend would read this far.
So inwards betwixt packing as well as cleaning, I've been working away at the starting fourth dimension Snowflake. Like slow-stitching crack, it's honestly been hard to seat it down. I can't hold off to larn to the beading part.
This is where I left off this morning. I only demand to complete those swirly-cues about the outer edge, as well as and then I'll add together a tiny H2O ice bluish pearl where each picayune circle appears.
So that's pretty much where it's been the past times twosome of days: packing, cleaning, slow-stitching. More today, as well as and then we're out of hither inwards the morning. And honestly, I really, really, actually am non going to postal service tomorrow or the side past times side day. We'll endure on the road, as well as I'm coming together upwards alongside a friend inwards Medford for breakfast on Mon morning. The soonest I'll endure dorsum volition endure Tuesday, as well as and then entirely if nosotros convey cyberspace access. It'll endure proficient to endure on our way. We're hoping proficient conditions continues because it tin endure dicey getting through the Siskiyous. Fingers crossed.
