State of Affairs

(the tied quilt on the end of the bed was made  for our older son
when he was four or five -- my first attempt at quilt making)

The quilts that are normally stored 

in our bedroom on two rolling metal shelf units 

have been relocated to the guest room upstairs until

the pending bathroom renovations are completed.

(we're still waiting on a third estimate)

There are six of the large totes

with the overflow quilts piled on top.

Maybe I need to do some editing

when these come back downstairs . . . 

For those who wanted to see the second iteration

of DH's latest woodturning series -

this is Crop Circles.

We both like this one a lot -

so much so that it now hangs above the mantel.

(elder son may take Learning Curve

for his office at the hospital)

And for those who are curious, here's a photo

showing part of DH's studio/workshop.

(he cleans up the shavings daily if not more often,

so I had to be quick to get this photo)

This lathe was his retirement gift to himself -- 

it's a serious upgrade from the one he started with 15 years ago.

And yes, since I'm sharing so many 

not-quilting photos, you would be correct 

if you guess that I'm sick again.

This time it started with a head cold

and has shifted to my not having any voice.

And then there is the cough.

Clearly my immune system needs some TLC.

In happier news, Little Man (who is now 2-1/2)

is finding out that the playground 

is even more fun than it was last year.

He mastered this kind of climbing ladder

after only a few attempts.

And he conquered the zoo's playground wall

that eluded him all last summer.

(his 1-1/2 year old legs weren't 

quite long enough for this one)

Go Little Man, Go!!

(but please don't go too fast . . . )
