We want some hardscape work done outside, but we don't know when the contractor will be available.

Wireless - yipee!<br />My spring projects are moving slowly. I'm purging closets (painfully slow) and working in the garden (on the rare good day). Afraid I lost my patience, bought the first white geraniums I found, kept them inside on the sun porch for two weeks, then potted them on a sunny Sunday that was in the 80s. Mother Nature didn't like that move and sent freezing temps back down to the 20s. Even though I covered things, they don't look too keen anymore.

I am planning on painting my bedroom, but waiting until the windows can be opened, still too cold at present, and we need to get rid of all this snow.

I know how lovely it is where you live and I'd be right there next door to you - or my long time friends who live in Sudden Valley - if only I could. I'd be over tea often - you might even get tired of me - but I'd bring homemade French cakes, English biscuits and other goodies……….if you put the kettle on!!<br /><br />Hugs - Mary<br /><br />P.S. I was reading the part of your book available on Amazon……….I've added it to my Wish List as I want to read it all! My painter lived in Alaska for 5 years - farmed and raised 3 children there way out south of Fairbanks. I was telling him about your life there and, like you, they had no mod-cons. When he brought the kids back to the lower 48 they saw light switches and flush toilets for the first time!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-76692838773189436762014-03-06T20:26:31.628-05:002014-03-06T20:26:31.628-05:00Oh your room will be wonderful - I can't wait ...Oh your room will be wonderful - I can't wait to see it all in place. My spring projects you ask? Mine? Oh you mean I'm supposed to have some spring projects? Hee Hee - nope - not a one.. Well our house is less than 10 years old and we put in new carpet when we bought it 6 years ago so that is done - and our son-in-law built us a deck three summers ago so most everything is done that needs done. Just a little spring decorating and when the time comes, some pretty plants on the deck - that's about it for my spring. This gives me lots of time for crocheting and sitting on the deck drinking tea with the neighbors that happen to stop by - ahhhh I adore spring - and then comes summer - almost perfect here on the northwest coast - warm, sunny, not much rain, no mosquitoes and no hot weather - ahhhhh summer.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-147763395026951192014-03-06T19:41:42.013-05:002014-03-06T19:41:42.013-05:00Aren't pictures good to inspire us?

I've thought of selling the whole thing and getting it out of the spare bedroom but haven't yet. I'm just not a seamstress and someone else may as well enjoy it. It makes a great storage cabinet though. :) I think your inspiration photo is a good place to start. Looks like things are coming along nicely. There are no projects going on here at all. Waiting for snow to melt. It may get up to +2C (34F) tomorrow and Saturday! After a week of -5 to -10 C it will be very welcome. I hope you have a good weekend and get to enjoy the warmer temperatures.Pamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-72681677627909887882014-03-06T17:31:11.995-05:002014-03-06T17:31:11.995-05:00Looking forward to seeing how you put the finishin...Looking forward to seeing how you put the finishing details on your room. Your framed photos will be a great addition and give real personality to your room. <br />I'm needing to get going on my projects. There are so many things I want to do - guess I should just focus on one room and get it done, then move on.

Your framed travel pictures will be wonderful in there. I am kind of stuck in a rut, both with blogging and decorating. I think I have the winter blues.

You have obviously gone for a complete 'make over' and we are certain that you will have enormous fun arranging the room as you wish. Once the carpet is down, then of course you can afford to take your time. And how wonderful to be rid of 'wires' everywhere. We shall look forward to progress posts!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
