And yet---I find great satisfaction in my little creations.

That reminds me, I have to attend to mine. The curtains turned out so pretty and I love those Amish porch chairs. Well-done on the cushions, too. Your fresh veggies look so delicious. Your house guests must have surely enjoyed their stay. x KarenKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-25656481023191276552017-07-06T21:49:17.479-04:002017-07-06T21:49:17.479-04:00Lillian; My 'housekeeping' is inconsistent...Lillian; My 'housekeeping' is inconsistent--I get things clean and tidy and it takes such a short time for me to become 'untidy!'<br />I'm pleased with the cushions, although I added the ties on the first bottom one as an after-thought instead of incorporating them into the side seams. <br />Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-20997790483745558122017-07-06T18:52:49.552-04:002017-07-06T18:52:49.552-04:00Love hearing about your housekeeping - much, much ...Love hearing about your housekeeping - much, much better than mine.

The final house in Wyoming was the only one where I've been able to manage the window detail. [Usually undertaken prior to a viewing!] <br />I may put in a fall bean crop--the plague of bean beetles has usually ended by late summer.<br />I am pleased with the rocker cushions--offered $6 per yd on ebay and the bid was accepted--shipping was $10 as it was on a bolt. Fabric is fairly stiff but my sewing machine handled it well.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-16534908852935956752017-07-06T02:37:37.807-04:002017-07-06T02:37:37.807-04:00Washing windows here is a big project too.

With a viewing in the offing I did the ones I could reach, and then the tops of the sash windows inside and out but am only too aware (it was VERY sunny yesterday) of the shortcomings of the bottom halves! Especially in my office. Ah well, we ran out of time.<br /><br />I love the fabric you used on those rockers. Nice and cheerful. <br /><br />I am also envious of your bean crop - my few plants (in tubs this year) are still at the flower stage.
