light of day

yesterday i posted about the wonderful get together of some long-term stashbuster group members and how much we all enjoyed the day....we were drunk with giddy quilty fun, but today's another story....the harsh reality of the day after is glaringly evident in the afterglow of such fun....what reality you say?

THIS reality!!!  while marianne is happy to have alleviated her cabinets, my one bookcase is anticipating the battle of the bulge....a little bit of everything--batiks, fossil ferns, solids and a few fun prints....right away pulled out these 2 for some now sewing...

some forest green batik scraps and a green print neutral....my first fun chore...and she also gifted me a delightful and useful desk lamp for my sewing table....she valiantly tried foisting spools of thread on me but with no current need, sternly declined.  the lamp has taken its place next to betty and will be a thoroughly useful and enjoyable addition to the sewing studio space...

now to prep for the weekend of bad apple behavior and a management company that cares nothing for the life quality of its residents.   they go to great lengths to distribute stern rules but in truth, their only concern is the building and grounds.....more residents they can get but lush property and a sound edifice are of sole concern.
