Home repairs….
As if I didn’t have enough to do already, we are thinking of moving to a different house in the area–same school district, though. So in addition to selling off mom’s household stuff, trying to keep up with my quilting career, raising two kids (one of whom is a teenager…’nuf said), eat, sleep, walk the dog, et cetera, we are getting the house spruced up. The dear, departed Yeti-dogbeast (read about him here and here) left his marks on the house literally: major scratches on the door from the garage to the house, so I needed to fix them. Alas, there was so much to do that wood filler the color of the door wasn’t gonna do it, so I went to regular wood filler:
Yep. That light stuff is ALL wood filler. I didn’t get the molding done perfectly, but it is a whole heap better than it was. Then primed:
And finally painted to match the interior walls…mo bettah!
So does this mean I have time to sew? Alas, no…. life is happening in a major way, but at least the house is looking better! And keep your fingers crossed that we find a buyer for our house SOON!

Wow! Not only is she a quilter/patchworker extraordinaire, she’s also an extremely talented door repairer/painter. I loved reading about Yeti – such a lovely dog. Regards, Dorothy.

So does selling your house mean you might get to buy another house based on how great a quilting space you would have?? It’s a tough seller’s market out there so I wish you the best….
