Spring

Tomorrow is our FibreArts Toronto meeting. The challenge is "Spring". In the end, after comtemplating spring rolls, spring fever, watch springs, and a whole list of other springy items and concepts, I decided to go with green. So I used a background of green silk from a dress of Carmit's detritus, spelled out the word "spring" in green fabrics, added green flowers from a fake Hawaiian lei, beaded in green, stitched in green, et voila "Green They Say" (from the lyrics).
I had it hanging in my office exhibit last week (including the 17th where people thought the flowers were shamrocks).

Anyways, back to spring. Today I got a little spring cleaning in. After all, Pesach is coming. I have two fridges in my kitchen, from the days when the kids lived at home and one fridge and certainly it's freezer weren't enough. So when we redid the kitchen, we bought another fridge and I insisted that they both be in the kitchen, side by side. It worked out well when the kids lived at home. Since they're gone, the only time we really need both fridges is the holidays when we get the entire family together. So today, I cleaned the "empty" fridge, transferred the food to it and cleaned the other fridge so now we're ready for our holiday shopping which we'll do at the end of the week and our holiday cooking which we'll tackle next Sunday & Monday. Of course, once you clean one thing, you see how the other things need it as well... So I will do the oven overnight and soak the stove elements overnight and finish them tomorrow. When the urge to clean comes, I mustn't repress it becomes it comes so infrequently.

Anyhow, off to watch TV and veg.
