ScrapHappy Saturday - Mountain Edition

I have not yet set up my sewing machine in Virginia. There has been hand sewing of hexies.

Most of the time though, there have been projects and quiet relaxation. This deer stood outside the family room for ages last night grazing on grass and trees. 



I got the last room upstairs painted. We call it the bunkbed room. It is where Kurt has meetings when he is working from home. He hasn't been into the office yet, but has been working part time when needed. We aren't taking a summer vacation this year, so he is enjoying some down time. 

I tamed grass. We keep trying to get some low maintenance ground cover to take over, but for now, there is still mowing. Kurt does not enjoy mowing and somehow he always ends up with a broken mower when he is here on business. That means it is always the first thing that I need to do when I get here. 


Kurt spent most of the week in North Carolina visiting his dad who is in the hospital with pneumonia. 

We did spent some time yesterday getting a few new windows installed. The delivery came while Kurt was gone, so we will keep working through those in one by one. I think we have three in and four to go. Maybe five. There is an awkward door that goes out of the master bedroom that we are going to swap for a window instead. After that we will have to redo the siding and so the cycle of projects continues. Kurt really wanted to build a house from scratch, but there seem to be plenty of projects here to keep us both busy.
