Productive Weekend

I woke with such an AWFUL headache yesterday!  I was sure that I wouldn't be getting much done around the house.  But long about noon my headache finally went away, and I managed to be pretty productive yesterday afternoon. 
I managed to clean the family room, playroom, and laundry room! 
 
I also made a "to-do" for each room.  Just odds and ends of things that need to get done.  It's displayed prominently in each room so Bill can see it....just in case he wants to do something on said "to-do" list.  He is retired after all!!
 


One thing on the list is figuring out how to disguise the dryer
vent and cord in the photo above.  Any ideas?



I also want to (finally) get this door painted...but not white. 
I'm thinking a nice, bright yellow or maybe some shade of green.
Thoughts??


Then there's this peg board.  It needs to be attached to the wall....centered under the little girl in the blue dress and centered between her and the ledge.  That's written on the note too, so Bill knows exactly where to hang it...just in case he has time!


While I was cleaning I did a little laundry too.  I washed this quilt.  It was a thrift store purchase about a year ago.  I love the colors in it...it's a happy quilt. 
It'll be even happier when I repair the frayed beige squares in it!
 
Happy Monday!!

autumn by the riverside

How I will spend my first Autumn weekend.

In my mind.
I'll be sitting near the overhang of the little shed. The air around me is crisp and clean and the colors are a visual treat. The water is perfectly still. It reflects the twin of the beauty all around me and it reflects me relaxing in the midst of it all!
In my reality.
It's way warmer than I'd like it to be and I have a lot of work to do around the house. No relaxing this weekend, I'll be cleaning!
But it's nice to dream.
How about you? What are you doing this weekend?
