No Sewing in the Scrapatch

 

That is my sewing machine and table and lamps ...

tucked away and under wraps in the wrong corner of my living/dining room. 

The new living room floor is almost done. 

That is Cassian looking perplexed because I interrupted his play 

with the many cat toys that have been found under the heavy furniture 

when I took this before and after photo.

The baseboard of the archway is pulled off because Mr. Scrapatch discovered that the old floor was laid after the baseboards were installed in our circa 1900 home.  So he has had to remove and cut the bottom edge of each baseboard and then repaint the baseboards in order to tuck the new flooring under them so there will be a clean, secure edge. There are many quirks in the construction in this house that we have found over the years.  So it is always a longer than planned process whenever we do home improvement projects.  

The new flooring project is on temporary hold while he starts his new job and we get ready to host our family Easter in our "unrenovated" dining room.  The food will taste good and it will be good to get together and celebrate. 

So, no sewing for me for a while longer.

I am continuing to play with the yarn and my crochet hooks.

This one was made with the Size 2 (2.25mm) steel crochet hook 

and these small balls of crochet thread.

This is a little small for my achy hands. 

So I think I will go back to using the slightly larger DK weight yarn 

and no smaller than my Steel Size 0 hook. 

 If I was sewing, my kitties and I would be working

 on my Scrappy Irish Chain Quilt ...

... and starting a new project
