A MUCH BETTER DAY TODAY AS I WAS ABLE TO WORK AT THE COTTAGE ALMOST A FULL DAY. I managed to get to the COTTAGE mid-morning and leave around 5:30. It seemed like the day flew. Took some pictures of my crystal, wrapped almost all of the pieces placing them safely in plastic storage boxes.
I decided that it would be better use of the curio cabinets for dolls. Another change in the plans. The beautiful crystal will go into hibernation until further remodeling happens. I didn't get all the crystal wrapped and I had hoped I'd have the dolls in place today. Not so.
The small library case is in place in the Dining room where I was going to put the Federal Glass Madrid Pattern Depression Glassware (1932-39) in it until, the plates would not fit. Not deep enough. Misjudging the space means I have to become more creative in finding a place for these old dishes. They were in the bottom part of the corner cabinet that didn't have a back on it. Waiting for hubby to put beaded board on the backside then I can use the cabinet in the COTTAGE. It was secured into place in this main house and isn't yet in the COTTAGE. The waiting is the hardest thing to as my patience is tried. Stay busy doing other things to get my mind off of what I'm waiting for.
Still, tomorrow I hope to wash, rinse and dry the dishes finding someplace else to put them. The MOVE-IN pains will morph along. Trial and error phase until it feels right. This will take some doing as when relocating to a different location requires getting use to the change.
My collection of old casserole dishes with lids found their way in the library case. A few more cardboard boxes were emptied. I like these porcelain beauties in here. A nice fit for now.
So tomorrow, I hope to finish wrapping the crystal pieces placing them in storage boxes that will go on a muscle rack in the cellar. The other half of my Doll Collection will go into a curio cabinet that's in a bedroom. The Depression dishes will get washed and then I will give it some more thought about what to do with these beauties. That'll more than likely be enough for the day.
More shuffling of boxes and pieces of furniture will take place. Next on the agenda, cleaning the inside and outside of the kitchen cabinets to where I can start loading them. This will be interesting playing house organizing the small cabinets. I will have to figure out the new arrangement for my playground for the culinary arts in my COTTAGE Kitchen.
Another day closer to SPRING. Thankful for that, but the temperatures chilled a bit more than was expected. It did not reach the 50s today as was predicted. It actually cooled to the 30s. Skies were overcast and I repeated to myself that I am not fond of WINTER temps. Bundling up doesn't change that. Weathering through the days staying busy makes for a happier HOMEMAKER on the prairie. Thoughts of our irises blooming in about 8 weeks is a count down that will not pass quick enough.
Hubby made progress sheet rocking the bathroom ceiling. He's a one man team when it came to hanging it all by himself. He has quite a system going. Impressive to watch. He's got it figured out.
Wish the bathroom were done. As we see it transpire into a finished project, we will rejoice that this is finished. After the bathroom is up and going, the leveling of the front part of the COTTAGE will take place. When done, we can begin to move more pieces of furniture in. I continue packing.
