Outside interests

Have spent the last week or so cleaning, organizing and painting. My spare bedroom officially looks like a spare room. here are a few before and after pics. All of this was in the spare room along with the furniture. This is a 2 car garage, so you can imagine how crowded the room was.

Here are the after shots. My wonderfully organized closet storing my hand dyes, art cloth and some finished pieces.


Here are the rest of the after shots. It is amazing how much room there seems to be!


After painting. I added sheers to the windows in a cinnamon color which adds a nice rich glow to the room.

This is another of my obsessions, my gardens. The size of the Peonys this year was amazing.


The roses are finally doing something. The weather has been so cool and windy I didn't think they would ever bloom.


The last of the Rhoadys. I didn't get any pics of the red one in bloom this year. I think there may be some in a 2009 post.

Stormy Weather

I think thunderstorms are awesome. Here in S.E. Washington it can be calm and sunny one minute and the next one of these roll through.
