Hurry! It's Summer!



Hi!

This weekend I've been busy finishing my (lol) spring cleaning! Only two more days til summer, gotta get this done---or else!

Or else what, you ask?


Or else I won't be able to relax and sit on the beach sewing quilts and hearts. I'll have the heebee-jeebies knowing the house is untended and imperfect.

dream pillow/ relaxtion pillow, in my etsy shop today!
don't you love the "seagulls" antique lace?
What have I accomplished?

*I scrubbed the guest bathroom with Clorox, Tilex and a tiny hard brush. By hand! I washed the ceiling---and the glass showers doors and chrome are  all polished and shiny. The grout is VERY white. I did my bathroom too, though not as intensely.

esty shop: tiny dream pillow sachets
*I washed the screens and the window surrounds and the interior windows. (I wash the outside ocean-facing windows every week, year round....)
*I scrubbed the entry foyer and the stairs; I "waxed" the stair treads with Floor Rejuvenate! Smells so nice, so-----polish-y!

French ticking and lovely wishes for summer [esty]
*I bleached and polished the kitchen cabinets. I washed all the walls around the light switches and knobs where they get grubby......

*I put away the flannel sheets and cashmere sweaters, got out the shorts and tank tops.

*I almost finished painting the living room, but ---remember the hand in the car door incident last week?---I had to postpone that a bit. Too painful....


*I found new white slipcovers! And reupholstered one of the sofas. When my hand is okay and I put the new covers on, I'll tell you all about that.


***Still did not plant my deck flower tubs though. That's for Monday...and then: finito!
Do you spring clean? Bet you get it done looong before June!



love
