Dickens puzzle in progress. I spent a fair amount of time on it yesterday. It’s very engrossing, which is what I need now.
We ventured into the neighboring college town and I bought some boxes and bubble wrap and tape. Since we live in such a small house, I’ve learned not to hang on to boxes because we just don’t have the storage space. We recycle all that cardboard. I did have a bit of bubble wrap on hand, but I needed more. Then we came back to the house and I proceeded to wrap each egg cup in bubble wrap, placing sheets of it between the layers of egg cups. Country Living sent me a UPS label and today I’ll drop it off for shipping. I have to say that that the woman I’m working with couldn’t be nicer. She completely understands my worries about the egg cups in transit and during the time that CL is doing the shoot. Since this is what she does for a living, I think all will be well.
A lot of the ice on the trees and plants melted yesterday and more will melt today. But in the meantime, it’s gray and foggy out there.
We’re watching the Olympics, as we always do, and are grateful for the distraction. I’ve been a bit distracted myself by my worries about the weather and the need to package up the egg cups and send them off so they arrive in time for the shoot. Once I drop them off today, I’ll breathe a sigh of relief.
I’m gearing up to do some work on the exterior of the English Cottage. I want to seal the stones with Mod Podge and then add some mortar. The process will be messy, but I’ve been thinking about it a lot and I realize that the stones will look more realistic and aged that way. I’m excited about it.
Okay, my friends. I have to get going.
Stay safe.
Happy Tuesday.
