Here I Am Again!

Did you miss me? Actually, I didn't go anywhere. I was busy having withdrawal symptoms whilst the computer was being yanked out by its roots and a new one planted in it's place. Admittedly, the entries weren't very entertaining, but without a camera connection it couldn't be helped......Not that they will be any more entertaining with photos.... Yes. I did accomplish a little while the chaos was ensuing. Did I tell you that it is traumatic to suddenly be thrust into the world of Vista? I am coping....Kind of.

I worked on the kitchen rug. I only have about 2 square inches yet to do. That's about 600 stitches. It will take an hour or so.

While I was doing that Tessie started hassling me about painting Zar's kitchen muddy brown. I told her it was "Trail Tan", but she was having none of it. She insisted that it should be "Old Parchment" because that was more scholarly sounding. When I refused to stop stitching she did it herself. She did a pretty good job. What is irritating, I have to admit that I like that color better than the tan with the rug.

After she finished, she had to celebrate by breaking out the cappuccino machine. She spilled it all over the rug so steps will have to be taken quickly.

Meanwhile upstairs, I painted the walls Wedgewood Green just to see what it would look like. I think I like it. With a lot of woodwork it will be a good combination.

Zar stole a wing chair from the Burglar's Room Box. Somehow there is some poetic justice in that. I will let him keep it until I get one made for him. He is now ensconced upstairs with a cappuccino cup.....I don't think it's coffee though. The label on the bottle says Black and White.......The poor man is being driven to drink by Tessie.

I think that that Miss Dovestone is holding on to the Mystery House. She doesn't want to be a maid, since she seems to be able to afford her own home. I guess that Balthazar is going to have to hire a matronly lady to clean and cook. So much for the good looking one. That just means that I have to get serious and finish the Mystery House too.

It is nice to be back, even if I have inadvertently created an "Upstairs Downstairs" situation. I have maids refusing to work. Witches repainting kitchens without permission and Zar in his secret room on a drinking binge.......Yup. Everything is back to normal!

See you tomorrow!!!
