#ThingADay2020, House Stuff
Feb. 18th, 2020 11:10 am#ThingADay is something a friend of mine is doing this month and I decided to do it as well, since I'm trying to do more making of various sorts. Doesn't have to be fancy or high art, just work on doing/making for at least 5-15 minutes per day. Take photos and share, when possible. Been doing it on FB, but will try to share some of the pics here soon-ish (I know, I know).
I've done a fair bit of mending as a result, drew a couple of things, also fingerloop braiding, re-working a winter jacket, some new stuff with felt and embroidery. Working on a crop top I started last year and then got annoyed with, starting yesterday.

Lyle and I were talking about the kitchen lighting again last night... Still not sure exactly what we're going to do about it. But I was looking at the problem with lighting for the table that we use for food prep -- no overhead light, person's body blocks light from the kitchen and the baker's rack on the other side of the table blocks some light from the dining room side.
I realized that if I turned the two pieces of furniture that the dining room light would line up with the table, the rack and whoever's working at the table will no longer be in the way, and even some light from the kitchen would hit the work area. It isn't quite as convenient for a kitchen "triangle" but it's worth it for the lighting.
So I moved and re-leveled everything this morning, and the overall footprint of this work island is slightly smaller now, as I could fit one of the recycling bins under one end of the table.
