My Clothesline Obsession...

Hey Guys! :)

I know it's been a while since I last popped in.  I can't believe that a little bit ago I was even entertaining the idea of a once a week post.  It was wishful thinking I'm afraid.  Life is just so busy.   Oh well,  enough said about that because I find it ever so frustrating, and I've written about my pathetic posting before so I won't bore you with more of that now.   I hope anyone who may be reading this is happy and just enjoying each day as it comes.  

Let me introduce you to my new love! (Picture a bunch of tiny hearts swirling over my head as you read this!)  That's him, right there, standing in the yard, looking ever so handsome!  (Sigh!)  I know it's odd to be in love with a clothesline, but truly ... I am! ;)

  

My yard isn't all that big, and the oak trees I used to have back there are now gone, so stringing a line from one tree to another wasn't an option, plus honestly even if it was an option, my husband just didn't want a line of any kind out there all the time.  Handy Husband could have easily built something if he really wanted to. :(

 Figuring there had to be something I could just buy that would fit the bill, I went searching and I found this him...The Leifheit Linomatic!   I just call him Leif for short.  I talk about him so much, my friends are starting to think there must be something wrong with me!

   To satisfy my husband, he takes up very little space...but when I pull his string...oh gosh, such wonderfulness happens!  (That didn't sound quite right, did it?!!)

I think whoever invented this was brilliant!  As you pull his string, his arms slide up and outward to reveal quite a bit of line.  Then when the wash is all freshly air dried, and smelling just about as good as it possibly can, I push a little button,  and like magic the lines retract into his arms as he transforms back to looking nice and neat again. 

I'm loving all of this so much, I find that I'm pulling sheets off of beds to rewash even before their fresh air, Downy scent, has even faded!   Yes, it's true love!!!

  Out front, my pink roses are back again and looking so pretty.   I was a little concerned that maybe they'd have a rough go after last winter's snow and frigid temps, but they're all fine... just beautiful, and perfectly pink! 

New things are happening on my work table! ;)  I'm working on some clay pins in the same style as my stitched ones.  Here, take a peek... 

I've still got a few things to work out, but when they're exactly the way I want, I'll let you know. 

Okay then Sweeties, that's really it for now.  I hope you enjoy your weekend.  Remember to do something that makes you happy, and always remember to smile...it's such a simple thing, but smiling makes you feel better, and it makes all of those around you feel better too!  :)

See you soon! (At least I'll try to see you soon!)
