I
didn't do much sewing last week. Between spring cleaning and stormy
days when my machine was unplugged, my stitching time was limited.
When
I'm really in the mood to clean, I go all out. Our camper needed the full
treatment since it hasn't been used for almost 18 months. Because of
COVID, we canceled all our 2020 trips. Oh, we aired it out and
unloaded some gear during that time, but it was still a little dusty
and stale.
We
spent all week. EVERYTHING came out: pots, pans, dishes, linens,
all the stuff that normally stays in there. Lots of laundry and
several dishwasher loads made it all fresh and clean. I wiped down
walls and cabinets, replaced shelf liner, vacuumed, mopped and
dusted.
I
find it very satisfying to clean and organize once I get started. I
culled out duplicate, expired or unused items before moving it all
neatly back in. Rockette, my sturdy Singer 500-A, is stashed snugly in a cabinet with her sewing supplies and a couple of quilt kits.
I've loaded basic clothing and canned goods.
Now the camper is
ready for our next trip--a few weeks after we get our 2nd
vaccine. All I'll need to add is fresh food.
Spring
cleaning will now carry over into the house, but not until we rest and
rejuvenate. I logged several miles just toting things back and
forth. Thank goodness I had the help of my favorite guy. He
finished indoor and outdoor trailer maintenance as well. We're a great team.
Spring
timeis
the perfect timeto
clean!
