lls_mutantI am so unmotivated today. I seem to be getting nothing done. :P
I have been cleaning out my office, as it will become a room for Toby. (Must finish sketches and paint list!) I'm bittersweet about it. I've always known I'd lose my office and I don't really NEED one, but I'll miss having a room that's all mine. Of course, given how many toys are in here already, it's questionable as to how much it's really "mine." But honestly, I don't need an office at this point, and putting my computer in the guest room does just fine. Not like we have guests that often, anyway.
One thing I did come across though was a quilt my mom gave me for Christmas one year. It's about 3'x4', and it's handmade out of some of my Dad's clothes. I don't know what to do with it. On the one hand, I'd really like to display it somewhere. I mean, it's a handmade quilt. On the other hand, where?
Both of the boys' rooms are out, because I don't want it getting wrecked. Our room is out, because both hubby and I agree that it's not really a good place for any sentiment about our parents. Guest room is out, because I think it's rude to display a quilt of my dad's clothing where my stepfather sleeps. I think what I need to do is find a very small quilt rack and put it in a corner in the living room. It would match the decor in the family room so much better, but it's something I don't want wrecked, and also, hubby (rightfully) feels kind of awkward having too many mementos around of my father. A picture where the boys can see it is one thing, but hubby never even MET my father. But it's also a lovely piece of work artistically :)
Very quiet and dull. Not necessarily a bad thing. And happy birthday to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
