Spring Cleaning

I'm on a 'use it or lose it' vacation this week. So I decided to do a little spring cleaning. The problem with this idea is though the calendar says 'Spring', the weather is still 'Winter'. It's still too chilly to wash and store the down comforters or take down the curtain at the top of the stairs but I am tidying and cleaning nooks and crannies (Goodwill is getting a visit from me tomorrow!) I also started ripping off more of the hall wallpaper, but it's very very slow going: I think I'm going to have to rent a steamer. If that doesn't work, I'm going to graffiti over it. (Ok, not really...but I'm tempted.)
Some good news: we now have access to the new room. It's still in need of moulding, electricity, and flooring but we have light instead of a view of green garbage bags. Now to settle on a paint color...

And I resisted the siren song of the sock scarf to finish the third pair of Breast Cancer Comfort socks. Project specs: 2 skeins of Plymouth Happy Feet in colorway #4, a rich multidimensional red.
