The Wintertime spring cleaning is finished. Everything has been vacuumed, polished, bleached, scrubbed or otherwise tidied away in time for our rental inspection this afternoon.

I simply cannot express how much I hate rental inspections. Not only does it freak me out that total strangers are coming here and invading my personal space, but there always has to be some kind of joke made at my expense because I "do crafts". I'm so sick of it that now, when people ask what I do for a living, I tell them I'm a non-fiction author. Technically it's the truth and I don't have to put up with the insinuations that writing craft books and websites isn't a real job!

While I wait for them to arrive I'm going to work on adding some more of the Home Work patterns to the knitwiki and afterwards I'm going to treat myself by having a go at making something with my Singercraft tools.

Hopefully my daughter won't bring any friends home from school today. The speed at which teenagers can destroy a kitchen is amazing...
