So life is busy between work on the old farm house and then trying to get some work done in studio. I have to admit the work is very slow in the studio and it is difficult to get motivated but I have some silk scarves that I am preparing for the Co-op so that may be the kick start .I was hoping as we started the work on the old house that we would find something to help date it.and the other day we did. Because of the design of the house I had suspected it was between 100-130 years old. Wayne discovered the age when he was lifting the floor boards from a closet. On top of the floor was layers of wall paper but underneath someone decide to leave a few sheets of the Weekly Sun St John NB January 8 1896. Of course we can't be sure that its the excite date but suspect it is very close.
The wall paper floors are intriguing and maybe even something I could work with but we do plan on trying to reuse as much as possible so these too will be cleaned and restained.
The weather is most unusual for this time of year and even though we have had some very cold days there are some are some spots on the farm that is making the best of it.
