A Sew And Sew Day -

I arrived at the QPO Studio yesterday right on time...Hubster Dave and Son Jeff were already there doing their "outdoor" type things. The main project this spring has been getting both the QPO Studio and the garage repainted.

The garage is now done on the front side yere - (Yes, I know I can use some barn blocks on the garage!) and though we've been interrupted by rain and wind, the back side is also well on the way to being done.

It looks SO MUCH BETTER! It all matches the house now.
