My name is Rowena; I'm sixty-something and my husband and I own and live in the former Lawrence County Jail in Bedford, Indiana. Our jailhouse was built in 1904 and presents lots of challenges. I love to design and make things, so this blog is a place to present those projects to you, share ideas and patterns, occasionally show you what's happening with our old house, and often just reflect on mid-life and all that goes with it.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
DD finally made it home from college, and we all had a great time today trimming the tree and putting up decorations all over the house. I love our mantle. I piled all the extra lights that still worked even halfway in a big jumble and then added the stockings and other miscellaneous decorations and voila! there you go.
DD is going to help me fit the back of that jacket and then I can do as you suggested, Angela, and finish the thing and get on with my life. My daughter and I have big plans for this vacation to revisit some other projects. There are any number of them waiting for us, so we'll see what comes out of this midwinter blitz.
