Spiders!

 I thought I would put my recent botanical renderings to practical use and made a label for my skein of linen yarn--a flax bouquet on one side and the other holds the pertinent info like yardage, etc. 

 I keep all of my plant fiber skeins in this basket I bought a decade ago at a fiber show.

When I did put the skein in the basket, 

I was irritated to notice all of the little spider webs around the area. 

 I got out a dust cloth and began scooping them out from under the basket. 

 I terminated several little spiders.

 And then I had the brainstorm to look at the bottom of the basket!

  Yikes!  See all of the egg sacs?!

Needless to say, I swiped them away after a good spraying and then vacuumed the whole thing.

I'm glad to say I didn't find any little spiders on the inside of the basket but cleaned it anyway!

Then I found mama-she was small as far as spiders go but I wiped her out, too.

See my favorite spray? 

 I put it to good use in the whole area.

After all of the drama, I then dusted and polished the whole area 

(antique sewing machine and wooden sewing cabinet) 

which was a good thing to do since dusting and polishing is usually last on my chore list!
