These are the very last pictures of the redoing of the "infamous" laundry room. I promise!! :-) We finally got our solar tube installed and it is incredible!! I simply love it! And it was really very clean to put in. I mean I didn't even have anything to clean up. WOW!! As I've said, the room is a pass through from garage to a hallway and it was dark. I would have to have a light on in there to see anything. Well, both of these pictures were taken with no lights on or even flash. Just natural sunlight at about 11:30 am streaming in from the tube in the ceiling you see in the first picture. Okay,...
Things Learned Recently!
I've learned a lot of things in my life time. I mean a LOT. I thought of keeping track of some of them to share. Just a few thoughts on my particular life. Hah.1. You truly can be a queen. Oh, maybe not of a foreign country, but certainly in your own home with your own family. Wear the crown proudly!2. We truly need to be more loving and kinder to those of our own household. We tend to let them see our "bad" side and keep the "good" side for friends, acquaintances and co-workers. That needs to change..........NOW! They are the ones we spend eternity with and actually, we shouldn't have a "bad"...
Thoughts at the End of a Day
A friend I know painted this little compote dish and I believe it to be absolutely stunning! She has been a sweetie in encouraging me to paint. She's come a long way with her painting and this proves it. Gorgeous, Katie!!~*~The last several days I've been working on my website - tweaking here and there. This can be very dangerous!! Trust me on this. It has been very frustrating for me to try and do something and it won't come out exactly like I want it. I know none of you have ever experienced that. Woooooo...... Anyway, I haven't given up. There are just so so many things I want to accomplish:...
Bad Backs and Good Books............
Been go the chiropractor's office 3 times this week and feeling much better. Actually, I love going to them. This one is especially good! His office is the most serene place I've been in a long time. Above is picture of his entrance. The property is just lush and green and quiet..........oooooh, I just had to take pix to show. Like being in a forest almost.Anyway, been busy fixin' my website and what a challenge that has been. I'm not getting much done lately because of this back of mine, but I am reading some good books. A new one by Dean Koontz called The Husband was really good. A mystery with...
Ritual of the Bedroom
I've finished with the laundry room. Aren't you glad?!?! Hah. Now, no more saga of the "decorating of the laundry room." In a couple of weeks we get our new solar tube. But the above little clothes pin holder is something I whipped up to "hold my clothes pins!"~*~Let's talk about going to bed! Hah, that got your attention, huh? I believe preparing for bed should be a ritual. My ritual is taking time to read before going to bed to sort of "key" down. I have to do this. If we go out for an evening, I must read or relax before going to bed. It is essential for me. I then turn down the bed. That...
Went Shopping Yesterday.
Found this little shelf at a consignment store, brought it home, painted it WHITE(!) and decaled it. Then put on my detergent in the little canister I received from a lady on ebay. I had to add the little wire to the top, but it is a cutie with a little scoop. Those towels are some I'm going to embellish and put on my website when I get time. I've been working on a clothespin holder because the one in there now is yucky with bird poo on it!! Hah...... But I've had to take it apart twice! Just cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong.I've spent the last 2 days in my chiropractor's office getting...
Apology!!!
First of all I need to apologize to Sonia for not finishing my Tag. There is really no excuse and I do apologize. I am a moderator or owner of 4 different ebay forums and that just keeps me busy along with taking care of hearth, home, health and hubby! See I am a 4H-er! Not really. Plus my website and making things to sell on it and ebay. I don't know how women at home with kids do it!! You're all a wonder to me. I'll try my best to get it done within the next couple of days.These flowers were in a wicker basket but I needed the basket to hide some things in plain sight. Remember my motto. I have...
A Finishing Touch..........
After looking and looking at the laundry room, I kept thinking there was more I had to do to it. I finally decided it was the ironing board and iron. Now, I'm not sure what I can do about the iron because when I put it away it's usually hot, but the board was another matter. I made a cover for it! Actually I made it just as far down as could be seen. It's only about half way down or maybe a bit less, but it does make a difference in the way it looks and feels to me. Now I just need a little bookcase/shelf across from the washer/dryer or maybe a small chair or stool to sit on while putting on shoes....
Tag! I'm It....................
I've been redoing my laundry room and this is just one of the pictures of the finished product. If you want to see it all, go to my website tomorrow and I'll have it posted there. This is just your "daily dose of eye candy!"Sonia of C Crafts & Collectibles tagged me. I need to tell 7 things about myself that are weird. So, why just limit me to 7, Sonia?!?! There are so many. Hah. I'll tag 7 others but it'll have to be later tonight or tomorrow am. So here goes:1. I was born with a wry neck. That means that my neck was pulled to one side, but a nurse massaged it and got it normal. However,...
