Seems even the cats
aren't enjoying the relentless
Ohio sun so much lately
getting this piece ready for eBay
turned out just right
after the tea dyeing
I've spent some timeoff and on
the past week
rearranging a few rooms
at my parents house
to make life easier for Dad
when he gets home (today)...
these painted Shaker boxes
were always on the
"give to Kelley" list
for when Mom got tired of them...
since she couldn't find the right
place to move them to
she decided they'd look best
at my house
they sure do!
I'm thinking she purchased these
in the early 80's
at a craft show
handmade in Zoar, Ohio
the price on the largest one
is $65
next size is $48
Shaker boxes
near the top of my
Very Favorite Things list
look what I picked in the garden this morning
what a great landlord
I have for letting me
help myself
still waiting for tomatoes
for making fresh salsa
will probably buy some later this week
at one of the many
farm markets I pass on the way to work
We're starting a voluntary 10 week
Commit to Fit
challenge at work this week
(yesterday and today)
so I'll be getting weighed once I get there
then once a week until October
there will be incentives
plus a grand prize for the winning team...
my team leader says
Jillian from the biggest loser
has nothing on her...and I believe it
since she's lost over 180
pounds over the past 3 years...

Love your new piece and the boxes your mom gave you are really wonderful. I finally see green beans on the plants, can't wait to pick them, will be eating tomato sauce and beans till it comes out of my ears, lol.

Kelley,
Wonderful Cat in the Sun piece! I want to get one of your designs from the booklet hooked so bad! Things are fighting me here though!
Your Dad is coming home! Yay! Will be keeping you and your parents in my thoughts and prayers!
Sending good energies for the weight loss program too! The last few weeks I've been on a self-imposed program too....... Your veggies look healthy!
Hugs!

Just love your cat in the sun! Gorgeous! Those shaker boxes are drool worry - i have my eye on my Mom's natural stained ones that were in her family for a while - ones in her sewing room filled with this and that - think I could stick a different box in there and make a switch? So happy your Dad is comming home - a lot of work for you but he will feel so much better at home! Oh Hospital Fit Club - wishing you the best of luck with it - i know you can do it!
Cute piece! Awesome boxes! And, Kelley, I just know you are going to do wonderful with your fitness plan! Knock their socks off girl!!! :)

Love your kitty piece and the boxes are beautiful. Fresh veggies from the garden so appealing. Your Dr Oz poster is neat too, funny though.
Your punch needle is so cute. Our kitties are finding cool spots here as well. One has even camped himself in a tree to keep cool. Have a wonderful day.
Blessings....
