Off the Frame

off the frame this morning

next to block, steam and bind

made a small dent in the worms

great to use up the ones that have been passed by

for so long

it was a bad day

made a little better 

by a new afghan from a coworker 

her mom loves to crochet 

she has a dozens and dozens made

we've been gifted with 7 of them this year

2 mom kept

the rest for other residents and a patient at work

*****

here we have my next door neightbors garage

only 6" along the side is hers

the rest is my property...

this year I'm putting in a bird/butterfly garden 

to stop the spread of her clutter

given time

I'd like to turn my entire backyard

into a flower garden amongst the trees

 

Heatstroke

I'll pass on this book

but if anyone else needs it

I can supply the cat hair

cracks me up seeing

cats in boxes

mine aren't much interested

besides a sniff session

the wife of a coworker sell thirty-one

he caught me in a weak moment

so I bought 2 large totes

(same as on the shelves...lotsa dots)

stuff : I still have too much

ever feel like yours is weighing you down?

the less I have - the less I want

reminder to self...

Not much creative going on here

the heat has taken away my will...

at least my house is

cleaner and more organized then ever before

why I've even mended some clothes

I know, right

heatstroke for sure!

Neutral Palette

I'm still thinking neutrals...

this photo is from an antique site

featuring the child's bed

(don't ask - I have no idea the name)

Today it was one of those days

Melrose chased Olivia

so much she ended up

on top of the fridge...

I was trying to stitch something

and could only find 7 pins

probably have thousands in here somewhere...

Unpacking Standstill

~ The Wool Room ~

hmmm... it's hard to be creative when I look in here

just a little more work and the room

will be neat and tidy

~The Living Room ~

where should I start?

some of these things are going back to the garage for donations to the garage sale next month

some need to go to the wool room

and I'm tired of fixing the quilts on the ladder... the cats seem to prefer them pulled to the floor

really Kelley?

what is this still doing in the kitchen the plastic container

with most of it's contents go to the garage sale donation the other pieces should be easy to find a spot for

Can you tell I'm tired of unpacking? it won't take long to finish up instead I've been tripping over boxes for more than a week... at least it gives the cats something to jump over hide behind and run around

Maybe this weekend...
