Oh, The Places You'll Go

 (there's only a few hours left to vote for your favorite blog and we have a tie! you could be the tie-breaker... just vote in my sidebar)

Good morning my fine friends. Today is one of those happy-sad days where I need to keep myself busy to stay happy.

Today one of our dearest friends (and renters) left for summer vacation and won't be back until August. This makes me sad and until school gets out for the kiddo's it also makes me bored and lonely.


So today I need to stay busy... which shouldn't be to hard. I could choose from any of the following things to occupy myself:

- mow the lawn
- paint some chairs
- go to walmart for bread and other essentials
- vaccuum the house
- prune the raspberry bushes some more
- give the Mischievite a much needed bath
- play with my blogger background so I can make it how I want it
- take some new pictures for the blog (since I'm recycling old ones)
- purge the house of odd and unneeded items
- put away the picture frames that are propped against the wall in my living room.
- take the pile of cleaning chemicals out of the back of the truck.
- move the bikes into the garage
- do some laundry
- do some dishes
- work on my 'mom book'
- clean up my craft corner
- decide what to cook for dinner
- fix the gate that blocks the stairs
- clean off the front porch
- remake my bed
- fold clothes
- take a nap


Hmm, none of that sounds remotely fun. Well, except the blogging, mom-booking and napping. Maybe that's what I'll do today. Right after I call my mom and chat for 2 hours.

That sounds like a good day to me. What about you?

I woke up really wanting to make an ideal day list of how I would want my ideal day to go and get done etc. Then I decided I would just get disappointed so I decided to do that another day!

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

Image
The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Mutterings of a Middle-Aged Dreamer

Image
Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you?  Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure.  Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing.  Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry?  Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door.  Go. Live in the now.
