Aimless Tangents

This was originally written on Wednesday. ~~~~~ I began my work day today among the clouds.  Or so it felt.  I work on the sixth floor of an eighteen story building (not counting basement levels) downtown.  Because I’m very low on the totem pole I do not have a desk anywhere near a window, but [...]

This is my latest time sink.  I’m so very addicted.  What is Pinterest?  Well…bear with me and I’ll answer that.  I’m a Bookmarker.  By that I mean if I find something interesting on the web I’ll bookmark the page.  My bookmarks are sorta categorized but I have a metric freaking ton of them that I [...]

I finally got the window trim in the bedroom painted white.  Yes, it is taking forever.  Mostly because I am at the stage where the project is no longer fun with big impact and it is the tedious stuff left to do.  That always takes longer.  And painting trim is just not fun.  Toss in [...]

I did this yesterday: Cucumbers, bell pepper, squash, bush beans, basil, rosemary, thyme, dill, gourds, etc.  I’m hoping I get some decent plants otherwise I’ll have to run to Lowe’s and see what I can find there. We finally replaced the crappy white paint I had previously attempted to use on the trim in the [...]

Texture in the bedroom is my main goal right now.  To that end, I have had an idea for circle wall art for a long time.  Ever since I saw it done on another blog that I sadly cannot find again.  I’m not sure what they used for their circles but I decided on wooden [...]

Not enough… time money daylight drive passion effort peace compassion will space storage clean dishes clean laundry etc. I could make a list a mile long of what I don’t have enough of.  Easy job to do as we seem conditioned, partially by society, to focus on what we don’t have.  But yesterday morning, afternoon, [...]

With the weather warming up and lots of people getting out to work in their yards, usually generating a lot of very nice green and brown waste, I thought it was timely to repost my no-cost pallet compost bin.  Enjoy! I’ve wanted a compost bin for a while now. The willow tree in our back [...]

I’m down with a weird virus right now.  I’ve been feeling bad and at night running a fever.  There is a nap shortly in my future.  So I’m going to link some interesting things I’ve seen on the web lately. Etsy changed their privacy policy, and not for the better.  If you don’t want your [...]

Remember this lamp? Thanks to a sprayed on coat of mahogany stain it now looks like this. I’m very pleased with it.  Gives some light to a dark corner and helps dress up the dresser.  Sadly the two alarm clocks must stay thanks to only the top one being able to wake my husband but [...]

An insanely busy weekend, followed by a slight cold, and combined with an oddly busy week means I have nothing to show for today.  I haven’t done anything crafty or creative, or any painting.  I’ve only moved some furniture and cleaned the house.  So today, you get fuzzies. And just a note, while that comforter [...]
