1. Had a fairly busy week, and another coming up. I am glad to say that I have been getting through most of it with no major hiccups. Got wet a few times, since the rain has started, but I don't think I will rust too much!
2. Husband has been mulching leaves up against our oak tree, so I will have a ready supply when I get out to mulch the garden for winter. So far I am guessing there's probably a pile of leaves 2 feet or so tall, and more to drop.
3. I will be getting a chance to do a project with my garden group. I hope to see them in a more active setting, rather than when I am sitting, taking notes at the meeting.
4. Was able to get some mail out finally. We have to take our mail to the post office, for various reasons. It was an advantage this time, I have a potential new pen friend in Estonia, and had not much of a clue what the postage would be. Or if US stamps work on international mail. ($1.70, and yes, 3 US stamps cover it.)
5. All of my terrariums are doing well except one. And I suspect that was because of my accidentally smacking the plants while putting them in the vase. (Large vase, small mouth.) The others, however, seem to be doing great, and are even putting on a few new leaves.
6. I am almost finished with a Christmas table runner. Glad, too, I have one or two more projects I'd like to work on, and perhaps finish, decoration wise.
7. Husband picked up a gallon of fat free milk for me. I no problem with the taste, and the label amuses me with "0% milk" written on it in big letters. Makes it sound like I am drinking orange juice or something, not milk! ;)
8. I've carved out some time to work on my craft room. I have rid myself of several bags of paper and stuff that I decided I would not use, so recycled it. Then put some items I use a lot, where I can get at them easily. This is probably a thankful for my Husband as well, because I don't need to keep asking him to get it off the shelf!
9. I also gave up on a project I was going to do. I had saved several t-shirts for a quilt. Decided I wasn't going to make said quilt. At the same time, some clothes I wear for dirty work like gardening and cleaning, were in near tatters. Well, now I have new cleaning rags, "new" shirts to wear cleaning, and one less project sitting around undone.
10. Cooler weather has meant more cuddle time with my normally not very cuddly inclined cat. Heat seeker, and she decided my lap is nice and warm.
Have a wonderful week, packed with thankfuls!
I'd love to see pics of your terrariums. Craft room org is drudgery, but so nice to have things where they can be accessed.
ReplyDeleteAh, terrariums! I haven't heard that term in such a long time. Best wishes for the week!
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to read how to declutter and organize better by re-purposing projects. I used to collect stuff for future use and then when I finally came to my senses that they will never be used, discard them in my recycling bin. If its appropriate, please show us your art projects. Even while they are in the stages of making. The before and after stages are interesting.
ReplyDeleteMay you have a nice week ahead.
Your list made me smile, especially the part about not rusting and 0% milk.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great week! My Dad always said if we complained we were getting wet "Don't worry, you're waterproof!"
ReplyDeleteTidying your craft space will pay dividends I'm sure not to mention reviewing your project list - which has already paid dividends!
Have a great week!
Grat #9 caught my attention... I tend to like having multiple projects 'in the works', While I don't have an optimal number (of projects) I have to really make an effort to let go of one or two.
ReplyDeleteMakes for a better outcome on the projects I do keep at.
have a good week this week
oh man! what happened to my Comment??!
ReplyDeleteno, no fair with the "Well, how to lick the shoe being on the other foot?!?!" ;p
For the record, I did have some wonderfully intuitive insights into...stuff (especially managing project overload)
Please let me know if this does not get through. lol
