Yesterdays Doings
Weather was amazing yesterday,
a tad cloudy but perfect at 70 degrees
with no rain, no humidity.
I was able to get the stool out
and seal the painting on it.
I am funny about using certain things
cause if you are not careful, what you
apply will turn the painting yellow.
I decided spraying on a sealer was the best.
I got about 5 coats on it.
One project done and finished.
Had a discussion on FB with
Darla at
darlamsands.blogspot.com
about making holes in your cabinets..
If you have solid wood cabinets,
new cabinets I can understand not wanting
to put holes in them. Me on the other
hand have builder grade cabinets
that I painted years ago.
Putting holes in them is not an
issue for me esp if it makes my
life easier.
I was tired of digging in the cabinet
for measuring cups. I have 3 sets.
So a few weeks ago I decided I
needed to hang them.
The 3rd set is stacked in the cabinet....I
ran out of doors that was the best
to hang them
on.
This got hung years ago due to the
fact it kept getting lost in the
cabinet and since I am not really
an apple person (got this for Caleb)
I had to hang it cause I would never
remember where I put it with the time
span that goes by between use.
Went to the store last week.
I picked up some granola bars for
a treat. Only after I emptied the bags
I did not remember seeing it.
I figured it just did not make it when
things were bagged.
I just sort let it go.....
about 4 days later I found it,
in the freezer!
Was invited by my older brother to come
out for dinner yesterday.
We had BBQ, baked beans, fried taters
and pecan pie.
YUMMY.
Ray has been doing some arranging of things
since he is partially retired (again)!
He is also a great photographer so he
has been printing pics he has taken and
framing them.
The pic on the shelf below is one he took
at a military cemetery. The flag in
the case was the one that draped my
dad's coffin and the flag on the
shutter is one I painted for Ray
last yr.
I love what he has done up there
on that ledge/shelf.
From reading my post and cause I am so
open about it, you know I suffer from
a chronic illness and
this is how I feel lots of
days.
But with that said, I have tried to
do a few things that
have not required a lot of thought,
strength, or moving around.....
So I took a pair of curtains I have had
for years and cut the ruffle off of
one panel.
and took my denim jacket that I picked
up at Goodwill for 5.99.
Mom is still not finished with hemming
of her curtains so I have not moved
the sewing machine to my house yet.
I was not able to actually finish the
project but I do have it all pinned up
waiting till I have the machine at my place.
So here it is....
curtain ruffle pinned to the
denim jacket.
But then I felt it still needed something.
I had this in a drawer, it is actually a hair
clip but it works great for
what I needed to finish off the
jacket.
And this will be what it will look like
when sewing is done.
I am so excited about it looks. I
love it. This is an idea I
found on Pinterest.
And here is your thought for the
day.
Keep it in mind and if you
question anything about yourself today...
go back and read this again.

This morning I finished a tons of laundry. It's all done and put away. It won't last long, but it's a wonderful feeling.
Have a fabulous day. ♥
Glad your weather is warming up. Hopefully that will help the fibro a bit.
Love the denim jacket. It looks great
We have the flag of Dad's also. I love the flag you made for Ray. It's beautiful, Pam. You and your brother are unstoppable, I believe. It runs in the family. :)

Wish I could get anything accomplished, too much coughing, sneezing, and tired.
All the best Jan
