Sunsets/ Blooms/ Project

Count down for Christmas

cards is about done...

This is card 13 and 

my all time fave one.

Theres no place like home...

for the holidays!

When going to the store lately I am

trying really hard to make sure

I don't buy sugary or scratch 

type foods. But the other night I 

ran in Aldi's store to grab a few 

things and saw this..

I walked past it....twice.

Went back and got some anyway.

A mistake I don't need to make again.

IT WAS SO GOOD.

haha..

To help get it out of the house I sent

a bunch home with my youngest

brother yesterday. I made some 

veggie soup and cornbread, it was

his day off so I sent him some.

He called today to tell me that he ate

some soup last night and more today.

BUT he finished off the popcorn treats

last night!

Caught this sunset last night on the 

way to the barn. 

Fall in TN produces the best sunsets.

Got this one yesterday also. 

Sunset over Nashville.

See the buildings to the right...

NASHVILLE.

A couple of years ago my mom 

gave me her Christmas cactus.

It never bloomed for her.

But after a summer on my deck with 

indirect lighting...

and this is what I have going on.

The other day I saw the coolest thing

of Pinterest that I really wanted

to make but it was not till I 

went to the shed today and saw

this

I was not having the best of days but

I decided that I wanted to 

create, pain or not so ...

I took the step stool to the 

kitchen along with this piece

of wood that you see on the top

of the stool.

Then, I pulled out this bathroom rug 

I had stashed back. I stashed it away

for a cat tower I wanted to make.

I used my electric staple gun to 

attach the rug to the piece of wood.

Have you figured out yet what this 

will be?

I also covered the two steps up 

and wapped the front legs 

in rope that I bought back 

in the summer for redoing Lily's

perch. For those with cats you 

know what the rope is for but

for those that don't know, the 

wrapped rope is for the cats

to stratch their nails on. 

Then I took this pillow

sham I picked up at Goodwill 

last yr. I got two for 1.99

and I cut one up for my stuffed pumpkins.

But I had this other one that 

I knew was perfect for what I needed.

I tied it to the bottom of

the stool and before I could

even get it all the way tied 

Lily Bit decided to check it out

and she jumped right in.

I think she likes it. 

This is the end project. But I failed

to take a pic of the front with the 

covered steps and the rope and I was

just to lazy to go upstairs tonight to 

do that. haha

Anyway, I love a simple, easy, fast 

project where I am recycling items to 

other things. The wooden step stool

was a find and needing some tightening

up. The rug was recycled from the 

bathroom, the pillow sham was 

a Goodwill buy and the rope I had

purchased before. I did not have to 

run out and get anything. 

After this project that took 

only about 30 tp 45 mins I 

took a break and enjoyed my heated

throw. 

Then to the barn to feed.

Here is the sunset on the road

to the barn.
