2025 Thoughts and Ideas

Life gets so busy sometimes that it is so hard to find time to blog daily. But at the same time, I really miss blogging. So, starting today I'm going to try to blog at least once a week. It gives me a great opportunity to show you things I hope to find, fix or create. But it takes the stress out of having to do a blog everyday. Last August I did a post to introduce you to my kittens, Gracie & Goose. They are growing a lot. They will be 2 years old in April.

2025 is going to be a year of decorating and crafting. I am seeing so many things that I would like to do or change around the house. I plan on doing a lot of thrifting and antiquing. My current obsession is a small wall shelf turned upside down and create a small bookshelf to set on my knick-knack shelf in the living room. This is my inspiration. I am going to go tomorrow to start trying to find something.

That's my main goal right now is to find a shelf. I'm going thrifting tomorrow so hopefully I'll find something. I'll keep you posted.

A beautiful day

It was a beautiful day yesterday. Sunshine and beautiful skies. I went to a neighboring city looking for something specific. I found what I needed. So stay tuned for a new craft soon. I left my house at 7:30. Got home and took off the trash. Then I went in the opposite direction to look for something else I needed. After that it was time to go to the grocery store and get some groceries. I got home at 6:30. Just let me say 11 hours running around, walking while shopping and enjoying the day almost wore me out. But after a good nights sleep, I'm ready to tackle the world again. Have an awesome Friday!

Random Wednesday

Some random items I saw that I am thinking about making.

If I was made to go camping, I think I could camp in this.

Some humor for today.

Have a happy over the hump day!

My newest craft projects...

My newest craft projects I did yesterday. Started out with plain wooden birdhouses and mini rolling pins from Hobby Lobby and Dollar Tree. Painted them and put scrapbook paper on. Then I put some string & ribbon bows with a little button on them. I am very pleased with the way they look.

I have this little galvanized bucket from Hobby Lobby and I put 3 rolling pins in for every holiday.

I sat one of the bird houses on the books on my coffee table. I haven't decided where to put these other one yet.

I am happy with the way it all turned out.
