Me and My Sweet Cluttery Living Room
Written by admin on August 27th, 2008Maybe you already know this about me, but I thrive with a little bit of clutter. Just a little. 
Maybe this is not really clutter, but I have a lot of stuff in my living room. It’s really the only place I can work on crafty things. No bonus room here in this 1921 house and no basement. I do thinks like sewing, and scrapbooking, and card and tag making right in my little cozy living room.
See what I mean about the clutter? I do keep my clutter organized, however, thank you!
My vintage sewing machine makes me happy, so I like to have it on my desk – my sometimes sewing desk/sometimes craft desk.
I took some time on the front steps the other day to read my new Victoria magazine (yes, Mary, I did) and also to organize my new planner and purse. I love little times like that.
It won’t be long before the geraniums will have to come in, or they won’t make it. They don’t like winter here. Don’t worry, I am decluttering the upstairs to make ready for my house plants to come back in.
Yes, that day outside was so nice.
Today, however, it is VERY rainy, and very gray, so I am inside at my little desk, and working in the house, redoing some things upstairs and washing clothes. And cooking. I like days like this, too.
It’s almost like nighttime in the house today. The lamps cast a bright glow on things, though.
One more thing and I’ll go get busy. Again.
Princess of the Universe loves her new teacher. I’m so happy for her. It does take a few days, however, to adjust to getting up early and working all day, so she came home, put on her little eye covering and took a nap on the couch. It was so sweet to walk in and see this. I had to get a picture, and no need to worry about the flash, right?

What a sweet sleeping angel
I love those days too. It’s cloudy and drizzling outside and I hope it lasts, but I fear hot weather is right around the corner again, so I’m really enjoying this touch of fall

Rue, the hot weather is back today!! LOL. Your words came true. But it was nice to see the sunshine here after three straight days of rain and clouds.
Yes, she’s my little sleeping angel…. Aren’t they adorable?? But she’s approaching the teen years way too fast!
Thank you for coming by.
