Yesterday afternoon was fabulous.  I completed all my grocery shopping for the week, had accomplished my trip to The Scrap Exchange (having found exactly what I was looking for and then some), and came home to a quiet house in which to finish two projects.

Here is what I brought home from The Scrap Exchange.  It’s like opening […]

I was not sure what to do this morning.  A beautifuI day.  A day off in fact!  I was in the mood to slip on a skirt and T shirt, grab my purse and go shopping, but then I remembered, oh yeah, I’m trying to stay home more. :) 

I asked Fluffy what she would do if she were […]

Awhile back I posted about the arts and crafts area we set up in our living room.  A bit of history:  way back when, when we very first set up an art center, it was set up in the bedroom of Princess of the Universe.  It was a huge success.  She spent many hours creating and crafting.
Then we […]

Sometimes I get this book out..
 
and dream… 
I love, love, love this book, but I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing when I get it out and look at it!  I mean, I can make everyone in the house miserable trying to turn my home into something it simply cannot be without a major rennovation!
My […]

Yes, I finally brought my work computer home yesterday!  Up until now I’ve been working on-site at the hospital, training, and waiting on the hospital IT staff to get it built.  Well, it’s done!  I brought it home yesterday.  Then today I spent some time cleaning up the office and setting everything up. The office has had […]

Note:  See if you can find all five of my office birds… 
Today — again — has been a day of cleaning around the house and continuing to work in the office.  I also took a break to stock up on some groceries.  While out, I stopped by Goodwill in search of a rug.  I did not find one, but I did […]

My office is coming right along and I am totally loving the results!  I may just stay in here all the time… 

The hard work is done – painting, carpet stretching (yes), setting up furniture, and cleaning, and now remains the fun task of shopping and decorating.  I wanted a print above my work station that would allow […]

Yesterday on the way home from dropping the children off at mom’s house, I had a strong feeling something good is at the Goodwill you don’t often visit, but you’re going close by today so stop! 
Ever get a feeling like that?

I was so glad that I stopped in.  The store was nearly void […]

Housework, man!  But in all actuality, I probably did more playing than cleaning today.  I got “stuck” in my daughter’s room and had way too much fun.

Is there anything better than a clean house?  And a homemade quilt on the bed?  Maybe it just doesn’t take much to make me happy.  :) 
I sorted socks and […]

I was thinking that it would be fun to share your very most favorite thing in your house.  Not to be focused just on material things, of course, but do you have something that just makes you happy?  Something that is sentimental?  Something that you hope you never have to get rid of?

My favorite thing is […]
