One Day at a Time

trying to listen to the little voice inside,

I hope it gets Louder....

~ So much to think about ~

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

Pear down ~

Pearing Down

[so I took alittle liberty in the spelling]

Verb: pare down

1. Decrease gradually or bit by bit
   - pare

Derived forms: pared down, paring down, pares down

Type of: decrease, lessen, minify

I thought it may be a good idea to do alittle

Etsy Sale at this point,

My living situation is in Flux

so Pearing down is in the cards

I Could, Could You....

Maybe you have seen other

posts from Bloggers recently

showing Tiny Homes like these....

The Small {Tiny} Home Movement

With My own living situation up in the air,

this would be a Dream Come True....

[even better if it could be on Wheels]

I Could Really do this,

Could You

Most of these homes are about 400-600 sq ft

No Hoarders allowed

I just wonder where I would store

Wanted: 1 Silver Lining

Every cloud has a silver lining

Meaning

Every bad situation has some good aspect to it. This proverb is usually said as an encouragement to a person who is overcome by some difficulty and is unable to see any positive way forward.

I sure could use some, Happy Thoughts, Positive Energy,

Silver Linings

&

Most of All

PRAYER

Something blind sided me today

I am Hurt, Upset & Angry all at once

Did a bit of Crying, smoked a Cigar (yes, I did)

now on to some Angry Cleaning,

I hope it Keeps me from

Screaming!

Summer Sunlight & Shadows

I Love how the

Sunlight was dancing

thru the curtain

with the Shadows

playing on the wall

The start of a wonderful

summer, playing outside my

front window

I keep thinking I want to change

the window treatment

but,

when I see the Sunshine & Shadows

Dancing,

I think I will keep them for awhile longer....

Have a Beautiful Weekend

Storm Clouds

Forming in a Twilight Sky

I stood outside

Under my awning

watching the clouds race

& gather across the sky

a bit of wind & rain drops

a streak of lightning in the distance

After a Hot day like today

the only thing to cool us off was a Beautiful Storm

&

a whole lotta Rain....

I may not love the Heat....

But, I sure Love a Summer

Sky.....

I hope your weekend was Beautiful

Here's to a Fabulous Week

Ballerina Rag Doll

I had a friend ask me the other day,

if I could make her a Bear or something

for her little

Niece {4} who is

having her 1st

Ballet Recital....

Sure I can

I grabbed my favorite thing to draw patterns on

Old Boxes like cereal & cracker boxes

The cardboard is Perfect & of course I am

Re-Cycling

went thru my Stash of Fabrics

can you tell I decided on a Rag Doll, this

little girl really Loves Dolls, so I thought a

Ballerina would be Perfect

Of course I tried to make Dolly as Kid Friendly

as I could...

I can't believe that I worked on her

All Day Long

I think she took me about 8 hours....

I'm not the greatest on Embroidering faces,

but I think she will like her

Soft & Cuddly

Just what every little

Ballerina Needs

Full Moon ~ Late Night

The Twilight of the Eve

sure started out

Beautiful

&

it is Now

4:30 am,

I'm Still Up

at this time, I can hear the birds starting their

morning outside my windows....

I have been working for hours, getting

ready for a Garage sale that I am having with some

friends, good thing it is at Her house,

cause this place looks like a bomb exploded.

at least I am Purging myself of

many things,

I would not want someone to think

I was a Hoarder

I Just Love "Stuff"

&

Vintage Stuff is My Favorite...

Well, I think I should be getting

a few hours of sleep, tomorrow will

be a long day

A Clean up Tip for Today...

The Corn Meal in my house

is Not for baking or cooking

of any kind....

It happens to be

My Favorite

Tip for

Cleaning up

Messy, Paint filled, Glue Filled

Hands

I keep it in the Handy

Cheese shaker next to the sink

When my hands need that Extra

scrub, I just wet with water

&

sprinkle on the

Corn Meal

extra power with a bit of dish soap

My hands always come out clean & so soft

I actually use it several times a week for my face,

not many wrinkles for almost 55
