Success! If you were reading my blog, do you remember my new list of 7 areas (these are all in plain sight) to clean up/purge/ put things back in their homes? All of our set backs were making me depressed, so I dove full speed ahead into my list.
I have now checked off 4 of those 7 areas, and it has been heaven to wake up and start my day. I would otherwise get side tracked, or be outside. Anyway, my kitchen is back to neat and clean, and tidy. I filled the truck with more donations (can't believe I found more stuff).
In the process to clean off the kitchen table, and my computer desk area, I had craft projects that needed to be finished, and put in craft show totes (or boxed up for gifting).
I finished that pair of crochet wired beaded earrings. I finished a pair of crocheted candy corn earrings, I finished the wedding penny (and created packaging for it), and I finally got the magnets glued to the backs of the small clip boards (for fridge shopping notepads for gifting).
My Word on my computer stopped working, so I used an Avery template with 2 x 2 stickers I had on hand, and put them on cut pieces of card stock for the packaging. I also had the resealable bags and safety pins. It felt great to get all of this done and put away. I was temped to make a few more of the wedding penny crocheted flowers, but put those supplies away until the list of "7" areas are done.
By the way, the penny flower can be given with other poems about a "lucky" penny. It doesn't have to be a "wedding" penny. That is just what I needed it for. Pattern is free on YouTube.
My husband intentionally took the weekend off but, he needed to mow. Today, all I wanted him to do, was install the upstairs AC. Instead, he insisted we remove the main window unit downstairs, hose it down (literally, and have no idea why), and put it back in. However, the unit will not work, as he got something wet he shouldn't have. He's tried to dry it out, and what not, but to no avail, we are roasting in this house.
I won't be working so hard today, and maybe not tomorrow. I may be opening windows and buying some fans. We don't really have the cash to buy a new unit after the $4400.00 we spent to repair the truck. Lord have Mercy on us, more so my husband, because I'm not a happy wifey right now.
Toodles, and Happy Sunday!
