So sorry and some photos

 My goal in 2021 is to blog everyday but yesterday I got distracted by all the shenanigans in Washington. D. C.  The only thing I am going to say about it is that is embarrassing and uncalled for.  Enough said.

I was asked to share some photos of some of the things I have put back into service in my home decor so here we go.




One time I had an antique chest of drawers sitting in a hallway and it was a dark area.  Since there was a base plug there. I asked my husband to make me some sort of a cute, little unique lamp.  So off to the hardware store he went and he came home with a little blue speckled enameled coffee pot and in short order it was a lamp.  It has been painted many colors over the years and I finally decided to pack it away.  Now....it is back on a bookcase lighting up a dark area.  I still like it.

The planters are two that I made in a ceramics group at church.  They remind me of a good time with good friends.  We would buy the items in the greenware state, clean them in class and then my friend would take them to be fired.  Then we would glaze, fire again and voila!  I loved it, would like to do it again, in fact, because it was a great way for a person with no artistic talent to be artistic.  They had been put away for a good while but I decided I needed something else to take care of so houseplants became a thing again.  One is real and one is not and one looks a lot better than the other! I hope I take care of my people better than I do my plants!

So, that is just a couple of things that are now back in my house.  Tomorrow I will share my chenille bedspreads!

An enameled coffee pot made into a lamp/ What a great idea.
In theory I'd like to post every two days on my blog but some days I just have nothing to say. In Spring when my flowers bloom I can go on and on about those. Right now not much happens.

Hi, GM! Yes, I have many days that I don’t have anything to say and sometimes My posts are rather negative and I don’t like that. So I am trying to be more disciplined and more interesting and a LOT less negative.

What to Do While Waiting

 Yes, once again, I am waiting — just biding my time until my surgery appointment on  Wednesday.  Am I nervous — maybe a little — do I still...
