A slow start to simplyfying our lives!

I wish I could say that I have been busy, but not really.  I have had moments of busy, but the weather has slowed us down a bit.  A lot of cold, snow, melting, rainy, stormy, warm.  A Typical winter in Michigan!!

Over a week ago I finally followed through and loaded all of my glass studio up and Tracy Bell and Melissa Mesara came and hauled it away!  It is now in lots of loving homes of Michigan glassaholics!!!  That makes me happy!!!

I am currently working on figuring out what has to go away in my craft room.  Of course it doesn't help that I bought more stuff! LOL  OK, so it is smaller stuff and I know it still may go before this is all over, but it was a great $$$.  It is punch embroidery, that I did years ago.  My first plan of attack on the craft room is to use up as much as I can and finish projects that I have all the pieces and parts for! Then we will dump the big stuff!

As I mentioned, I found a pile of supplies for punch embroidery cheap and it has great resale value so that was the original thought.  But since embroidery is one of the things I regularly do and plan on keeping, I thought this would add to the ability to really get creative with it!  We shall see!!  I remember using this to blow away fellow students when I had to put presentation boards together for Design Classes.  I could whip up miniature carpet and rug samples for my boards!!!  Those younguns didn't know what the heck it was, but it sure looked good! LOL  Here is my haul....less than $10!!


Kylee had a bout of back problems, but ANOTHER Vet visit and she is good to go now!  Dozer is just the sweet boy he always is!!  Other than being skinnier than I want, the Vet said he is healthy as a little pony! 

So next on my hit list is the Front Closet!  I know there are lots of things to get rid of in there.  I just got Todd's Varsity Jacket out of there a month ago!  But anyone need cement duck clothes, bags of dog hair, and enough coats and jackets to keep two more families warm!!  Time to downsize, donate, and chuck!!!

  1. Cement duck clothes. That took me a few seconds to figure out.
    A bag of dog hair. I know what you're talking about but someone else out there reading this right now is scratching their head going "what the hell?"

    1. I do have two cement ducks out front and probably 30 plus outfits that I collected over the years. You have a Holiday or a Celebration....I have an oufit for it!

      Your right, the dog hair was for the afghan that I made for Shannon. If people didn't catch that I spun it into yarn it would be difficult to figure out what I was doing with it! I have been given permission to dump all that is left!!! Shannon figures if she can vacuum it all up at her house and throw it out, the bags I have are of no sentimental value!! LOL

      OK, everything clear as mud now??
