I want to smack them! This really bugs me when someone is in a village or small town in, say Italy or France-- they are shown some small house ful of charm--and they expect granite counter tops, huge rooms, and an upscale kitchen. It always reminds me how, we here, are so spoiled! Back to projects--- This one is on my mind night and day. It is a bit sad--as I realize that I will never accomplish all this in my remaining life time--at least in the ADH life style I have. You all know I do have done all kinds of craft things--or, maybe you don't? Cute little things--all my own creation. The Rose Angels are my favorite--as are the puppies or kittens in a basket--made from a glove. Cloth pin Monks-- iridescent twist-ribbon Angels, little Gnomes ans Vikings made from pom-poms and felt. Just 3" tall--with every detail on them. All the supplies fill all kinds of storage boxes and drawers. Many of these projects are half way made--just need finishing. Before I had a computer--I used to sit up late at night making things. Now I sit here on DG 5 timers a day for hours. Also--now I have to do everything that needs to be done--like the yard and garden, plus work 3 days a week. I know many of you are going--"What is SHE complaining about?" I have kids in school and a hubby and household to take care of. Cook meals every day-- do the shopping, etc. Yes! I get it! IF I could just have my DR table totally free of stuff--I could put one project out on it and work at it a bit at a time--but it seems that something always takes up the table. Right now--as soon as I cleaned off the X-mas stuff--all my seed supplies are on there. Need to fill those little baggies with all the seeds collected this past summer. These unfinished multi-craft projects are near and dear to my heart-- Gotta finish them....gotta--b/c no one else knows how to do these. Most of them are my own original creations. As I sit here--at the computer (my CAVE ROOM)-I look all around and see boxes and boxes and drawers full of craft supplies.....a daily reminder of"musts".... And--just now--my daughter gave me 4 packs of plastic binder pages with different sized inserts (like for photos) so I can organize all my recipes which sit around in piles here and there. Yea right! I'll get to that when I can find the extra time. UGH! Gita YEAH! The snow plow just went down my street! This is always a priority, as there are 2 schools on this street. A middle School and a HS. |
