My Summer Patio!
I am enjoying planting many flowers on my patio. I have not been able to plant much in the past few years, or decorate it, due to my illness. I am so happy I feel so good, and can garden again.

my weekend

I once again "tore up" my sewing/guest room. I have to get all the shelves, and table organized..and so I just took my supplies, etc and put them on my day bed. Put one of my bookshelves in between my kitchen and living room..so it has given me room to put a long table on one wall in my sewing room. It will hold my sewing machine, etc. I am finally beginning to put supplies on shelves..have all the shelves in their final stop! I made a shelf I had bought at Michaels. Michaels has this awesome looking desk/ shelves set you can buy..I have bought the ribbon and shelf holder thing. and then one large shelf with six cubbies. I thought I would do the whole room with these sections from Michaels..but it is not worth the price..even getting them with my discount coupons. JUst FYI..it is a lot of sectionals you can use in different ways, including a desk...but, of course it is the pressed wood..and really flimsy. I would just begin putting a screw in and the board would come off the shelf. So I decide to use my table, instead of getting the sectional desk. I like the different pieces..but now am afraid they will fall apart..so will got with my shelves from WalMart..the white section ones..I really like those, and know they will hold a lot, and not fall apart..well..after all that I sat and watched Dear John..great little romantic movie..and Invictus..great movie..I was really tired, after all that..watered all my plants outside..grabbed a book I am reading, and went to bed and read a while, before turning the light out for the night. Today is a new day..am dog sitting my grand dog right now...then will go home, and work some more on my sewing room..will take apix as to how I am doing on it..hope I can make it look a little organiZed today. I have been trying to think of my color schemes..think I may go with yellow...will be nice and bright for the cold days of winter.So will watch a little CNN now, while waiting for my daughter to come get my grand dog..by the way his name is Favor..he is a foxhound..a very kind and loving dog..will have to get a pix of him for this blog.

  1. Hi Sue - sounds like you are having a busy weekend!
    Sorry the shelving units/desk you wanted are too flimsy to use. Sounds like you have a plan though and Am really anxious to see your completed sewing room!
    My younger sister was visiting for 4 days and left to go home today ( to Michigan), I'm missing her already but will see her in 2 more weekends when I hitch a ride to MI with my daughter and her boyfriend. We had a great visit.
    Love you new Fall Doll - she's a real cutie!
    Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
