Storming the bedrooms

Even though the weather outside mid-Ohio right now is pretty nice, low temps 30-ish at night, no snow, patchy sun that’s where I should be, right?! Where am I you ask? “creating a major storm in the bedrooms”!

I don’t know about you but as the holiday progresses everything seems to get dumped into one or two rooms; master bedroom

and my office! In the last few days and mainly today I’ve been tearing things apart and getting stuff put back where they belong.

But, then it gets even more complicated! I decide to oil all my natural furniture, baskets, trunks, boxes, wicker….anything that looks like it

needs a good oiling, even stuff that I don’t think has ever been oiled! I pretend that as I’m doing this and watch the oil soak in and the wood turns color, that a quiet breath is released…….”ah, that feels good! Thank you!” Makes me feel good and I know that at least for awhile that enormous task is done (I have got to stop collecting!!!!!).

Get off the SHELF Elf!

Fav Crochet Book

If you are a crochet designer you collect BOOKS on anything crochet! The Harmony Guide to Crocheting Techniques and Stitches is one of my favorite “go-to’s” when I am deciding on such things as texture and stitches.

Originally published in 1986 a mere thirty-one years ago, this book is jammed packed full of information. I even recall the day I found it in a thrift store in Mountain Home, AR! Taking care of my mother, I didn’t plan to drive 15 miles x2 into town that day, but I went anyway. I remember how tired and exhausted I was, but I told Mom I had to go to town to pick up a few things at the grocery store (I always had a list going!). I was passing by this thrift store, one her and I frequented often and decided to just do a quick walk through. Of course my hunt is always to the book shelves and found this treasure waiting for me! I believe in Angels, yes I do, there is no other explanation for this valuable book waiting patiently just for me!
