Tolentreasures

But first, we will start with something a little more "gentle". Love to paint roses.  They are my most favoite thing to paint. Every now and then I have to revert to them. They don't always sell well. Still love to do them. Finished the rug, also. If you crochet or knit, these are great rugs. They wear really well and wash up perfectly. Made from old t-shirts. Here is the link. T-Shirt Yarn I just single crochet them with a big hook. And now, For the mouse migration. Disclaimer: This is an actual picture of our pantry. No touch-ups, airbrushing or filtered lenses. This is it, folks. I didn't straighten or move anything. (please believe me, I am not a crazy hoarder despite what JWS says) So, this story would not be complete without a brief synopsis of the First Great Mouse Migration. July of 2004 Jennifer, the first born of the group (and the one with the messiest bedroom) gets married. She says that she will move her stuff out little by little. JWS, through no prom...

Happily sitting over a humming sewing machine, finishing up some gift bags that I found started in a stash, (thanks, Kim) I was rudely dragged away grabbing projects as I left.  You see, with the cold snap, the Heat Nazi, otherwise know as JWS, has decided that until it warms up, I am not allowed to sew.  His words, "You have enough other places to craft in this house, you are out of here until it warms up...we are not heating this room!' The nerve! I guess I will paint. No idea what to do with the white cupboard doors in the  new stash, and even more puzzling was the beadboard ones, I tried this.  And a mailbox bank for a customer.   And...I guess I can still knit until it warms up. Although, I have to fix a bowling glove thing for my son-in-law this morning, Where is my winter coat? Can I really sew with mittens on?
