I Have Not Even Made A Dent In Cleaning The Studio

Not really, anyway. Not nearly as much as I need to do.

But how nice is that stack of books?!

The Beginning Of DeCluttering

 Oh Boy. I finally walked into the studio and started dealing with the piles that I am SO good at leaving perched on top of my crafting desk.

Long Drawn Out Sigh.

 I am really, really good at piling, hmmmm? Just to clarify, there is nothing on the floor. I like to pile my things on top of tables!

Let's see what can get done this morning...

This Might Be The Best Thing I Have Found On Pinterest Yet

Another one of my big goals over the summer is to actually do more of what I find inspiring on Pinterest.

(So add that to my list of: getting organized, decluttering, making new foods, losing weight, thrifting, doing fabulous things to my space at Memory Lane and in my Etsy Shop and making memories with my family that will last a lifetime...)

Making this little treat off of Pinterest was definitely quicker and nearly life changing. Ever since the winter-before-last and my freaky bout with pneumonia that landed me in the ICU, I have been a little over the top about breathing in anything such as heavily scented candles or plug ins. So when I saw this pin and was told how goooooood it smelled (like Williams-Sonoma!) I grabbed the ingredients and let it simmer away.

It. Smells.Wonderful.

And more importantly? It got rid of the smell of BROCCOLI in my kitchen within minutes.

Here is what you do:

Slice a Lemon

Add a few springs of Rosemary

Pour in a couple tsp of Vanilla

Add water and simmer.

Easy Peasy and again, it smells soooooooo good and I don't have to worry about any of us breathing it in.

March 13th at Memory Lane

 The booth has been keeping me busy the past few weeks...still doing a lot of marking and rearranging and fluffing...

And a serious amount of books are being passed on to other book lovers!

Cardstock and Vintage Frames...

All have been added to the booth at Memory Lane!

Enjoy your weekend,
Sonya

Booth 316 at Memory Lane

Good Morning! Thought you would like to see what the booth looks like without all the Valentines Day hearts and red accents.

I pulled in a wooden shelf along the left side so I could add a few more shelved items instead of hanging right now. It is pretty dark and not very Spring-like, but it is serving its purpose at the moment.

All the kitchen items are new-to-the-booth as well...most of them are larger and make for a shipping nightmare, so right now will see if they get sold here or if they will be moved over to the Etsy Shop.

I have SUCH a weakness for vintage kitchen...it is so difficult to walk past these fabulous cake stands and serving trays and not scoop them up. They all represent such a lovely era!

Today is going to be spent in the Studio creating some fun framed goodies, cleaning up some computer files and getting book work and tax information pulled together for my accountant. Hmmmm...I think the 'work' will get done first and then the 'play'.

Enjoy your day,
Sonya

Snow, Fevers, Legos and Music

Well, Good Wednesday Morning! How it is Wednesday, I am unsure. We had a snow day on Monday. Tuesday Bud went back to school, but Lu was still home with a fever and a deep need for sleep and iced apple juice. Today, everyone is feeling good and are where they are supposed to be!


My lamp post pretending to be in Narnia



 By late Monday afternoon we were done playing and shoveling the snow, done reading our books, done watching movies and just simply done in general. Which was the perfect time to bring out the Harry Potter Lego's that I had set aside just for this type of moment.

 Bud is really into Lego's right now. Big Time. So much so that I keep eyeing the Harry Potter Hogwarts Lego Castle every time I go to Target...just waiting for that baby to go clearance.

Let's see...snow...fevers...Lego's...Music! If you scroll down to the very bottom of the blog, you will find the music that I am listening to right now. It changes often. I am LOVING the Cold Play single!

And now, I am off to visit Memory Lane and remove a whole lotta construction paper hearts.

Enjoy your day, Sonya
