Hello Everyone, I am so happy to join in again. I thought I missed one week and may be confused but I think it is 175...Ms. Dunnit at the
STAMPING GROUND has the weekly "What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday" post that lets anyone share their workspace and wants us to visit each other and enjoy all the fun new creations. It's quite the deal. I didn't participate last week as "LIFE" wouldn't allow me to repay any visits or even find my camera or work my way into my crafty area.
But I am more happy to report I spent the day with RAIN falling most of the day in our area. What a blessing. My DH has finished his crops and working his ground, without fires, injuries and better than expected crop yields, despite the dry conditions we had all summer.
I've not been able to even enter my creative space for 2 wks or so but this is what is blocking the path:
The past 2 wks I've moved several pieces from my parents home into my lower level and have been cleaning out the storage room, doing a craft fair, and rearranging crafty things. I am hoping to be finished by next Wednesday!!!! The white chest with the drawers was mine as a child, was a soft green so I did get that painted and moved into this area. I have another piece I want to restore and place on top, but that is going to be a BIG HUGE project. It was in my dads garage for most of its life and has to be power washed, sanded, murphy soaped and repainted.
Last week I had a gal I worked with the past 5 years die of an unexpected stroke and my classmate in Illinois, I spent time with this August lost her husband to an unexpected heart attack. Friday I will work at a funeral of an old family friend. It zaps you to the core but you must go on, as someone, somewhere always has it worse.
Thanks for stopping by, may your week be blessed and you can enjoy some wonderful fall weather.
I hope to have a few posts on our craft fair and my Halloween tag exchange within a few days.

Sorry to hear your sad news Sylvia what a busy few weeks hope things settle soon for you. If I were to photo my space it would look like that as just so little space at the moment.

Condolences - what upsetting news. Glad to hear you're starting to create order out of the changes in your craftspace. The newly white drawers look lovely! Happy WOYWW!

Condolences, what a sad time you are having. Oh dear, your craft room looks busy, hope you soon get it tidy enough to craft. Glad you have much needed rain. We need some sun but it's too late now.
Thanks for sharing -

Sorry to hear about your sad news Sylvia. I think that is the hardest thing about getting older is hearing about the loss of dear friends and loved ones...otherwise I don't mind getting older. Hope you get a chance to work on the piece that goes on top of your white drawers. Have a great week. Vickie #41
Such shocking sad news, it's hard to take in Sylvia. I thank God that these friends have you in their lives to comfort and help. You're so busy, it's a wonder that you can think forward about long term projects. Am loving your enthusiasm over a day of rain..good timing, huh!
What tragedy for you all together so much sadness but you have a good philosophical attitude to get you through. It has all been so busy too so take it easy and don't over do it.
Thanks for finding time to visit....keep smiling...

Sorry for your losses. It is a fact of life as we get older, watching some of our dear friends and family pass, but it doesn't make it any easier. I'm loving your craft space...let me come "help" you...I could clear that space (into my car) is short order! So much to look at here! I can't wait to see how this turns out! Glenda 89
Sorry to hear of your losses...guess we all go through times like that as we get older. Sending you big hugs. Put your thoughts into clearing that crafty space....I'm a big believer in keeping busy at difficult times.
Hugs,

So sorry to hear of all the losses. So many all at once, really is sad.
Wonderful that you got rain and the harvest was good.
You sure have lots to do with the restoration.
Have a great week and I hope it is a better one.

You must be a real treasure to have as a friend - such a good support at sad times. Thinking of you. x Jo
Oh, good heavens, what a dreadful time you've had, my condolences to you and their families. No wonder you haven't had time to tend to your craft room... hope that changes soon, take care till then. Helen, 6
This looks like a fun place to play :) I can't see the top of my workdesk...hmmm :)
You are going through such sad times ... I can see why a day with rain is appropriate.

Sorry to hear of your losses. It's so much more difficult when it's so sudden like this - my Dad died very unexpectedly this time last year of a stroke and it is so very difficult. Hope you are able to get back to crafting soon.

LOL! Lovely SOMEONE likes the rain :D But so sad to read of your recent losses. Life does throw curve balls doesn't it? If the universe was fair you should now be entitled to things going your way for a bit, with more smiles than tears. We can but hope!

So glad you had a good lot of rain Sylvia, I love watching it too. We're supposed to have a wet weekend and I'm actually looking forward to that!! Very sorry to hear about all the sudden deaths for our friends, a very sad time. Hope the reorg goes well and you can get back to crafting in your room soon.

Wow you did well with the chest of draws and renovating it, I wish I had that talent. Your room looks like mine-a disaster-I know the feeling lol. Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend

You have had a tough go lately...take care and nurture yourself too!
It will be wonderful to have your childhood dresser in your scraproom! I have my DH's dresser and night table and use as part of the support for my countertop! I know he has mentioned several times how happy it makes him feel to know they are lovingly used.
Sending good wishes and hugs in this sad time - it always seems to happen in groups, doesn't it? Hope all the funerals go as well as they can...
Good luck with all the sorting out and renovating too!
Hugs, LLJ #50 xx
Sorry to hear the sad news. The saddest part of getting older. Sorting things out and renovating is good for the soul so i hope it helps.
