WOYWW #378

Welcome, it's actually the Wee hours of  Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday.  But I slept good, got a roast, garden potatoes, carrots and onions in the crock pot for today's lunch. My plan I'm off to my craft area today and will finish up putting out my fall decor.

My desk is Fall and Halloween goodies, I don't at present have a drawer ready to store these seasonal items, but for  now, it  will be handy in the wire rack. I'm trying to eliminate " rubber maid" in my storage area.




.I worked with "lots" of tomatoes yesterday and that is about all I need of those luscious fruits. We had heavy rains the past few weeks, so there are a lot of mosquitoes and flies out doors  Not my cup of tea. DH is almost done with gardening also. We had delicious Cantaloupe the past few weeks and watermelon will be just a few more days.  Both are some of my favorite summer foods.

Join in with WOYWW this week by stopping by our hostess Julia's blog at the  STAMPING GROUND.  Enjoy a lovely week,  thanks for visiting.

WOYWW #377


Welcome,  I am so happy to be back and participate in WOYWW once again. Our hostess Julia is back and she has all the info  on her blog  Stamping Ground
I truly haven't spent much time at my crafty desk all summer, I have straightened and organized a few things. Adding my 2 smaller machines next to me may help with stitching on cards and learning to use this Serger.  I will not buy any machines again if they don't offer lessons.

 A few new items to the left and a few unfinished to the right.

Update on my summer, new bathroom is here at my  LittleTreasures blogspot.

Thanks for stopping by I am anxious to be able to visit this week. Have a great week.

Back to Reality

Welcome,  It seems I've been missing in action for over a month.  I guess it is summertime and I just got behind in so many things, I had to step away and "Get 'er Done".   The best time away was spent with my grandchildren visiting.  The 3 Iowa kids were here 4 days and the following week my son, his wife and 3 girls from D.C. were here 4 days also.

We had such great weather, to enjoy great fun with them. We went to the County Fair, local swimming pools and parks, a movie, made smores' over an open evening fire one evening. Grandpa took them 4 wheeling, on tractor rides, showed them how happy the cows get feeding them corn, visiting great grandma, having fun meals with relatives and just enjoying laughter while chilling out at home.

With windows washed, bathroom finished, guest beds refreshed, flower beds weeded, refrigerator cleaned and restocked, computer and photos updated, attending a few more funerals, a couple of birthday parties, and an ER visit and another day dealing with kidney stones, and tonight celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary, I think I'll have sometime to get back to normal !  Oh wait the idea of fall decorating is not too far away.


 I want to paint the mirror and light fixture a black yet.

This is the old vanity, walls and flooring.  I am happy with the updates.



I forgot to mention, working with garden vegetables. He grows a garden too big for us, but loves to give away the things he grows. I did freeze beets, green beans, corn, used zucchini, tons of cucumbers, he made pickles also. Now dealing with the best cantaloupe and tomatoes. I made some juice yesterday.  He has carrots and potatoes to dig and that will about wind it up for this years edible harvest.  He also tried gourds, decorative corn, pumpkins, will keep you posted on those things as they ripen.
