MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPRESSED

how much that they like my bed - so I thought that I would show
it to you. I'll show you the rest of the room later.

I LIKE HAVING MY WALLS...

in my bathrooms free of any toilet tissue
hardware and as much clutter-free as possible. I like to keep these
bathrooms uncluttered. According to Feng Shui this is the
section where my genealogy should be. So I designated family
photo's to above the toilet. Seems like a good place for it. Its time
to paint the walls & change that ugly floor tile!

FOR MANY YEARS

in fact for at least 9 years - this paper towel holder has
been attached to the inside of the cabinet door in our downstairs
bath room. But it has never held paper towels a day in its life -
it has always held toilet tissue. The cabinet door can be easily reached
to open. Besides the clutter inside the cabinet - the room is
uncluttered. If you would like to use this idea - then go ahead -
just please say that you saw it here! I will post my little half bath for all
to see - from Hopblogger


DO YOU OWN ONE OF THESE.....



this has to be the most littlest bath room
that you ever did see. It is my
upstairs bathroom - the bath that you see at
the top of the stairs when you look up. Have you
ever seen such a tiny bathroom? REALLY, THIS SHOULD
BE AGAINST THE LAW!
If I didnt need an upstairs bathroom for guests
then I would rip it all out & make an extra closet --
hmmmm - I think that is a good idea!
Too bad - for I can only think this I cannot
actually do it. Telll me if you have one of these closet bathrooms.

Here are several pics


of my dining room - I hope that you like them. My husband graciously measured & put my glass curtain rod finials above the windows to hang my green toile valances. Beneath are very short brass rods to hold the matching curtain panels - these panels do not open or close (since I do not have a need for privacy in this room). The lace panels are simply threaded with string & tacked up onto the center of each window above the window molding. They do not move either as I enjoy looking out of this big bay window. OOPS! seems like I need to straighten up my china cabinet - its a little messy & cluttered from the holidays. Sure do hope that you like my curtains & valance that I made - be sure to click on each photo for a larger view -- click, click

BRIEBY



I hope Brieby likes this blue color. These beautiful Victorian Alphabets were found at http://www.feutrineelpetitescroix.fe/. But I cannot find them there anymore. These alphabets are large. Asha graciously has given to us a website where she has found them. Click on this new link to get the PDF for these alphabets. http://www.uneaiguilledansunebottedefoin.net/28-categorie-641086.html

In Case You Were Wondering

I have been so busy - - - - -

since I have learned how to cross stitch
that I have been
forgetting everything else that is important -
and now I have company
coming in from Florida that are staying for a week!
Relatives that I havent seen since I was
a young child. It is going to be exciting to meet them!
Could you use a new pincushion?
If so, then
take a peek at this tutorial on how to make a
pincushion from 1 or 2 of those pesty CD'S that come into
your mailbox or use ones that you already own. Please give the
address time to load & to translate into
english

the Aluminum foil cardboard roll - because it is a stronger

PAPER TOWEL CARDBOARD ROLL

We all want for some organization in our lives and we
all can use the little ideas that come our
way - so every little bit can help when it comes to finding a
place to put your things away in a sewing room. No matter
how big or how small the area is there are still
ribbons, laces, needles, scissors & the long list still continues on. On this
page there are 2 ideas for storing laces & ribbons, string,
braids or cords- one deals with everyday cards
that you receive - which is a no brainer - so why didnt I think of
that one! I dont know
I guess that I had a brain cramp.
The other one on the same page is
a cute little tutorial that is SUPER EASY for holding your
laces or ribbons - MADE FROM A PAPER TOWEL CARDBOARD ROLL!
It doesnt get any easier than that folks!The directions are
in English also. It is easy to cover & looks
really nice - you could even get really elaborate or fancy with the
fabric that you cover it with. I tried to click for a picture
for you but was unable to do so - so you
will just have to take a look at this cheap trick,
click on the highlighted words paper towel cardboard roll and have
some fun on your desk!
