I've been a very busy gal. My art room was such a mess and I have had it. I moved back into the "ugly yellow" room (wrong color yellow). If I knew we were staying in this house, I would paint it a creamy white. Well, I started to organize all my stuff, and oh my goodness, do I have stuff!!! No more yard sales until I use what I have, a promise to myself. I got bins and containers and now everything has it's place. I have one more dresser to go through and I think I'll be done. It feels really good to create feeling organized. After I'm done with my projects, I've promised myself to put everything away where it belongs. I hope I can stick to that rule I've made.
I like these brown cloth cover bins. I plan to make hanging tags to identify each one. Here is the other wall.
I made a little sewing section too!
Walking into the little room.
So that is what I've been doing lately. How sweet some of you have written to ask where I was. All is fine around here. Ron is doing well. Today we are going to see Brenda Bliss (an art buddy) visiting her dad from Tenn. We met Brenda a couple of years ago so it will be great to see her again. I'll share pictures later.
Hope you all are doing great and had a happy 4th here in the US. We did not do anything special. I did reflect on our freedom and the price that has been paid for it. Lindsay, my niece, was home for a couple of weeks. She is still in the Army but stationed in New York. I did not get to see her since my sister lives far from us. Last night I watched a program about the Purple Heart. Lindsay was offered the Purple Heart after she and her team were attacked in Iraq. She turned it down because she felt she wasn't injured badly. Bless her heart. I am very proud of her and all our soldiers who have served and are serving our country. Thank you so much.
I think I am going to create my own Purple Heart for Lindsay.
