spent time today putting away all the hearts and refreshing the living room table…
often at this time of year I would be filling it with rocks and shells, but that seems a little early…
I gathered up all the silver and purple ornaments and took them downstairs…
then I put some Chihuly calendar pictures in the four squares and added a few other items… one square has my gardening books as I’ve been looking through them to work on the garden design for the summer…
another has a few of my favourite children’s books in it, and some cards with fun pictures of time on Maui…
this morning I learned something new… well, a few things, lol… I wanted to watch my daughter in a Live on Instagram, and thought I would watch it on my laptop…
searched the internet and discovered I could download an app from the Microsoft Store so that I would be able to…
downloaded it, but of course there were no Lives happening in my feed and the time to watch was getting closer… by then I had both my phone and the app open, to be sure I wouldn’t miss it… just before she was to come on, someone else started a Live and I could see it on the computer screen… yay…
happily watched the presentation and then decided that I would follow the directions to make a pocket for the back of myChocolate Notebook…
went to my chocolate bar box and looked for a wrapper to use… I don’t have many bars just now and no empty wrappersbecause I send them to my daughter who uses them for a number of things…
I found a Soma Twinkle Bar that I love and decided to use the back of the wrapper… it has the saying “travelling without moving” which seemed perfect, especially these days… I enjoy everything from Soma and not long ago put in an order with a friend to help with the shipping costs…
I put the washi tape into a regular scotchtape dispenser and it worked perfectly…
used mountain scape washi tape to go around the wrapper on the three sides, following the directions provided by Genevieve and then I added tape across the top, on the wrapper only, so that it looked framed!
it was fun to find a new way to see Instagram, although a bit stressful with the timing… and fun to make something…
on January 31st I picked up a project that had been sitting in my closet for at least two years…
it was a partially crocheted blanket that I had started and then walked away from… it was going to be for the bed, but I think it is a little small for that…
I decided to work on it for the 100 Day Project, so I’ve been doing a row or two each evening…
last night I finished it;-)… it is going to be great to cuddle up under in the den…
