I bought 4 Panama embroideries 20 years ago, put them in standard oak frames (which I'm going to spray black), and hung them with fishing line which disappears to the eye. A friend customized hooks so I can slip them under the acoustic ceiling tiles and move artwork around. (He bent British art hooks formerly shaped like an S for wood picture moldings in old British houses. Thanks, Idaho.)
A Victorian inspired swimming costume for Snuffle. Complete with bathing cap and trunks.

Raisin bread, Nutella, and banana....yummy!
I did a little work on my 365 Declutter Challenge. I have some items in the donation box, and I organized a spot for the K-cups in the pantry.

I am in Niagara and have been for a bit. I've been tending to my mom's home during the first four days here (redecorating the dining and living rooms, patching up and helping to declutter.) The work I promised to tackle is done and now we are set to unwind, visit, and take the boys around to places we knew when we were kids. I took my sons to Fort George National Historic Park in NotL yesterday as a start on my search to meet the challenge posed to me during my Get Pushed assignment. Fort George is significant as a point of conflict in the War of 1812, know as the Napoleonic Wars in the rest of the world, wherein the US failed in its one and only attempt to to put its doctrine of "manifest destiny" into practice into effect over British North America.

This is a very thrifty/upcycled bag. The only new material used was some thread. The hedgehog was from a pattern that I found in a thrift store magazine. The doily it is stitched on was given to me by a friend, who got it from the thrift store they volunteer at. The buttons were from another friend. The yellow and red fabric was from a friend of a friend, who was moving and had to declutter their craft supplies. I'm very proud of how it turned out.
These are excellent bookshelves or atleast I have been using them for that purpose, to carry all my files and folders. This is a heavy duty rack, again, ofcourse from Ikea.
Was going through a bunch of old stuff I had collected over the years to declutter, and I just couldn't throw this away without at least taking a picture of it.
Today I found various bits and pieces in a box in the garage that my sister had donated for a charity event. These were some of the leftovers. Plus I’d had a sort out in the spare bedroom wardrobe, which is where the animal books, coat hangers and shoeboxes came from.
Clockwise from bottom left:
Farmyard jigsaw puzzle. I bought this to go in a shoebox gift, but it is too large to go in as well as all the other bits I want to put in. I am donating this to another freecycler who will put it in her church Christmas fair.
Various educational books for GCSE and AS level. I have no use for these so they will also go to the church fair.
A bag of coat hangers, the plastic and metal hook type you get given when you buy an item in a shop. We have hundreds of coat hangers so can afford to lose these. I put them on Freecycle, but there were no takers. I ended up giving them to a lady who takes clothes to a homeless shelter – they hang all the clothes up so these should come in useful.
Shoeboxes: I am doing shoebox gifts for Samaritans Purse Operation Christmas Child, and was given these to fill. I had already got my quota of shoeboxes and won’t have enough to fill these as well. I offered these on Freecycle too and they were taken within the hour!
Various video tapes, given to me by my sister for the charity. As they have hundreds already and these didn’t sell, I’ve offered them on Freecycle. These were taken by the same lady who wanted the shoeboxes. She will be taking them to her church Christmas fair.
Another china teapot from when I collected them. This was taken by a freecycler.
An earring holder. In with the stuff my sister gave us that didn’t sell. Off to the church Christmas fair too.
A pill box with the days of the week on it. I had this when I needed to take iron tablets earlier in the summer. I no longer need to use it now, so I’m donating it to my mum, who needs a new one.
SIM card for mobile. Given in with stuff from my sister. I don’t need it and won’t use it, so it will go along to the church fair too.
Eye mask for sleeping on a plane. Again in with stuff from sister, and going to church fair.
Two animal books. I bought these from a charity shop sometime and was going to alter them and make them into mini scrapbooks, but I don’t think I’ll ever get around to it. These went to the church fair too.
Another hodge-podge of bits and pieces today, but they all go towards the grand total of 100 items that will be gone from my house by next weekend!
Quiet of early Saturday Morning. Cool enough to declutter, want to sit and write and connect instead.

View of the art science building in singapore. Taken with a sigma 10-20 3.5. Little bit of editing was required to declutter the foreground.
ok, the design changed a bit. this is the design the pastor preferred - after i already got to the go ahead for a different design and did work on that. but, oh well, at least i have time to change! :)
this is the bulletin shell (imagine this folded, the left side is the back, the right side is the front).
my question is, does this need something else? their theme is SIMPLE - really trying to declutter at the holidays. so, i probably just need to be told simple is good, it's what they want, now leave it alone. but i keep feeling this pull to make it more - but more isn't always better! i just want to make sure the simplicity is beautiful.
any comments?
p.s. the resolution doesn't look great on here, but it looks better in person.
I don't know why I still have this. Come to think of it, I don't know why anyone thought giving stuff like this away was appropriate or useful. We spent a lot of money on logo-junk given away at exhibit halls and a lot of time and energy collecting it and dragging it home. Now I feel the need to declutter -- with logo-junk at the top of the must-go list.
Why would anyone, ever, have wanted a glass 2-button mouse with a trade association logo and URL etched onto it?

I had worked at Goodwill Industries of Rhode Island for 11 years. It was a great place to work, and I thought that I would never again experience the feeling of making a difference in people’s lives. Following a short absence, I had the opportunity to return.
Just prior to coming back to work at the agency, I was going through a very difficult time. My husband had unexpectedly passed away, and my life was turned upside down. Goodwill welcomed me back with open arms, and provided me with a safe environment and much-needed stability. Being of service to others gave me a sense of accomplishment and belonging, and the future grew brighter for me and my daughter.
My current position is vocational evaluator/case manager. I am responsible for helping clients learn about their vocational skills, abilities, interests and aptitudes, and how they can translate into potential occupational areas. In addition, I help individuals identify how they learn best, their emotional and physical tolerance for a work day, and how skills and interests are transferable to different jobs.
As a case manager, I work closely with individuals to guide them through the process of re-entering the workforce, providing support and encouragement along the way.
Goodwill provides a great deal of professional training to keep employees informed of available services, updates to professional standards and other related issues. We also were able to obtain certification for PowerPath testing, which has really helped many of our clients better understand some learning challenges.
I firmly believe that each and every one of us understands Goodwill’s mission, and that we live it each and every day.

19 things Donated on the 19th day of my 30 Day challenge. Today I cleaned out the “linens” drawer in my kitchen (aka towels) along with the storage bin that was holding even more towels, table cloths, extra cloth napkins, extra pot holders. . . you get the picture. In the end I kept 6 of my favorite hand towels, 2 cute whimsical towels, 3 dish towels, and 2 table cloths. And it all fits neatly in a single canvas bin in the storage area of my dining room, instead of crammed into a tiny kitchen drawer that can be better used for tin foil, saran wrap, and just a few pot holders.
Out:
6 kitchen towels
6 cloth napkins I didn’t like
4 pot holders
an apron I never wear
And to hit 19, 2 more shirts out of the closet.
(Canvas bin from the Martha Stewart collection at Home Depot. I love that they're just a touch nicer than the usual canvas storage bins, plus these have labels on the front!)
Today, up to my ankles in old software! The week's project is to redo the computer, including weeding out all of the old software that somehow just accumulates...
CY365: where i stand
This photo is the desktop after drawing the initial sketch, marking up the lines on the original 4X8' plywood, cutting straight edges, jigsawing curves, applying edge banding, and some sanding!
goodbye, Australia.
Flying over Sydney just after take off, on June 20th. I was sitting just behind the wing, so the blur you can see across the middle is from the jets!
