Almost two years without blogging August 2020

Life can be a bowl of strawberries when cheries are not available.

 

It has been almost two years since I have been in this blog.  I have so many things to share and so many things to say, but I will keep it simple.  I have been evolving at work.  I have been searching for a job in Sacramento, but nothing thus far is available.  I will continue to search.  I do love my job at DOR, but it would be nice to walk to work.

This was originally to be posted on August 2019, yep so this is what I did during the summer as a summer project.  I have been doing a lot of home improvements for myself that is.  I took my Venus Fly trap outside, I have to post new pictures as it has grown a lot.

 

 

 

 

 

 I got this furniture from Ikea.   It was pine and you know how that looks.  I got some furniture stain paint and painted my furniture this beautiful color and I love the way they look.  Two dressers and two night stands.   I wanted to upgrade the furniture so that it look nice and warm to the eyes.

 

This same summer of 2019 I discovered this copper spray and went a little crazy.  This lamp was the perfect subject. It is metal and it was a beige like color.  I liked it then, but I wanted it to be copper, it is a color that is within the scope of the oranges that I like. The look of the lamp is beautiful and it has a magnificent texture. I got it from one of the thrifts stores, they were more of the same style I should have gotten two, lol.

 

This is my first blog  entry in two years I believe. I have like a flashback  that will come in the next blog entry as I move along in life.  I had no idea how much I missed blogging until I wrote laughing out loud lol, which now has turned into an emoji.  Life has changed in the two years  since I moved to Sacramento.  There is a Pandemic, we have a heat wave like never before and there are fires everywhere.  More in  other entries.  

So this that  you see is the cutest TP cover I have ever made in my life.  I forgot the pattern, but I promise I will make another one and will tell you the pattern  and the designer. 

 

This Octopus was from this book I got Creature Knits I think. It has a lot of fun knits for you to practice making toys.  This octopus was a lot of fun to make.  I was able to put pipe cleaners inside and it becomes a completely new creature.  This designer is amazing.  Again next time I will post more info.  I have the mojo for blogging back and I don't want to stop.  I am also going to do some You Tubing.

 

Those are dryer balls.  I decided to create those as a gift  for last Christmas-Solstice celebration.  I gifted myself a set and I can tell you these work.  My dryer balls are from natural wool.  I did not want to deal with colored or dyed wool.  These came out great and I thought were a good gift idea.

 

Well here we go,  2020 has been a year of challenges and growth, I am back once more.
