Busy Busy Busy

   




    







              
                                          Busy Busy Busy....



               I have 2 part time jobs and praying for another one - the one I want. I also help friends when they need a helping hand. It has been my Helping Hand has had me quite busy these past 2 weeks. I am enjoying my busyness but missing you here. And my next few weeks will be full - Summer vacation, those Heroes of my in the Big City need their fav Auntie - my kids birthdays are coming faster now each year - plans of moving, maybe Horsetown (where I am Now & want to stay) or Big City or North; God has my path. Would love to find an apartment I could afford, but it may just be a room to rent. It is not that I am no longer wanted where I am now it is just past time for me to be on my own. I am even thinking of a Tiny House.
                    Tiny Houses are the new craze of residences. Basically it is trailer living and you, the owner builds four walls and a roof with the amenities. The building part I can skip and just go straight to the Trailer Fairy. This can work once I get the job I am praying for. The Trailer Fairy will say yes they would love to finance me for 500 a month for the next 2 years..... see why I need to go to the Trailer Fairy .....  hahaha.

          Today, one of my Heroes will be graduating school, I am so proud of him. He has grown up to be an amazing man of God.

Poor Little Teacup









     When I had the book shelf  in my room; I had also place a few Tea Cups for show on the top. Once the shelf was cleared and books sorted out, I left them on a low table next to my desk chair. As you can see this one didn't fair to well sitting there.
   It has been a busy week for me, work & doing some Office Switching/Moving at Church, that I have not been able to glue the teacup back together. I may not ever drink tea out of it again but it is one of my favorites and pretty to look at.
           Things should calm down this week enough to get back at this Room Arranging Project. I know it is a corner at a time kinda project with my resources I really can't afford to go out and buy new things. What I can do is get creative and use what I have and make the impact I want in here.
It is a good thing I am a bit creative and like to spend time browsing Pinterest. I like to see others creative solutions for small spaces. What solutions do you have for small spaces?
      


   Today I am posting this late because of a Picnic of my sister's. It was awesome even though it was a bit windy. The guest are coworkers at her office and it is great to see them since I know most of them. I enjoy going to these functions with her and having the chance to catch up with them. Now I am in need of working these projects.... or maybe just a little catnap ....zzzz.


                                       until next week, keep those thoughts and projects going,

This Corner....



   For a while now I have wanted to rearrange my room but having everything fit like Tetris on the walls, makes for moving difficult. Then yesterday I began to do some Spring cleaning - starting with my books. It lead to doing the rearranging instead of thinking.



   The shelf is a 12x12 wire snap together, I love them they are great for organizing and keeping stuff.
                                               
                                   my Definition of Stuff: pretty items that collect dust
                                              and are near impossible to throw away
                                              or give away.  trinket, novelty, gewgaw,
                                              (my fav) bibelot, bauble, curio 
     
     Today it is in my storage shed out back with just a few books that I am reading sitting on the floor, making a bedside table Tetris.





   You can see that my Photo Project is still in effect - evident here on my chair. That is also the corner of my desk; a desk that I want to put fully in my closet. Hopefully I can have the Rearrange done by the end of the month.

    I did find this book... it is of pasted magazine pictures; Pre-Pinterest era. I love the ease of Pinterest, pinning ideas - decorating, cooking, places/travel, crafting DIY's. The only problem with it is never enough time for all those awesome projects.




   The neat thing about Spring cleaning is finding stuff. Stuff that I am learning I have a lot of and I can either rework the trinket or find someone who can give the trinket new life. This has me still looking for those trinkets to make up a Summer look around here.

 

      Well, I'm off to some more Spring Cleaning and getting another corner sparkling and getting my all books back in here.

                                   much love, Mia

On a Search...





  After finishing the Bird Cage vignette I went in search of a Summery look. A look that is different for my usual go to - my Tea Cups, as you see here






                      and here

   
                     only I want something new and with roses like this



So this week I will come up with a new look using Roses, Tea Cups, and Summer.

It seems that I am having technical difficulties with my laptops. I am hoping to have my newest one - Lewie looked at next week. Dutch my older laptop, well he's just old & slow .
I am now trying to finish this with my phone. I was also trying to add pictures of Lewie Newie & Dutch (Dutch for the Dutch Bros coffee stickerit sports) 


Well, have an awesome week until next time.
Mia

Oh and all you Mommas out there have an amazing day tomorrow.
