I didn’t get any crafting done today, but I sure did do a lot of rearranging!! And I have to tell you…it was not rearranging of the furniture either. It was of all the clothes in my closet and dresser drawers…and was that ever a chore!!
I haven’t really mention it on my blog before, but I made a decision last November to get healthy and to take better care of myself…and I have lost 40 lbs. Along with eating better, Mr. D & I had been walking and lifting weights until I had my gallbladder attack and he had his heart cath. I am so looking forward to getting back to our workouts. Mr. D got word from the heart doctor this morning that he can start exercising again. I can go back to walking also, but can’t do any weight lifting for a couple of months…to make sure I get all healed from my gallbladder surgery. It turns out that Mr.D does not have to take any medicine for his heart… it is his lungs that are causing his heart not to pump down hard enough, because he is breathing too shallow…so he has breathing exercises to do and going back to our exercise program will also help. He has a follow up appointment in a few weeks to see if his lungs are working better.
So…back to my rearranging of the closet and drawers. I needed to take out everything that was too large…decide whether to pack it away or send it off to the GW. I realized that I really need to go shopping…I only have one pair of jeans that fit me. All my Fall and Winter clothes from last year are at least 2 sizes too big for me. I’m happy and sad all at the same time. Happy that I need new clothes, but sad that there really isn’t much in the closet that fits at all. It seems overwhelming when I think about everything that I need to buy.
So after I finished cleaning all of the closet and drawers out…I decided to do some tweaking in the hall bathroom. It all started with putting a candle in there that a friend brought over to me after my surgery.
She got me the block candle with the black star on it, bcause she thought that it would look good with the wood box with stars on it…that I picked up a few weeks ago to sit on the back of the potty to hold the tissue box. And she was right…it looks great and I love it in there.
So then…I thought that my towel rack looked a little too empty above the wood box. I found this basket that fits there perfectly, but I think that I might need to stain or paint it. What do you think? I also need one other item to hang from another peg…think I have to look around the house to see if there is something that I can put there.
Here’s another peek at this area in the bathroom…
To the right is a pedestal sink…which we are going to be putting on a new facet and some antique looking tile behind the facet…between the sink and the mirror.
This is the grouping that is right inside the doorway and to the right of the sink. And the next photo is the cupboard top that is straight across on the wall from the sink and potty. This grouping also needs one more thing…as things look better grouped in odd numbers. Guess, I’ll have to look around the house for something to put there also…but it will have to wait, because I’m all tuckered out!!
Hope you enjoyed the peeking at my tweaking!! Until next time…. prim blessings, Cindy
