T Tuesday: March in review edition

Well, that month went by really quickly. I had planned to blog several times, even wrote down an outline during my lunch one day. Never happened. Such is life some times.

There is no way I’ll be able to keep this in chronological order so I’m going to be random like my brain works.

I have been creating a bit…not as much as I have been thinking about creating. Dumb, right!?!?

There are days when all I can get myself to do is look at art and think about what I’d like to do instead of going downstairs and actually doing it.

Like this piece I saved from the trash. I keep thinking about what I want to do with it. Journal covers most likely but I can’t get myself to commit.

One day that I did make it to the craft room, I made these little fairy chairs. They are both fun and frustrating to create. The champagne cage wire is stiff and uncooperative.

This week is my spring break. I’m using my time to tackle some projects such as sorting through all of my fabric and sewing supplies. I want to get them organized in a way that makes sense and makes it easy to find and use.

I’m cutting small pieces into usable scraps that are ready to go. Yes, this is an ongoing project. I think I started it in February. Truth be told…I haven’t touched it in a few weeks.

I did get some of my seeds started which makes me so happy. I still have more seeds to start this week. I feel like I need to put a shelf in my cart and add another light. Hmmm…another potential project.

I’m fully vaccinated! Technically they say you aren’t totally covered until two weeks after the second shot but I’m so excited. The side effects I got from each shot were very manageable. Nothing major and nothing to take me completely out of commission like some people. Mr G gets his second shot next week and Mini-me gets her first this week. J hasn’t lucked out yet on getting his shot. He’ll likely have to wait until he comes back home for summer.

Mini-me had yet another of her “lasts” a couple weeks ago. She had her last archery tournament. And technically her only one this season. It was a virtual tournament meaning they shot at “home” and turned their scores in. They were lucky enough to be able to continue with the tournament because they are Varsity. All non-varsity sports were paused due to an outbreak of a new COVID variant linked to some of the sports teams (not archery).

I usually only brag about my kids but this really made my day. A slideshow was created at school with each of our names on a slide. The directions were to take 10 mins and let some of the people you work with know why they matter. Its cool that its anonymous but not going to lie…I wish I knew who wrote these wonderful things.

I’ll leave you with two of my four new mugs. They were part of a silent auction at school to benefit LLS. There were actually 8 mugs in the set. The gal who won them thought for sure I was going to outbid her. She lamented that she really didn’t need 8 mugs. I suggested that we split them. Perfect! We each get a set of these beautiful mugs.

The potters name is Peter Potter…which just makes me smile.

Before sitting down to write this post, I was pulling out papers to make a new journal. I have been squirreling away all kids of bits of paper and treasures that I want to add to a more personal journal. The last one I created like this filled up super quickly. I’m going to try my best not to put too many pages in each signature so that there is still room to add bulky things to the pages. More to come on that.

    Oh I have those days as well where I think about creating, look at ideas, then don’t actually get something done. And that’s OK.
    Looks like you do have lots of projects to keep you busy!
    Love the slideshow idea, a wonderful way to show appreciation and lift each other up.
    Happy T day!

    Sounds like you have a lot going on. Life gets busy and in the way of things like blogging. But you can always save the pictures and share later.
    Your seeds are looking great. I hope you get all your sewing organization completed on your spring break.
    Such adorable fairy chairs. Do you have a fairy garden?
    Lovely comments from your co-workers. I is always nice to feel appreciated.
    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

      I don’t have a fairy garden but have thought of creating one. I’ve sold some fairy chairs in the past. Who knows what I’ll do with these.

    Thinking about creating is just important as the time spent creating. The little chairs are so cute and clever. So nice that your work appreciates all that you do. 💐 Peter Potter made me smile, too, and now I’m trying to work out a rhyme Peter Potter threw some pots…needs work. Happy T Day

    I’m liking the look of your seeds :) Spring! Congrats on getting shot #2. Mine is scheduled for tomorrow, and I’m looking forward to that 2 week time period being past, because I have some work that needs doing in the house I’ve been putting off. I love that touch of yellow in your new mugs. How sweet that a cooperative endeavor gave you both what you wanted :) Happy T Tuesday!

    You seem to have lots to do in your spring break. I hope you make good headway with your sorting and tidying, something I badly need to do. Love the champagne fairy chairs, so pretty! And great compliments from the other staff members at school. Happy T Day, Valerie

    It sounds like you are having a nice spring break. And well needed too. I love seeing all your random photos. Those fairy chairs are cool too. I wish they’d had done those nice comments at my school. It is nice to get a little boost from your coworkers every now and again. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week and get your projects done. Happy T day. Hugs-Erika

    Well done getting your shots, in Spain they have only started on the over 80’s so I have a while to go!
    I usually have great ideas in my head but when I go to my craft room they very often just fade away
    Those fairy chairs are so cute, how clever.
    Beautiful comments, you deserve to be proud of yourself.
    Happy T Day

    Doll furniture or fairy furniture made from otherwise-rejected materials: what a great idea! There’s so much thrown away that’s too small for real people.

    be safe… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
