My Friday Finds . . .

 

 

A few of the things I find each week that pique my interest and inspire me to want to do, create, become, etc. Maybe they will also inspire you!     

Mama in a Stitch. Love this blog. It is filled with free patterns, beautifully photographed.  Tutorials.  Videos, etc.   

If you are keen to try something new and love making your own jam, this sounds really delicious.  Blueberry Lavender Jam from Nitty Gritty Life.

 Another bit of eye candy.  I love, LOVE the bedding on this bed and the look of the room in general.  The wood floors, the walls, etc.

Drink your way to weight loss.  Every little helps.  From Fitness Republic.   

And those are my Friday Finds for this week!  I hope something interested you! 

 

So yesterday I built a bookcase.  I got it a few weeks back and it was sitting in a box in the corner waiting to be put together.  I feel guilty always getting Dan to do this stuff, especially when I have a son who lives five minutes away. So yesterday I decided to try to do it myself and I managed. It took me all day pretty much.  The darn thing was heavy.  I took everything out of the box, a bit at a time, laid it all out and then just did the steps one at a time, taking  a break to do other things in between steps. By the end of the day it was done.  Proud of myself. 

 

 

I haven't put anything on it yet, but that's a job for another day.  

Things are getting done slowly but surely. Sorry I forgot to take the blanket off the sofa. I keep it on for when my dad comes over.  At 87 he has a bit of a problem and its just better to have a blanket there than an accident. Same thing with the cushion covers. 

 

 

I think I am pretty much done in here now and can move on to the spare room and my bedroom.  Then all will be finished.

 

 

Oh, I do need to do the curtains in here still. The rods up, but I am waiting on curtain ring/clips to come.  Then I can pull them closed and enjoy some light in here at night.  I sit in the dark at the moment. 

 

 

 

Its looking like a home though, so that's good.  I am going out this morning to take Eileen shopping for clothes, and then I told my dad we would pick our lunch up at A&W and I would get him a Buddy Burger and bring it over to him and we could visit with him for lunch, and then, if its not raining too hard its on down to see mom's grave and put some flowers there. Happy Birthday mom.  I love and miss you.

I'm talking about  Compound Butters today in the English Kitchen.  Delicious. Simple.  Great on grilled meats, poultry, fish and vegetables.
