Hello Everyone!
I hope you're all doing well, keeping busy and staying healthy and strong. Well, here it is Thanksgiving week and we are still dealing with yet another lock-down; now being called a "freeze" which sounds even worse somehow. IF that's even possible. Sigh. But to keep from sinking into despair under these trying times and circumstances I refuse to dwell on that.
Instead, comedy (and irony) abounds. It's turkey hunting season in the northwest woods and as happens every year, wild turkeys take refuge in town. I passed a flock of them in a deserted playground yesterday and another pack walking along side the road heading in that same direction. Turkeys roosting on your roof, as they are sometimes known to do, is no laughing matter I assure you, but still I can't help but laugh.
Thankfully, we don't have turkey's roosting on our roof, but our house has been taken over by a happy flurry of arts and crafts. My needle has been flying! My fingers are often sticky with glue or paint or sparkling with glitter. I have a zillion ideas of things to make and do. The longer I stay at home and ponder, the longer the list becomes. My etsy shop is filling up with lots of little things. And I have started another room-box project!
The boxes keep getting BIGGER. . .
It all started when the new microwave-oven arrived to replace the old one that broke. I don't actually use it to cook in, but rather to warm up my neck wraps. I really wish they would make a shoe-box size one just for that purpose so I wouldn't have to have this thing taking up space on my counter. But the box came in handy. I realized it was just the right size for my next project! Got to work on it right away utilizing some vintage Laura Ashley wallpaper I had stashed away. It was perfect and set the tone. I'll show you the finished box in the next post. Still waiting for paint to dry....
In the meantime, I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner wherever that is and with whomever you're with this year. Make the most of it and don't forget to enjoy the absurd humor along the path of these crazy times we find ourselves in.
Happy Thanksgiving Vicki!!
