My Monthly Goals

Ali Canary @AliCanary (4387) 1 Apr

Since I haven't been working, I've decided to be more ambitious about reading and making art. I have a lot of books here at the house that I haven't read, and books you don't read are just clutter. I also have a lot of art...

We're back from a short trip to Tagaytay for some rest, fresh air, and church visits. We stayed overnight at Quest Hotel - a nice, small hotel that's right next to a Filinvest mall. I thought that was really convenient. We were...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381760) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Feb 25

One of the items I brought back from my sister-in-law’s was this pack of 24 wooden dolly pegs. I remember my mother having these before the spring-type ones became available and later plastic ones of course. What I was surprised...

A cushion cover in the making perhaps

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381760) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Feb 25

I’ve spoken about helping my sister-in-law tidy up her junk room. She had a great many unfinished patchwork and sewing projects languishing in plastic tubs. It’s hard to just throw away stuff you’ve been looking forward to doing....

To keep or to throw?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381760) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Feb 25

I’ve been helping my sister-in-law empty out her junk room and, in the photo, you can see a corkscrew which she doesn’t want. It’s made of iron and fits very nicely in the hand. It would make quite a handy weapon if you were...

The photo is of one for the rooms of the dolls’ house I wrote about last discussion. Vince’s sister is the matriarch of the family. She has a heart of gold but can also be very abrupt. She has retired now but was a nurse and is...

I'm a recovering hoarder. I hoard two things, craft supplies and papers. Papers like old medical EOBs, kiddo's report cards, legal documents. I don't hoard newspapers or trash. The craft supplies are the worst. But the really...

Have you heard of this?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (51811) • St. Catharines, Ontario 7 Oct 24
