Monday Thoughts

 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
I can't believe it's Monday already.
I wonder where last week has gone...
 
I did get a couple of projects finished last week! One was a closet conversion. Tim and I turned our office closet into a sewing nook for me.
More about this later this week!
 
I will share my small kitchen pantry conversion with you today.
I actually finished this closet before we went west to the Yukon last Fall, but I didn't have a camera at that time to take a photo to share with you.
As you can see I went a little crazy with the scrap paper squares!
I do like how it turned out, if I may say so myself.
Ha! 
I haven't started using it yet, but I think this little nook will work great for my blogging!
 
 

 
 
Here is a closer look at the stool that I painted to match the little office nook.
I'm sorry to see that the photos are so rotten. I can't figure out why they are so fuzzy.
They were clear in my photo gallery-very strange.
 
 The forecast this week is for below zero temps again.
Fortunately I have tons of things to keep me busy inside.
Hope your week is beginning with a smile.
Kimberly

    Kimberly,

    I love your desk and stool to work from, great conversion!!!

    I hope you and your husband had a beautiful Easter?

    The cooler weather I would rather have than tornadoes. Severe weather expect for us this week Monday through Thursday.

    Stay warm!!!

    I am loving what I see so far..perfect to have a little place for it all. I did alot of embroidery last week (it's on my blog now) and I thought about you while I was doing it. I don't know anyone else with a machine. I am excited to see what you turn out. The stool is adorable! Have a good week..

    That's cute, Kim! I hope that you get to mostly look at the stool without having to sit on it long. It would never work for my blogging! LOL! Perhaps that's the trick to time management.

    I really like the way you used scrap paper squares to decorate the nook. And the painted stool is cute, too!

    Darling! You are so talented! The pictures look clear to me....maybe your eyes are tired? What a cute craft nook.
    You have below zero? Doesn't Spring come to the Yukon? LOL!
    Your painting on the stool is so pretty. It reminds me of Dutch designs. did you copy it or just think it up yourself? Very pretty!
