Day 36 - fairy gardens

And let me say, I KNOW I'm 20 days behind.... I SHOULD  be on day 55 (or there about) of my 100 happy days.  But a wise woman once told me I should never say "should".  And so I try and avoid saying it to myself and others.... but I end up saying it to myself A LOT.

As a side note, when I was a sassy-mouthed teen, I once said to my dad "I told you so".

Ohh... never again.

And this is one phrase I've been good at NOT repeating.

It's so condescending and rewd.... I'd even go as far to say a bit narcissistic.

And the hardest time I've ever had not saying it is to my children.

^^Random^^

Moving on....

For like 7 or 8 years now I've been wanting to create a little fairy garden.

When Ally was younger I bought these books:



And more than anything I wanted the two of us to find some secluded spot and build our own little garden....
But alas, it only ended up ever being a goods intention.  I have a whole garage full of good intentions.  I'd have it made if this life's reward was based on intentions.  LOL!

So, finally, as Ally got older, I decided to make one I could have here at home.... and after years of collecting little things to go in it, I'm finally starting it today.  Because I have all the little plants and the big guy keeps saying if I don't get them planted, he will.  And who knows what it'll end up as if that happens.  Actually, it might be kinda fun to do it together.  But prolly not, as he is mega busy and all about finishing everything in a timely manner.... not a fashionable manner AT ALL.  He's such an ant.... and I'm such a grasshopper.  Oh my.

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Turning the full-of-stuff-bins in my garage into an etsy store

It's time. I've been chattting this up for years.... YEARS. Been cleaning out my garage. Getting rid of soo soo much. Have sold a ton of stuff and donated lots. But there's still so much fabric, paint, wood, floral supplies, paper, jewelry making stuff... you name it, it's out there. I even have friends that will call up sometimes and ask if they can "come shop in my garage".  I dare not even put a round-about dollar tag on it all. The only way I can begin to justify it is by creating. Finally putting it all to some kind of use. Sooo, there it is. And here I go. If I think something might be fun for someone else to try I'll blog about it with instructions and photos and such. It feels weird saying that because like most people, there's WAY more I can be taught than I could ever teach others. Anyway. See ya out there!

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...
