To do list update

Remember my 'wanna do list'


Well I got a thing or two ticked off : others are still in progress

Move my box upstairs and style it.

Print pictures for the still empty frames in the lounge - right - in progress.

Post a box to someone special (The box is ready and full and just needs to be labelled).

Gather items to create a Fall centre piece using this picture as inspiration ... my vase is round though.  (Looking for acorns - anyone got some spare for me?

Drop items at the SPCA on the way to drop my Mom off at the casino.

Take my car for a wash.

Wash the rest of my winter jackets and coats.

Edit photographs - finally got my desk sorted so I can hook up to my screen as I'm battling on the laptop screen to edit.

Work on blog design - did some fiddling but am in search of  more personalised but well priced theme.  Am on a pretty tight budget at the moment.

Schatz went with me to drop off items at the SPCA and then we went to take the car for a wash.  While there we stopped in at the Chinese store and he bought me a lovely trench coat instead of chocolates or Easter.  I'll share a picture late r- sadly though, the cream one that I tried on Friday was already sold and they did not have another in my size, so I went for the light khaki shade.  If I find it in cream again though, I'll definitely buy it - and oh how I dream of a real Burberry ... but that will happen only once I hit the Lotto ;-).

Happy day y'all.

Weekend projects

Its a grey and wet rainy Friday here in Jozie ... I have plans for the weekend though which include

1.  Taking the zone ruler photos, creating the ruler and submitting it ... this is now beyond urgent.

2.  Paint my chair with this the RustOleum Distressed Ivory kit.  I can't wait to get it done ... then it's just to get the seat done and covered and finally, after about 5 years of saying I must get this done, I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.  I just need to decide what fabric to use ... I keep changing my mind, but I'm leaning towards a silver grey and white stripe as it can go with anything just by changing a cushion.

3.  Paint the words on the side of the two new boxes I bought for the corner closet in the kitchen.

4.  Do more searching to see if I can find all the spice labels I need for the jars.  I may also head down to Westpac and get a few more glass jars for the spices.

5.  Print photos for the frames in the lounge ... I think Schatz put them in about May and still I have not put any pictures into them ... not that there is a lack of photos, it's more that there is too much choice and narrowing it down is more my problem ... but I do need to get it done.

6.  Plant baby fuschias ... they've really done well in their original little pots, but I must give them new homes as well as feed all the potted plants.

What do you have planned for the weekend ... and if you're a Jo'burg Fashionista ... are you attending the expo this weekend?
