The Tree

 Well I've been organizing my workroom/dining room for a bit and working on my tree. I run into times when the glue has to dry so that's when I clean up and organize.

I've also had a cat with some issues so he's had to have medicine and monitoring and strangely enough, chasing a one and a half year old cat around at my age is a little tiring. Though to be fair, age wouldn't have as much to do with it if I wasn't also out of shape.

But he's better, done with his antibiotic and muscle relaxer so we'll see how this week goes.

The tree is progressing slowly, I'm getting low on Candytuft so I ordered something that I hope will be comparable and blend well with what I have. 

Here's the tree so far though.







The organizing will continue when the new (really wonderfully cheap) shelves come in and I can get things out of the boxes and off the floor and onto them. The goal is to have space to set up the table with the Cricut and work on some of those projects as well as minis. Since the tree and its glue drying process allows for other work to be done.

And if anyone has a source for sage/basil colored candytuft I'm definitely interested!

The list is progressing:

  1. Oh what a tree, Sheila! It is looking fabulous! You must be so happy with how it is turning out! Good luck with the new candytuft sub. It seems like random things are out of stock these days. It must be a consequence of Covid on the countries who produce the things we need having been impacted by the after effects. I have had to order my S.O.S. pads, at twice the cost, through an Amazon seller in PA and they took 10 days to get here? There have been none in local stores since July! What is happening?!? It is going to turn me into a hoarder, lol! I am glad the kitty is getting better and you are going to love working in your newly reorganized room! I need a good fall cleaning around here, too!
