New Year, new dreams

I haven't written anything in my blog for the longest time. Number one, my trusty old lap top was no longer supported by Microsoft because I was running on Windows Vista Professional which was fazed out last year. Number two, my blog got hacked and there are a lot of photos that have been removed. So I went out and bought a new lap top and I guess I got so used to the old one and working with my tablet and smart phone just because easier. The keyboard is foriegn to me and I even have a hard time using the caps lock.

So first thing that is new this year is to pull out this baby and work on it at least 2 a week. I will drop watching tv and work on my blog a bit.

Next thing that is new is my Fit Bit which has been challenging me to walk more which with my vascular issues is great. I try to maintain at least 6K a day but with the weather being so cold outside it becomes a bit of a challenge to walk my pug Henry but we go for longer walks on the days when its not so cold. He has his booties, coat and even his sweater on and he starts to shake while I am dressing him. Poor thing. My Lab has no problems and even throws himself to the ground and rolls in it.

And the most important thing will be getting organized with my art work and adding more paintings and collectibles in my store. So the challenge is on.

Sewing machine drawers

I found these sewing machine drawers at the curb last summer and have been debating what to do with them. I may try to sell on and keep the other for a project....hum so many projects....what shall I do? I love the detail on each of the little drawer pulls and one of them has this little detailed corner which is so cute. the bottom of this one lost it's veneer After some research on some of my blogs that I visit I found some great ideas like this one by Mamie Jane's Here is another idea to use the drawers for from http://www.etsy.com/listing/65855791/salvaged-vintage-sewing-machine-drawer?ref=sr_list_1&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = Or this one from http://www.etsy.com/listing/63700962/vintage-oak-sewing-machine-drawer-with?ref=sr_list_19&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = another real cute design for candle holders f

End of a collection #Breweriana

For years my hubby and I collected Breweriana items. It started with beer glasses and within a year or two without realizing it, we had over 100 displayed in our A frame window ledge. Then it was coasters from every bar or restaurant we visited. The next level was Beer trays which we eventually sold off. This all started when we were making our own beer even managed to find the old quart size bottles and the cases. As with most collections it grows without even noticing. You know it's out of control when you need to clean over 100 glasses, twice a year. We still pick up glasses, coasters and trays here and there but more for reselling. This is the last bit of the collection that we no longer display and all the coasters have a pin hole as they were mounted in our basement on our barn wood walls. They are in relatively good condition for the next collector to come along and purchase them. Poshmark.ca/closet/bpagani Thank you for checking them out. update this batch which had lots
