Kids' first day back at school today... I felt a bit sad about it in some ways.. another summer gone by already.... and so much not done. /sigh
They seem glad to be back though, and Number One daughter is already into volleyball practice... tomorrow I will need to pick her up at 5.. I had thought about going to watch, but she says she'd be mortified.. "I'd just DIE, mum" ... so I'll take along my knitting and sit in the parking lot probably!

Just a short little post today... nothing deep... some blogs are much more in depth than this one... I just don't feel ready to share the deep "stuff" yet... there's plenty of it though.
And anyway... the little men inside my head are too busy with the hammers pounding on the backside of my right eye, for me to think of typing for too much longer...

A Sunday Morning Project

Shelf making.. and arranging!
Remember that bookcase which collapsed the other week? Well, I cut down a couple of the shelves and fiitted them on the ledge above where I hang coats here... the ledge was just BEGGING for some wood to hold up.. honest! lol
I'm very pleased with the little extra storage space... behind the plant I have a sturdy cardboard box which is holding things (books..gifts to give.. things to sell) and on top of that is a plastic storage box with a variety of completed knitted items in it.. they will be for gifts, or selling, or for charity giving or whatever too. To the right, behind the plant is another plastic box, with plant pots and other gardening stuff..
And the plant? Well, I don't usually go for artificial plants, but I was given this one by my neighbour one night last week, and it does a pretty good job at "hiding" the boxes, don't you think?
