Project 52: Week 3

 

 

1. Saturday morning at the lake.

2. Ice skating with my family.

3. Ink for my beloved Grandpa. The writing is in his penmanship. So very pleased- it makes my heart happy every time I look at it.

Mogget Monday

Soft kitty. 

Soft blanket. 

All is right in the world.

Mogget tip # 7: Baskets make the most cozy of napping locations.

My Nest: Huzzah for White Paint

Perhaps I should pen an ode to white paint, I do love it so. A creative color choice? No. A nearly infallible color choice? Yes, yes, and yes. At least in my world.

At the end of a long day Ler likes to empty his pockets, retire his glasses and charge up his phone on the night stand. A very convenient location, but it was getting a touch chaotic. Also, the cats would decide it was time to bat change around the room at 3:00 in the morning. Lovely dears.

 

I took a quick trip to Goodwill and returned with this beauty. The tray had a study and unfinished wood frame, and hefty chipboard bottom. Only dinged my wallet for 97 cents.

A few thin coats of white paint (left over from my bathroom painting adventures) and things were starting to look good. I finished off the bottom with an insert of cork shelf liner. It has a light adhesive on the back, so it is firmly in place.

Ler's glasses, wallet, watch and other random bits-and-bobs are now corralled into one tidy little tray. Loose change is deposited in a pretty little milk glass vase I have had for years. No more finding nickles in my moccasins.

Project 52: Week 1

Good morning! I am kicking off the year with a new series: Project 52. Full discretion- not my idea at all. Completely pilfered. The lovely Benita at Chez Larsson gave me the idea for this weekly photo collection. In previous years she documented each day with Project 365 and 366! Very cool, but I know my limit and you, dear readers, are bombarded with enough kitty photos as is. Although Ms. Larsson is no longer updating her blog, you can check out her archives. I recommend that you do. Beautiful, light, and bright pictures of Swedish life in abundance. My "photos" are a Instagrams until I figure out how to use my camera properly.

I will be posting next week a 2013 "Let's Do This" recap and sharing 2014 intentions. I'm bubbling with excitement! Please come back to read and share!

1. Deep chill in Milwaukee. Negative temps created beautiful art on the windows.

2. Paperwhites blooming to spite the cold.

3 & 4. Mogget and Simandl staying toasty. I moved their basket by the radiator, and they do share...sometimes.

5 & 6. New housemates. Because I may have killed my fern over the holidays by not watering it...

Mogget Monday: Approval

Mogget approves of the new game system, which has increased long-term lounging with her favorite guy.

Dual seal of approval on the addition of the furry pillow. Deep sleeps, indeed.
