HOME PROJECTS

 Hi Everyone!

By now many places have opened more things and we  have a sense of normalcy in our lives. Hope things are going well wherever you are.


IDEAS for OUTSIDE

The week flew by so, so fast, we or I have been buzy  working on a new project for outside. I mentioned it awhile back that our yard has a backyard  shower which is basic , nothing fancy but to open for my liking , also it lacks places to hang things . i.e. towels  etc.   So I was hoping to make a screened in area and place to install some hooks to hold things. 


Like the idea of a slatted enclosure that allows air to circulate through it, also cedar is ideal as it does not rot.







MORE FLOWERS

I received some rose plants last month that were so lovely.but now they are totally finished which totally made me sad. I watered them when needed , set them in a sunny spot and still they withered up completely. Only thing I think  is the water is the issue.

So for now I am getting fake flowers for inside- these look lovely .




TALKING DIY



I  happened to read a very interesting article about the dangers of DIYing.
With the lockdown people were getting into doing more DIY project around their places.
From painting to making things , wood projects. 

Well there were some interesting points made,  how the dust from wood can be inhaled into your lungs and damages them, just the smaller amount of wood dust.
Also the things of sanding wood surfaces or paint, one needs to wear a face mask so
you don't breathe in the fine particle.
Read the report here 



So now that is on the list of things to get. more facemasks, goggles , gloves

Happy DIYing  guys , girls !

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

 Doing Denim  I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable.  For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short.  I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days.  Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it.  Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets.  There are so many ways to style a denim dress.  A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses  I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck. 

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

 Favorite things  I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023.  Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea  of shopping my closet or using what I have .  Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes  sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly.  The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again.  Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring.  The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece.   The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it  was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents.  It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it.  ...
