bit of a studio update and thrifty finds.

Good morning all. Yes I said good morning. The first one I have had all week. Turns out the horrible symptoms are an indication that I have a mild sensitivity to the morphine. That is the pc correct way of saying I"M ALLERGIC. I KNOW I am allergic to codeine and there is a bright red flashing notice on the screen at the hospital - a bright red sticker on the charts - and I told the nurse. Codeine and morphine are sister drugs - containing many of the same things - so just for safety's sake I need to add a morphine allergy to the dang list. (you would think somebody in the medical system would have thought about this) Last night I took a benadryl before bed and today the brain fog seems to be lifting. Still weak - no food all week has that effect.



My favorite line in the first National Treasure movie is when the young cohort says "look ----- stairs" well my version is "look - a closet". A MaggieGrace gonna be a fabric closet - and is one design feature that happened to turn out exactly like I imagined. When we remodeled the house - I made the man keep the doors. There will be no paint on this - Love it just like this. A deep russet red from the varnish oxidizing over time. A Happy Happy girl. The blue styrofoam is covering the ac/heat - hole in the wall. The great big frame is being painted pale blue with red and will become a wire board much like this one.

Now about the thrifty finds - this is a favorite - a 4 drawer chest/work surface. 30.00 dollars at a yard sale. It is a bit too tall but taking the legs off will make it perfect. The price was perfect too. I bought it for me for mother's day.

This is the box of stuff that I scarfed up at the store clearance sale - 5.00. If you look closely, you will see the reason - I jumped on this. The graphics are wonderful - they will be used and copied and shared. But the REAL reason --- is that these were buried in the bottom of this box.
Unopened vogart patterns - three of them. Another happy dance. Bees are coming on some items. Had to have it.

Just wanted to share. Abby has a ballgame - I'm staying home - playing hooky from Mom duties - I need to. Today is Miss Molly's last offcial day of school. Awards - last night. Lots of laughter - a few tears.

Hope ya'll have a wonderful weekend.
