I decided to sew a playhouse for my grandkids. It's something I saw in an article years ago for a 'garage' for a boy and it slips over a card table. I am using scrap pieces and making each side a different color (various shades of green and yellow. I don't have the 4th side complete yet, it a will have a back door of sheer material. The girls tried it out, though and LOVED it. J was an animal growling around and napping in the 'house' and V got very excited just going back and forth thru the front door. I am adding laces and a mailbox and probably something hanging off the rod on the inside to stuff toys into. This will go outside nicely, too. Possibly with a floor blanket made of denim, I've made a picnic blanket of denim that turned out well and was very washable .
Took a load of recyclables to the dump, a TRUCK FULL. At least 2/3 of the 8 sacks of mixed paper were from basement cleanup. Old school papers (my kids informed me of throwing them right in the trash and not even checking them out). Old national geographic that became too musty to keep (they are great for school projects). Old cardboard from tossing the contents and more! I am jumping with joy! So check off another on goal list.
Dreams of the future took another hit last week, gets a little hard to think about, let alone write about. I sometimes think that not everyone is on board for the future. Having a future. Saving is such an integral part of having dreams otherwise let's all just sit in the corner and vegetate. Or just not dream.....
..... of land
........ of owning a house
............ of having animals
............... of having a very large garden
