Declutter and knitting

Having Mondays off is nice.  Much nicer than Fridays.  Anyway to take advantage of this extra day I have each week until Labor Day, I plan to do a declutter project that “should” take less than 15 minutes to complete.  The time limit doesn’t work for me.  The typical 15-minute job takes me all day.

Today’s target was the top of my dresser.  I could have written the entire Old Testament in the amount of dust!  Three hours later it is clean, clutter-free, and dustless.  I need to clean out the top drawer and find some jewelry storage containers so I can better sort what I have.  The current jewelry box has drawers with no compartments.  My earrings and pins co-mingle and create a hot mess.

I want a quick, easy, and cool knitting project for the summer.  I need to knit two baby sweaters but having just finished two sweaters, I really don’t want to do another one right now.  Not into hats or scarves or anything that requires me to make two.  Any suggestions?

What a dweeb!

I do not believe I posted something about copy write and I meant copyright.  I’m such a dweeb.  Thank you Toni for not calling me out on my gross error!

I love doing crossword puzzles but am a terrible speller.  My mother even corrected  my letters to her.  Does that put a damper on writing?!

Purple boxes

On our trip this past weekend, we saw these purple boxes hanging from the trees.  They were about 3 feet tall with a triangle top and bottom.  They were on Rt. 160 and 219 in southern Pennsylvania and we saw some last year along Rt. 40 in south-western Pennsylvania.  Sorry the picture is so blurry but this was taken with my phone while riding on the back of the Harley and we were moving.

Purple box...why?

 

So does anyone know what these purple boxes are? 

I decided to change the buttons on the white sweater from the ivory square ones to round white ones.  No pictures as I don’t have them sewn on yet.
