Simplicity

Now that fall has arrived I'm starting to plan things for the holidays (my motto this year is keep it very, very simple), but I'm really not ready for it to be October the day after tomorrow. Time has dragged quite a bit over the course of the pandemic, but for the last year I've stayed busy with work and my art, and that seems to keep me from watching the calendar. It feels as if yesterday it was July. How can it be October?

Things are going quite well at the day job. I should finish up my current work project next week, and then take some time off to think about the next one.

Our holidays will be quiet with just the two of us, but I have a couple of birthdays before the end of the year for which to make gifts. I've finished one and have to start the second now. I'm only making one Christmas gift for my favorite person, and I'll make a meal and a cake for my guy as we've agreed not to buy anything for each other (hopefully he sticks to that.) I send e-gift cards to my two good friends, and have three neighbors for whom I'll bake something for Christmas. That's it, so should be easy to keep things simple -- I hope!

Gifts

This is a story that starts out very sadly, so if you're depressed by the holidays you might want to skip the first part. As far back as I can remember I've dreaded the holidays. Being poor, having constant family troubles and belonging to a strict religion made that time of year always pretty unhappy. I just hunkered down and hoped to get through without being yelled at or punished because I didn't do something I was expected to do, like sit in church for hours without moving or making a sound while a priest spoke mass in Latin. Gifts were uniformly disappointing, too. My mother usually gave me dolls or socks or underwear for Christmas. I understand now as an adult that she was doing the best she could, and trying to save money at the same time, but as a kid I'd been told good children got what they wanted for Christmas. I was a pretty good kid, but while my friends received new bikes and cool toys and lots of treats from Santa, I didn't. I thought San

We Have Backsplash!

Yesterday my guy and I decided to chose this natural stone as the backsplash tiles for our new kitchen counters (which will be in the same quartz I'm holding at the bottom of the photo.) Since all the bids for installing the backsplash came in very high my guy is going to put it in himself; he's done a bit of tile work in the past, too. I swear there is nothing this guy can't do. :)

Detoxing Results

For twenty-four hours I left these five vintage cigar boxes sit with detoxing agents (baking soda, coffee grinds, dryer sheets, vinegar and Febreze) inside them to see which worked best to remove the tobacco/storage odors that came with them. I then removed the agents and did a sniff test. Before we get into the results, a reminder: none of what I do is ever meant to be expert advice, as I am certainly not an expert at anything. Follow my methods at your own risk, and please first consult an actual antique expert conservator or restorer to detox items that have value for you. Okay, let's see how my experiment worked. Baking soda (left) did nothing to remove the odors. I think if I let it sit for a longer period of time it might have done something, but for a 24-hour test it was a complete fail. Coffee grinds (right) removed 100% of the odors, and left behind definite coffee scent. I like that and think it goes very well with wood, but if you don't like the smel
