What Do You Do When You Are Bored? Or Have Time On Your Hands?

I am not bored ~ but I had some time on my hands or I was fidgety, who knows.  Lori and I went to a fabric store ~ I was interested in getting some fabric for Halloween and Amy wanted me to get some fabric that looked like "Moroccan tapestry".  Okay.

I got black tulle, black feathers, fabric glue sticks and something that fit the "Moroccan tapestry" want, plus it was on sale!

So, I reupholstered a bench in the upstairs hallway.  Then I decided to redo the ottoman in my room - it was looking pretty bad.  I had to go to Home Depot to get a new screwdriver.  I was using one that appears to have been Dad's Dads.  And it worked fine, except for the last 4 screws on the steps.  Jim looked at it and said that I needed a better screwdriver, and he was correct.  I got a bigger one and it worked great.

The antique screw driver - note the wooden handle

The new screwdriver

Old red cruddy ottoman.

New looking good ottoman - I used a pillow case.

These are the steps to help the dogs get on Mom's bed - with the new Moroccan tapestry.

Then I ordered some crows for our witches hats and they arrived:

Four and twenty blackbirds......

 I also ordered black silk roses ..... I am only making 4 witches hats .....I may have gone off the deep end.  

Then because my desk was such a mess, I decided I needed some shelves and they can't be too tall because of the slanted ceilings.  So, I googled shelves and then went to the nirvana of stores........Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Found just what I wanted, and of course they had to be put together with an Allen wrench.

The directions are pictures ~ who does that?

But, I did get it put together!  By myself!!!!!

And there it is.  With baskets to help the clutter.  Just like on HGTV!

And for those of you who "Think" that I don't do anything for the mother ship (usually that is her view) ~ here she is getting a pedicure.  She is way in the back with Ryan who she likes.  

Ok, enough with the time on my hands ~ it is Happy Hour! 

Enjoy!
Love, Leslie
