Towel Rod Baskets

A while back I saw on Pinterest someone had hung baskets from rods in the laundry room...

 I pinned it...so did my daughter in Burlington and told me about it...I said I pinned that too !

Anyway-

Last night we were at Lowes (I am up here painting cabinets at her condo) and we decided to get baskets and hooks for a square towel rod in her bathroom that is too close to the other one to hold anything but washcloths and hand towels...useless for her.

The S hooks were too small for the square rod so we got a bag of shower curtain hooks....I don't know what we will do with the remaining...but they worked great.

 

The picture is terrible,it is from my phone.... I forgot my camera. You get the idea and they will be filled in no time !!

Schools out for summer....

I teach at Head Start and today was our last day. We had a great class of 18 wonderful children....I miss them already.

I am looking forward to more blogging this summer.

First I am headed to Burlington VT to help my daughter with her kitchen cabinets....

they are painted white...

just the top ones....she ran out of steam. I know how that goes-so I am going to help her finish. We are going to do the bottom ones in a grey....

It will look like this (I hope ) when we get through.

Psalm 121 My Grandmothers Favorite

Today my Pastor read this Psalm.....

1	I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,          from whence cometh my help.
2	My help cometh from the LORD,          which made heaven and earth.
3	He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:          he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4	Behold, he that keepeth Israel          shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5	The LORD is thy keeper:          the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6	The sun shall not smite thee by day,          nor the moon by night.
7	The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil:          he shall preserve thy soul.
8	The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in          from this time forth, and even for evermore He did not read the King James version but that was my Grandmothers favorite....and for this Psalm I love it too ! Have a great Sunday . Chris

Sunday Thoughts

Today our minister, Pastor Buddy at Northway Church (thought I would give a shout out), talked about the word "if" it can be your friend or enemy.

 What if you tried and failed...I am going to go for it !

How about you?

Well technically it isn't a scripture....but it is a great way of thinking !

The Packaging of EZ comfort wraps has begun

So, as you might know my sister and I are on a new adventure of marketing a new product. It has been interesting and challenging so far and we are just beginning.

Yesterday (after 4 trips there) I picked up the "toppers" from Staples for our packages.

I wanted coral....but they didn't carry that color so I settled on pale yellow....I got bright yellow.

Of course I didn't realize this till I got home-and this poor guy Jim... really had his hands full getting this designed and completed for me....

I didn't have the heart to take them back !

So here they are packaged in a more professional manner then before. They are available at out ETSY shop. What I love is that the buttons can be changed out and I have found some cute ones !

I don't know where I saved this from...someone did a nice job on the subway art.
