Fabric organization.

I just organized my old fabric remnants using comic book backer boards. I had seen this on Pinterest several times and finally decided to do it myself. Mine does not look nearly as color-coordinated as some, but it is a LOT better than it was. Unfortunately, I didn't think to get a before picture. 

Craft room Organization

Here are my ribbons, string, and fibers. I'm loving these glass jars! Not sure how that one skein of yarn got in there....

The shelf - final resting place

And here it sits. My parents "antiqued" this way back in the 70's. I love how, over the years, the knots in the wood came through the finish.

The shelf

Success!

My owls!

OMG! some of my owl collection from when I was in high school! I thought I had gotten rid of them all.

The old corner shelf.

This is what I actually want out of the store room today. It needs to be in my craft room!

Still more shed

Getting better!

Adventures in the shed.

Look what I found in the shed. Didn't even remember having them.

The storage shed!

Today I gave a goal. Get my old corner shelf unit out of the storage shed so I can get it into my craft room. Ugh!

Our Lady of Guadalupe in Copper

Saw this the other evening at Los Banditos de Carlos & Mickey.

My lunch project progress.

It's slow when you work on it only about 15 to 20 minutes at a time and not every day. But it's a lot more done than if I hadn't started at all!

Homecoming Remnants

I just noticed this yesterday afternoon when I got home. Jenna really needs to put this stuff away, but because she didn't, I got an interesting picture!

Not sure what the actual purpose of this stop sign is...

My Sept 11 Sign-of-the-day

I did not check, but I would be willing to bet that this park flooded either today or yesterday or maybe both days. It is built in an arroyo.

Old Pic of same Wall!

This is the same wall that was recently exposed when a building in downtown El Paso was demolished - and I just took pictures of it! This picture was taken sometime before 1916. Seen on Facebook Remember in El Paso when - uploaded by Jim Stevens - El Paso downtown Wall - Aultman Collection No A-1170

These painted signs were recently exposed after the demolition of an old building in Downtown El Paso.  The John T. Muir Building was built by Trost and Trost architects in 1916.  It was originally a beautiful building but had been remodeled at some point. Our City council voted to demolish it because: "It is not on the historic register, It's a non-contributing historic building and it has been irreparably altered."  Sad - but on the other hand, it's pretty cool that these signs were exposed!

Unfortunately, I think they are going to be covered up again because the plans are to build a Walgreens on this now-empty lot.

Cross stitch continued

Here is the latest progress on my 'because I can't work out in the building at lunch' project.

Non-rainy, dry morning

This was taken at the same time as yesterday's picture, but looks totally different.
