The Best Thing I Never Bought...(or trash into treasures)

Like every Saturday morning, I headed to the transfer station early to get rid of the trash, the recycling and drop off some old clothes in the free shed (where you bring good stuff that you don't have a use for anymore, but someone else may).  As I was about to leave, I spotted the cat tower below sitting beside the building, covered in cat fur and cobwebs, and looking a little rough around the edges.  

Since these things retail for about $100 and I had been thinking about getting one for Nym and Ellie (but couldn't justify spending that much for something they were going to sleep on and scratch), I threw it in the back of the truck.  I thought, if I can't clean it out and if it's really rickety, I'll just bring it back to the transfer station.  

It took me the better part of an hour to vacuum and clean this thing properly.  Once I got it into the house, Ellie took to it first, laying claim.

Now they both take turns...though they have a tendency to fight over it first, before one gives up and waits for the other to get off of it!

The Smell of Sunshine

I installed my clothesline the other day and I love it!  The smell of sheets and towels fresh from the line...oh how I've missed it!

It's curtains for you Rocky, curtains I tell ya!

I finally made the curtains for my bathroom, a few weeks ago.  I was certain that the neighbors down the lane could see into my bathroom at night.  Still need to make ones for the kitchen, but I need to clean up the sewing room first!
