Happy Homemaker in Texas

 


Good Morning.  One of my favorite posts to write is this one my Happy Homemaker post.

I enjoy joining Sandra.  Her great prompts take a bit of the pressure off when you can't think of anything in to write about!  


Let's get on with it . . . 

The weather   this week no rain in the forecast.  80's most of the week  creeping up to 90 by weeks of end. 

On the breakfast plate  we have some leftover hash.  That will be good with a fried egg 

What I am wearing  always shorts and a tank top during the day.  I found new short boots on clearance at Target.  When it rains hard it collects in the  street gutters.  I wore my new black boots with black  pants and a striped  shirt to dinner the other night.  It was still raining a little when we left.  My boots were perfect for the puddles.

I like my boots! 

Looking around the house  I am overwhelmed with our 2nd living area and my crafting space/library.  We have not been able to find affordable decent shelves for books and my supplies.  I can't even get to my table.  I had to dig computer bags out of the closet that the Cowboy had stored papers in.  Everything from the closet is on  my table and in my space.  I am just too overwhelmed to deal with it!  

On the To Do List 

Putting everything back in the closet again! 3rd time!  

Enjoy my craft space 

Go to post office.  Mail cards and packages and buy stamps

Go to used bookstore 

Go to a garden park


Goals we have decided to look into buying a golf cart.  The Cowboy agreed to sell a few things and save the money for the golf cart. 

We don't have much left to sell except his library and some guns. 

We have one framed print to try and sell.  


On the menu

Monday Chicken and Dumplings

Tuesday Steak, Potatoes and Fried Okra 

Wednesday   Teriyaki Salmon, Fried Rice 

Thursday  leftover Spaghetti

Friday  Beef Stew from leftover Roast from freezer

On the reading pile  

 




New on the blog (s)  

I am starting a new feature here called From the Mailbox.  I will share the goodies I receive like this!


This is the gorgeous Red Junk Journal page I received in a SWAP. 

Over at My Reading Journeys I am doing last minute prep for the 2nd Annual Dog Days of Summer Book event 


Each day I am posting teasers like this on fb . . .

It will be a super fun event.  I hope you come by. 


On the t.v. We are really liking the shows on the Magnolia Network.  Although the Cowboy binge watches and I don't like it. I like to watch an episode and then watch something else.  Makes the series last longer. 

Do you binge watch? 

List of shows . . . 

Clint Harp Travel Restoration 

The Mega Yacht Reality Shows 

Dr Jeff Colorado Vet

Magnolia Table  

Waiting on more episodes . . .

The lost Kitchen

Johnny Swim


Crafting plans if I ever get my space workable again.  

I saw similar ones on fb but my phone won't save them form fb. 

They are made by cutting up flowers from magazines and catalogues.   And I have a few I can cut up.  I will be trying this week.  

I also have to make a pretty but simple Colorful Junk Journal for a SWAP.  These are the colors I will use. 

I will include one envelope and paper.  Then I will add dyed papers and bits and other Ephemera. 

The example was bound with Washi Tape.  I will put tape on the edges of some pages. 

Some of my favorite tapes will be used.  

I love the Pink dots and the check. 

I also love the Blue dots and the eye glasses.  I probably won't use the glasses.  They don't go with the theme. 

I am kind of thinking super simple.

A Minimalist approach.  We will see what happens! 

From the camera


We visited the best Antique shop we have ever been to!  It was super fun and full of goodies. 

We did not know it was once a hotel.

We saw the shop on the t.v. show Restoring Galveston and we were anxious to go. 

The owners of and staff are super friendly!  


The outside looks nothing like the inside!

Thanks for coming by and spending part of you day with me. 

Don't forget to go by Sandra's for the party. 

The party is over

Have a Sparkle filled week!
