There were three projects that I wanted to do to finish up the apartment: Get a stand for the birds, foam pillows for the daybed and wall hanging organizers for craft resources.
The foam insert arrived yesterday and today I used some of my fleece to cover it...
I thought about getting two but decided to try one first. I like it. Now what I want to do is add about four or five large decorative pillows to the daybed and I'm done.
Next the bird stand. My bird cage is large and finding a stand to handle it took a long time. The stand came today and I put it together. Unfortunately, it wasn't a very good design and it didn't even have all the right length screws (Thank goodness I keep a pretty well stocked hardware box!).
To top that off, the shelf was bent. I decided to keep it, though, as the only thing I will be putting on the shelf is the birdcage cover. But to keep the shelf from falling out as it only sat in four holes, I had to add plastic zip ties. I only had white ones on hand. Think when I am out and about I will get a small package of black ones.
Finally, I told you about my idea of having my craft supplies more easily available by using wall hanging organizers. Well, I put my first row up this evening...
A long curtain rod - not extended to give it more support - command hangers, s-hooks and some very inexpensive baskets. I plan on putting up another row or two of this size baskets and then a row of larger baskets. This is working out great!
Well, tomorrow's forecast is for rain once again! (At least it's not snow!!!) So, I may stay home and finish up my organizing.
Thanks for dropping by...
Talk to you tomorrow...
