What I Can’t Let Go Of:

This week has been a week filled with laughter, growth, inspiration, and conquering challenges that a few short years I ago I thought were beyond my reach.

On the Blog This Week

I love 2nd Tuesdays! That’s when some of the most talented, creative crafters I know gather to share our challenge crafts.

This month we were all challenged to use wood spindles, pickets or moldings.

I have been wanting/needing a folding luggage rack for our guests. The ones I liked (Taller, flat horizontal stretchers on top) were $80 up.

Lucky for me, I had a bundle of spindles!

Now I have a great folding luggage rack for my guests

AND I can pull it into service as a tray butler, anywhere, anytime!

Work-jammies!

Yes, this outfit is as cool and comfy as your favorite jammies, yet stylish enough to wear out and about, throughout a full hard-working day!

Don’t you love an outfit that a cinch to throw on and get out the door?

An outfit that is cool and comfy all day long in and out of air-conditioning?.

Easy to accessorize?

Wrinkle free?

This is a new favorite of mine!

(Never thought that over 50, heck over 60, I’d be wearing a jumpsuit, Can’t quite bring myself to call it a romper ๐Ÿคญ)

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!! Thanks for hanging out with me a bit,

    That outfit looks so comfortable. Love it.

    1. It is the BEST! I almost feel guilty wearing it out and about. The first time out in it felt a bit awkward — felt like I was running around in my PJ’s. But it only took me an hour to get over that!!!

  4. You look fantastic in the jumpsuit! Perfect for summer! ~Missy
