Whenever there's a long weekend I always forget what day it is - Tuesday morning seems like Monday morning . . . you can tell I don't work Mon-Fri, or have children starting school this week.
So now I have to get twice as much done today and here I am playing with textures.
This photo makes me feel peaceful. It's simple and uncluttered. I love the soft colours, the late summer light coming in the dining room window, and my favourite antique duck that makes it's way into most of my seasonal decorating. But before I can really get into my autumn decorating, I have other things to do.
We watched an episode of "Hoarders" on the weekend. I tell you, that show strikes fear in my heart. So I've started a pile of stuff that's destined for Good Will this week. Clothes, decorations that I've outgrown, household gadgets - all going to be gone by Tuesday night (or is that Wednesday night)?
I also need to organize my craft room (horrors). It's a dark little room that I have been avoiding like the plague. But it's time . . . my stuff has been sitting in there in boxes since early spring.
Ugh.

Sweet Shot Tuesday at Kent Weakley Photography
The texture is perfect for that photo.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about clearing things out. We need to do the same thing here.
Good luck....to both of us.
love the tub o' tansy! beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely image. I really like the processing you did. Happy day to you. Joining you from sweet shot Tues.
ReplyDeleteLove this photo Barb, it is so peaceful and a bit nostalgic!
ReplyDeleteSoft and beautiful. I Like you duck, too.
ReplyDeleteI just did a bit of clean up in the craft room this morning, and even a small sewing project that has been there since spring. It is actually raining today, lovely steady rain that we really need.
ReplyDeleteI laughed when you said about the hoarders show putting the fear of God into you!
ReplyDeletegreat photo - love your texture work!
ReplyDeletePretty little vignette, love it. I think I need to watch Hoarders, maybe it would get me moving to get rid of stuff around here. Oh my, organizing my craftroom would be a huge undertaking, not up to that just yet.
ReplyDeleteWow such a beautiful photo! Great composition and love the texture work! Lovely work as always!
ReplyDeleteI said tonight after supper that it feels good ~ my mind says it is Monday but the calendar tells me Tues and I am loving it.
ReplyDeleteSuch a peaceful pretty image.
ReplyDeleteBarb...I haven't worked in my craft (aka CRAP) room for more than a year! Today, I actually transferred wooden and clear stamps from a unit with colorful plastic drawers that wouldn't stay on the tracks to a great wooden-drawer unit! That is only the beginning. I have another wooden unit that's has twice as many drawers but cleaning out the other plastic one is going to take more time and effort. ;-) Your image IS peaceful; I could use some peaceful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo...I can see why you love it so much! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree about that Hoarders show...watching it is horrifying. I find it so disturbing that I've only watched it a couple of times. It always motivates me to stay on top of our clutter! *shudder*
I tidied my craft room a while back it took me 3 days ! and I'm still not happy with it. it's time for some ebay I think.... Love your duck ....
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo, Barb, love those pretty yellow flowers !
ReplyDeleteNice evening,
Sylvia
oh i adore the bucket with the yellow flowers, are they fresh?
ReplyDeleteand what a sweet duck:)
oh man I watched hoarders once and just couldn't do it again--so eye opening, i feel for those people:(
