New Year Lists and a DIY Project

Well the world didn't end in December and it 
certainly hasn't slowed down at all!

We have been crazy busy in our office while
 the boss is away and there has barely been 
time to breathe.

So my 2013 list making is having to wait until 
my head is clear enough to think straight.

And thinking straight is difficult at the best of 
times. I'm a tangent person. Off here and there, 
all over the place, before I actually get back to 
where I started.
But I had a sudden urge at 10.30 pm the other 
night, to finish my hat/scarf rack, after buying
some wall plates to hook it onto, on my 
way home from work.

I was amazed. 
It was up by 11pm and went surprisingly 
well, after only one attempt to get everything into 
alignment, so it would sit straight on the wall.

I picked up the timber and hooks from a demolition 
yard for a few dollars.


Maybe I should do all my DIY projects late at night!

    that looks good! And sometimes we are better off doing things after we waited and procrastinated a bit - suddenly it works!

  11. Happy New Year Penny! Your coat rack looks great. I just love those old style hooks. New ones don't have nearly the same charm. It's funny how some things just go together so easily sometimes. You couldn't have planned it better if you tried. Maybe 11pm is your hour!
