I thought I had a lot more "vision" when I started this. My Bookmarks tab has been filling up & I was sure I had so many ideas that I would burst if I didn't see it all together. Turns out, I need to create.
~ I want to make buntings. Badly. One for every holiday & turn of the season. And one made entirely of the pictured fabric. Cloud 9 fabric: Beyond the Sea.
~ I need to decorate. I want all my wall decor so I can create what has been bouncing around in my head for far too long.
~ I have all the fabric & supplies for this advent calendar. In a crate. Far, far away from me.
~ I need to paint. I have a bajillion ideas for every room. All over color, murals, mosaics. Ooh, mosaic murals! I'm thinking a cherry tree in Mairyn's room, Cloud 9 inspired everything in Eliza's room and abstract shapes in Grant & Jacqui's room. The list goes on & on. This desire is obtainable because they have paint shops with cans of paint just waiting to hop into my car & spread themselves on my walls!
~ Terrariums. I want to fill my windowsill with terrariums. Or find an iron corner shelf and have a little collection of various sized little worlds encased in glass. This desire may be possible. I hunted down a place called "The Garden Nursery", adjacent to the Barbar Temple excavation, that looks promising. Though I haven't looked at the prices yet. I'm not paying 10BD ($26.60) for a little bougainvillea start. Or some other hardy native plant that won't die on me. I haven't ever been that good at keeping plants alive. I've either forgotten to water, over-watered, or they've been pulled out by the roots due to unsupervised rugrats.
~ The biggest desire of all? The one that I surely cannot create here. The Wonder Wall. To build an exposed wall & studs slathered in wonderful white paint. The easiest to decorate because pictures can just be propped up in their cubby, then switched around due to holidays or whim. If I didn't have concrete walls.
There. Now that I've vented I will get back to my real life. The Supermarket Shuffle is the dance I do today. Geant for all things produce, dairy, pasta & staples. NEX for any luxury items; like Raisin Bran Crunch, good sliced turkey from the deli, Doritos or microwave popcorn.

Question:
Does anyone actually use the hotlinks I include? Sometimes I'm not sure if something needs more explaining. And explaining it would lead to a tangent, then I forget where I was going with that or how I found myself on that wiki page for '10 Most Useful Poisons in the early 19th century'.
Another question:
If you've been shy about leaving comments, don't be. I would love to hear feedback & start conversations. I'm just here by my lonesome, starting a new life in the sandbox. Give me some love!
(I guess that wasn't a question. Oh well. I have to go shopping.)

I think your crafts will be amazing and hope you get some stuff soon!! I and am so glad that you found Geant and yes I do check your links! Have a good day!
FYI I am so looking forward to a post about what church is like there.
Welcome back to the sandbox! At least you're back in time for date season, right?
I use the links if I find them interesting. That plank wall was pretty awesome. Don't think I would ever do it in my house because it would dry hubby nutso, but it was cool.
oops, DRIVE, not dry...
I love that exposed wall. So many possibilities. And I read your hot links if I'm interested, so keep them in there. :)
I use your links ... not all of them ... but I do use them. I'm not big on the crafty stuff but I do look at other things you embed.
I love the wonder wall! I have all sorts of walls in this house that I would love to cover in niches and shelves... but it's not my house... and the walls are made of solid steel 8 inches thick (or plaster or cement or rock or whatever it is in all its drill breaking hardness!)
This is me giving you some love. :)
(And I use the links)
