Shortbread at Midnight

I just found another reason that it's fun to have the house to yourself....you can make some yummy shortbread cookies...and then try not to eat all of them tonight! lol

So I'm a little behind in blogging and my daily pics, so I'm trying to get 2 birds with one stone by using the pics to shown what's been up.

Here's some pictures in no particular order that have something to do with my last couple weeks.


These are some of the boxes that are filled with Brad's stuff and that I'm hoping will be out of my house soon!!
This is my version of the clip it up! lol I just need some more binder clips and then I can put everything up there! It's actually pretty good cause I can look at my stuff even if I'm just sitting on the couch watching tv!

These are 2 pictures that my mom has made for me and they hang above my piano


I've been having a hard time with depression the last few weeks, so I make a conscious effort to remain hopeful even when it seems to be in short supply.

The one thing that I've been able to do is make cards. It's so nice to be accomplishing something, but the projects are small enough that they don't seem overwhelming.

One of the cards I made today.
This is a close up of my space heater...we had a few days of -20 so I got alot of use outta this baby!

This is the sewing machine that I use ... it is also the exact machine that my dad bought for my mom when they first got married.

Our fridge seems to mimic life a little I think...constantly changing, except when it stays the same.

Our tv that decided to just up and quit working right in the middle of a show I was watching...it's never worked since!

This is the grandfather clock that my mom made for my dad. It is the clock that stopped on the day that he died. I need to get some new parts for it, but I just love having it in my home.
