Tammy, how big is he gonna get? If not too much bigger, I have something pretty cool at the Gallery I’d like to send for him. But they only fit cats and small dogs.

If he’s going to stay small, (he looks small) send your address to tobeheather@yahoo.com

I’d love to see “It” on him just before he gnaws it to pieces…

Your nephew looks like a charmer

I just have to hang in there at work. It’s going to be “not to my liking” for a while. I just have to organize it in my mind as just a paycheck. Because essentially that’s all it is since it’s not the job I want.

BTW…and this is probably the most belated Birthday wish I’ve ever shelled out…Happy Birthday Girl…what about 2 months ago? But I do mean it sincerely! Hey, Merry Christmas while I’m at it!

Forget about the job! People have their own agendas and you are probably smarter than the idiot filling the position. If you didn’t get this one, the better one is out there waiting for it’s moment to appear. The right time will show itself and the right kind of people…will want YOU.

Take it from me. I’m old enough to be you’re slightly older Aunt…

When I think of a bedroom, I think of a haven so my ideas might be wild for you. Mt first thoughts were to add some screening over the top of the bed. You can do it several ways. The easiest would be to suspend 2 poles (big dowels) from chains off hooks screwed into the ceiling. The poles would hang horizontally across the head and the foot of the bed. The draping would suspend over the poles kinda dipping in the middle for interest…the one at the head all the way against the wall …and draping to the floor creating a backdrop, the one at the foot much shorter and with some brocade or ribbon or brick-brack on the very front edge. You could even add tassels at the corners. Whatever material (fabric) you pick should contrast with your orange. Add some hidden velcro on the poles to keep the drape in place. Then you can hang that mirror right over the top of that material on the back wall…or let the folds of the material become your headboard and the mirror hangs on another wall. Find some really cool pillows in all different sizes, or make them. I sometimes use pillow cases and tie ribbons or add buttons on the ends to close them. Pile them all up against that fabric headboard in various heights.

As far as the TV, I would actually invest in a corner hanging tray to get it up off the ground leaving you more space. Use the small table you just bought right next to the bed for a book, lamp, whatever…

For that little window, I would hang a shelf above it that goes the entire length of the window and extends about a foot or so on either side. It would need to be above the frame a few inches so that you could attach another curtain pole underneath, again the length of the shelf. You’d just need a couple of pieces of wood at each end with a hole large enough to slip the pole through. Then get another set of those long curtains and hang them on ether side of the window as an accent, leaving the window open (or with blinds). Add some cool stuff on the shelf above…colored glass would be cool…baskets or maybe something you collect.

You could make a simple cornice box to cover the curtain pole if you wanted and also make one to match and place over your slider window so the windows look more finished. You could spray glue another contrasting fabric over the cornice to add even more pizazz and edge with the same brick-brack you use on the front on the headboard drape..

Add a tall plant in the corner between the 2 windows…and you’ve got a pretty nice looking room.

Well, that’s what I see in my head. I haven’t had any coffee so more could pop in when I do.

Good luck Tammy. The orange is beautiful.
