The cutest dog picture ever!
I’m busy with Mr. Allen Wrench from Ikea, but I had to stop and share this picture that Nathan sent me from his cell phone:
Although the color isn’t that good, that face… it made me melt :)
Last week I was totally irritated and not somebody you would want to talk to during my end-of-the-year paper cleanup extravaganza. If you’ve been to the shop and squeezed into my office you know it is makeshift to say the least… if you turn around you might knock over the microwave. So I made a decision last night to go to Ikea and buy some pieces… a happy workspace makes for a happy worker? right? :)
Are the pieces I got exactly what I always wanted with little scrolly detail and a timeless design?? NO. Do they fit my little 5 foot by 7 foot cubby? YES. So, I finally have a proper little desk and places to put stuff so it doesn’t spill out onto the floor. But I do feel a little guilty for letting my OCD take over. That little voice that says “now now now” kept us up all night putting these things together. But now paying bills and filing paperwork will be new and exciting!
I’m hoping all the new shelving will help with the storage issue. Currently, when you are browsing on the floor you’ll see… jewelry, baby shoes, stationery, purses, cupcake art and two large boxes that say “Year End Vendor Folders 2003″ in thick black sharpie chicken scratches. I’ll just throw a doily over the stacked boxes and call them modern art end tables :)
Back to work…I’m still putting together “Robin” the tiny end table. We’ve already assembled “Goliat” and “Alve”. When it’s all put together I’ll post pictures but I can’t promise it will be inspiring or pretty… it will mostly look utilitarian and… well… I’ll just say “eclectic” ;)

Carrie: It was so nice to meet you today and visit Violets are Blue. What a wonderful shop you have. I enjoyed my visit very much. I wish I would have had $1000.00 to spend. :*)
By the way, I’m making the molds that we talked about. We’ll see if it works or if I have to try doing this a different way.
Hope to see you again soon. Thanks again for a pleasant visit and for being so very kind!
Hugs,
Frankie
