The good news is I am on the count down for retirement. My retirement date is September 18th. I can not wait to be a full time homemaker.
My plan is to take each room, one at a time. I plan to organize , de- clutter and deep clean each room. Many years ago when I was a stay home mom, I had a cleaning schedule that I stuck by faithfully. This schedule freed up a lot of time.
My home has basically been a hit and miss when it came to deep cleaning. Simply, because there was never enough time. I hope this will change once I retire.
Yard Sale Finds
The two bowls are yard sale items. They are not silver, but they are dishwasher safe. I loved their silver color. I plan to pull these out at Christmas this year. I plan to go with a winter wonderland effect. This will entail using lots of silver and crystal and some gold.
Just a few projects I completed. The designs on travel pillow case are Sue Box Designs. I believe the one on the table runner is Sue Box as well. If not , and it is your design, please let me know and I will give you credit.
Susan, you will, indeed, love retirement. I still work part-time jobs but they are ones I enjoy a lot. Your yard sale finds are nice....the last one is a pillowcase, perhaps? Pretty. Susan

I love your runner! Congrats, retirement is the best, you will see!!! Lucky you!
ReplyDeletePretty silver bowls, although I'm up to my neck in silver cleaning lately, as you can see, lol! I also have a table with lots of silver pic frames and they are cleaned too...uff! I did it once and for all! I guess retirement gives me time to do ugly chores tyoo, but with lovely outcome! Thanks for your sweet visit my friend.

Congratulations Susan! I hope to be fully retired around the same time you are retiring. I am so looking forward to having time to do the things that I love to do. I know you must feel exactly the same way. I like your ideas for Christmas, gold and silver are beautiful traditional colors for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteHi...I am glad you came back to blogging. My hubby is counting down the days as well...he still has almost 2 years, but he is so ready! I love gold and silver at the holidays!
