I've been working very hard at various things, such as mending, organizing, deep cleaning, family gatherings, and volunteer work, in addition to beginning to write a book for the month formerly known as NaNoWriMo.
Today there was just enough of a break in the schedule to get caught up on raking leaves, and the weather turned out to be just perfect for it. We made one giant leaf pile in the backyard, and a teenager buried himself in it very comfortably.
Recently my husband and I discovered the clearance paint shelf at the friendly neighborhood big box store. I painted the outsides of two medium plastic plant pots and made them into baskets for toys and sewing projects. One of them has a nice contrast between the new color on the outside and the original color on the inside. I'm not yet at the point of using normal woven baskets much; too fragile.
I also painted the wooden frame from one side of a box spring, which I've been saving with the idea of making a clothes rack, and leaned it up against an empty wall. I might hang some things from it later.
