Random Stuff...from Yesterday and Today

 I was working on some projects yesterday but didn't get the pictures moved over to my PC until later today. I like to send them to myself with Facebook messenger but Facebook was having issues all day. I can only add pictures here from my PC. Anyway....

Yesterday I straightened out the bottom of the hall closet. That's sort of our utility area, a place for tools, tape, glue, drills, screwdrivers, etc. Over time a bunch of stuff got put into bags and the bags shoved into the closet.  What a mess!


So now you can see the bags are eliminated, all the tools in the bag (on the right...hard to see), all the glue and tape in the basket, and the miscellaneous items in some other boxes. 


The other project I worked on was experimenting with making my own plant labels. I have not had good success in the past. This time I tried a food container, I think it will work great. Time will tell if they fade. Another idea was to cut strips of a cookie container which had a layer of the label still on it. I clear coated the paper with nail polish (after writing on them). Time will tell if they hold up.

This is from the clear cookie container with nail polish over the paper

Here is one of the clear plastic and nail polish tags

I didn't get a picture of the other tags and now my lights are off.

I am on the hunt for some battery operated LED candles that have that warm, orange glow and I don't know how to find them. I like the color more than the newer ones, which are more realistic but not as "warm".
The newer style

The older style, my favorite

And lastly, I wanted to share this lovely Haworthiopsis with you. I think the colors and the patterns are beautiful.
It might be a cross between Tulista Pumila and Haworthiopsis Limifolia Striata, but I'm guessing.

I'm determined to go to bed earlier, so that's it for tonight.
