Everyday life . . .

With my wrist issues, I don't feel like I have been very productive lately, 

but when I look at my life through my iPhoto files, I see that I am actually getting a few things done here and there.

I spent some time cleaning up the garden and patio area.

which led to changing the display on top of the yellow cabinet,

I gathered all the different metal containers I could find - I definitely do not need to buy any more.

I even got to the side of the house and cleaned up my tiny little potting bench.

Weeding the garden is slow going with my weak hand, but the garden is beginning to look presentable.

One bit of house decorating today was courtesy of Suzan of Simply Vintageous.

 I won a giveaway on her blog and received a fun package in the mail today.

The metal Paris heart is obvious, but she also included a glass heart necklace and some earrings - beautifully packaged!

After hanging the heart in various locations around the house, I settled on a shelf in the kitchen.

My daughter KC - shown here on our weekend sailing adventure - caused a bit of upheaval around the house today.

KC is moving back to the Bay Area and has returned this cabinet to me - where do I put it, should I paint it, what color?

But, painting and moving furniture will have to wait.

I am going in for carpal tunnel surgery on my wrist on Thursday so sitting with my family or walking on the beach is about all I will be doing for the next few days.
