Hello! Hope Monday wasn’t/isn’t too tragic for everyone!
Well… that’s the photo I was working on yesterday. Hopefully some of you will recognise what I was trying to do.
For those who don’t know – its a wartime propaganda poster (well, my copy of. I am not quite as glamorous as the original Rosie the Riveter though!!)
Anyway… I like my new hair bandanna so I wore it today as I spring cleaned the sunroom… here is the appalling before photo (I am such a clutterer)
Too easy for me to just drop things when I am busy and in a hurry!
Anyway, its all cleared out, vacuumed, mopped and de-spidered. I don’t like sprays, but sometimes we go for a surface spray to keep them from taking over.
I spent some quality time with Merv, Kevin, Annabelle, Daisy, Gertrude, Bob and the rest of the gang in Mealworm City (ie I cleaned their box out)
They are active and happy, so I must be doing something right.
Latest beret… I lashed out on some fancy yarn. I undid half of it as the thicker wool was making it huge. Now its more kid sized. Fits on my head but not as well as the other ones.
Its pretty tho.
I had a lovely time in the garden digging potatoes. I love doing that so much! I got a good amount in one go so I can leave them alone to grow for a while longer. I ate some of these tonight.
Then more apple cucumbers, a big zucchini and a few more tomatoes!
There was a bit of discussion about what a zucchini slice was yesterday!! I didn’t realise that everyone in the world who ever grew zucchinis didn’t have this as their ‘go to’ recipe!! 😀
Anyway, its half loaf, half omlette:
This was before I cooked it. Its quite flat.. an inch or so high.
Cheers!
Yas, Queen! You are killing it as Rosie.
Made me laugh!! Thanks so much! Its always a bit fun to dress up!!
Great picture Lisa! You look beautiful and strong. That zucchini slice looks great! I’ll certainly be making that this summer. Have a great week!
Thanks Julie! It was a bit of fun to do. 🙂
I hope you like the slice. Its nothing gourmet, just a great dinner standby in summer! Have a lovely week too!!
Thought you might want to know that in the past week or so, the US media announced that the original Rosie the Riveter died. Think she was in her 90s.
Like the picture, don’t think I’ve seen a pic of you with lipstick on before! Nice!
Oh – thanks so much for the info on ‘Rosie’ So recent!! 94 apparently!
lol re the lipstick… I had to borrow it from Ruby! Makeup is not my strong point – can you tell? I managed to poke myself in the eye with the mascara stick!!! hahahaha… sigh!
What a transformation on that sunroom. You did a fine number. Also liked your pose of MS ROSIE. THE spuds look Devine!! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Linda! I need all the cheering I can get! 😀 I must admit its making me very happy to walk into the sunroom!
I enjoyed a lot more potatoes on the plate tonight. They are soooo goooood! 🙂
Lisa,
What are u collecting in that wood devided crate that is hanging on your sunroom wall? Looks intriguing!! Looks like you have labels on each cubby.
lol – thats our mini Cabinet of Curiosities. We need a MUCH bigger one though. Lots of rocks, specimens bought or collected. I think there is some meteorite in there somewhere! I got this crate/shelf thing for Jeff one Christmas. Its amazing how hard it was to find something close to what we needed. I think we will just have to make up one ourselves one day! I’d get up and take a better look at it to tell you some more stuff, but right now Pip is sleeping upside down on my lap with a back foot across his ear – cant disturb that level of comfort haha
Love the Rosie the Riveter picture!
Thanks! I enjoyed putting that one together!
I hate spiders! I use peppermint oil to discourage the creepy crawlies. Cotton balls in corners, wipe down counters with it etc
I heard that peppermint oil discouraged mice, but hadn’t heard about spiders – I’ll have to get some and give it a whirl… although the size of the place might mean I would need to buy a bucket of it!! 😀 Would smell just lovely too!!
