Well, this was supposed to be finished much sooner than now, but I have a new part-time man in my life
{you may remember him here} and he keeps me busier than I thought! But I love having him around, and I'm learning to work fast while he's napping.

Isn't he just a cutie! |
This has probably worked out for the best since I'm not sure when I'll get to the projects I planned for March. We have been having some hellacious winds here in South Texas that make working outside super difficult. Maybe April will bring calmer breezes....
Anyhoo...
I'm sure I've mentioned before I'm a bit of a pack rat. I keep everything and never throw it away. But I've been attending Pack Rats Anonymous meetings and its getting better, ha ha! I actually heard a great quote on Duck Dynasty {!!} from Willie, something to the effect of: There comes a time when you need to get rid of old stuff to make room for new memories. I'm trying. Really, I am. But I have my relapses...
And apparently I've developed this thing where I keep other people's garbage! What is that?! The most recent occurrence of that was at my Grannie's house. She has been attending meetings as well {ha ha}, and was getting rid of lots of "junk" from her office she retired from a year back. Lots of office supplies and more office supplies. A lot of it we would term nowadays "vintage." But, lots of it still usable. So most of it came home with me, including this plastic molded desk caddy. Not much to look at really, but the molded motif caught my eye, and I knew I could make it pretty.
