Stick a fork in me I'm done. Although, I gotta say, the last two days some problems bubbled up at work and the old me would have cried first. The new me went straight to problem solving mode, sans tears.
That feels WONDERFUL.
In other news, fries are in the air fryer. Going for simple, quick and easy tonight. For Tim, leftover pizza.
In other, other news, this is the new area for shooting pictures. That's the baker's rack from the kitchen. Moved it back to the office corner. I'll fill the shelves with camera gear. Nice to have my old corner spot back. I love having a place to shoot stills.
Check out the mummy below. Saw him and had to snap a shot at the store. I love his little elbows and the resting hand. So stinkin' cute.
And that my Boogerbutts is all that's fit to print.
Huggs & Bugs, Me.
Yay, congrats on the problem solving! And you're right -- that little skeleton IS too stinkin' cute!
ReplyDeleteI laughed at your south, south today. So funny.
DeleteFor some reason the mummy is making me smile :)
ReplyDeleteWell done on the problem solving.
All the best Jan

DeleteLove the mummy skeleton. I'm also having left over pizza tonight.
ReplyDeleteYum on the pizza.
DeleteOne of my daughters woukd love the mummy!
ReplyDeleteA store called, Gabe's is where we found him.
DeleteGood for you skipping the tears and going straight to the problem solving. I usually have to do the tears first.
ReplyDeleteNice to have a designated area for anything. You've got a nice set up there
Hey Ann! I'm a tears girl too! It is nice to have that space again. I've missed it.
DeleteI am going to send this mummy to my son, he decorates at work for their halloween party and he already has dozens of skeletons, he could wrap one of them like this and change its look. so happy to see HAPPY whisk happy and posting. great corner for photos. I am impressed at the NO tears and diving right in
ReplyDeleteLoved your art today and the cartoon of yourself. I love that you're having fun with art. That's the best. The skeleton mummy is from Gabe's.
DeleteStay strong, Ivy! You can handle anything.
ReplyDeleteThe amount of open area in your house amazes me. I try to keep my office uncluttered, but there is still no spare open corner anywhere.
Thanks, Alex. I try and do that with the kitchen table, however miles of piles still form.
DeleteWay to go feeling good about how you took care of a problem. That always feels good. I love the mummy. Tis the season. Have a great day!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lori! Happy Fun Spooky Season.
DeleteYou're clearly on a winning path, good for you!!
ReplyDeleteSome day yes. Other days not so much. Thanks, Boud.
DeleteWell done with problem solving! You are in the Hallowe’en spirit early. I am too.
ReplyDeleteVery fun Marie! We started in July this year. So fun.
DeleteWhat a nice setup for photos! That's why yours will look professional looking and mine won't
ReplyDeleteHey Kathy. Thank you. Nice to have the old corner back. Now to finish setting it up.
DeleteYay for instant problem solving mode! And nice looking photo shoot set up!
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanie. Thank you. Happy almost weekend.
DeleteThis is such a fun and uplifting place to visit...The mummy skeleton is fun as well.... It's best to go straight to the problem...good for you
ReplyDeletethanks, Shug. I'm okay with cry first, and that's still gonna happen. Was wonderful though to get to problem solving. One issue remains unsolved. Hopefully find the answer by end of week.
DeleteGlad things are going better for you now and you were able to get straight to problem solving without tears. Huge positive steps. You are amazing :-)
ReplyDeleteThings at work have been better for awhile now which is wonderful. I'll still my sometimes first. That's okay too, but yeah was nice to get cracking on the problem. One issue remains unsolved hoping to find the answer before end of week.
DeleteI want that mummy!!! Excellent idea.
ReplyDeleteGabe's. That's where we saw him.
DeleteThis is a really professional setup! I would have no idea how to do it. You must be well acquainted with fancy camera settings and photography tricks.
ReplyDeleteHey Ginny! Photography is fun! I'm still learning lots as I go.
DeleteIt’s great to hear you’ve embraced problem-solving mode—sounds like a positive shift! Sometimes, it’s the little victories that feel the best.
ReplyDeleteYour setup for shooting pictures sounds perfect, and it’s awesome you have your old corner back. The mummy you spotted is absolutely adorable—those little details really make a difference.
Hope the fries turn out delicious and the leftover pizza is just as satisfying.
Hugs & Bugs right back at you!
Hi Melody! The fries were killer good. Oh my gosh, those details on the mummy, I just love them.
DeleteLove your setup for still photography. I need some of those softboxes too. The lighting in my house leaves a lot to be desired for eBay and other shots. I just never seem to have the extra money to do it. that bakers shelf is perfect too.
ReplyDeleteGood on your problem solving.. way to go.
Sue
Have you tried using a box and line it with fabric? Or tracing paper. I don't know if that would do for your e Bay sells. You can light behind the fabric with battery operated fairy lights. There's a lot we can do with a small space and budget. I betcha YouTube has a few good videos on that.
DeleteI love the mummy. I have an air fryer now and love it.
ReplyDeleteVery cool on the air fryer. What did you make first?
DeleteGood for you for going straight to problem-solving! I hope you are having a good week. It's almost Friday! Yay!! Nice looking baker's rack by the way. I'm sure it's great to have your old photography spot back.,
ReplyDeleteWeek is really, really good. Thank you. That Baker's Ruck we got on Amazon years ago for eighty bucks. That rack has been rolled into the kitchen and back to thecorner, many times. Happy Almost Friday! Yay!
DeleteThat mummy, so contemplative is a crack up!
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie! Yes. So cute. Happy Halloween.
DeleteLove the mummy and good for you with the problem solving!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope your weekend went well.
DeleteSolving problems is the best solution!! When I read your title, I thought you were done with blogging. Glad that is not the case. Love your mummy photo!
ReplyDeleteHey Judee! Thank you for the kind comment. Hope you're cooking up lots of goodies.
DeleteGlad you have a new place to take some still pictures. The skeleton is cute. I don't decorate for Halloween any more, but have about three small skeletons that I haven't parted with yet.
ReplyDelete~Sheri
Hi Sheri! It's nice to have that space back. What made you stop decorating?
DeleteWow, that is a real studio for photography. Here's to many happy hours using it and producing some great photos.
ReplyDeleteLove the mummy, I straight away thought of an Egyptian Mummy when reading it and then saw what it was for real - that is fabulous and just what is missing from my Halloween display. Nothing like that here in the UK but I can see there will be lots in the stores in the USA. Now pondering how to make one for myself - about 4" high will do.
Hugs, Neet xx
Do you have any heavy cardboard boxes? Something thick enough to cut into mummy parts and then wrap those with fabric? Or a thin plywood or press wood even can work.
DeleteThanks it's a small useful space. Haven't gotten to play there yet. Shooting for soon!
Huggs back.
Congratulations on the problem solving without tears, that’s quite an accomplishment. I would not have fared as well. You’ve just given me an idea for tonight’s dinner. I’m putting fries in the air-fryer. Thank you!!! I love your new picture area too. Looks like you’re going to get a perfect amount of light for your photos. We’ve got all our Halloween decorations in the stores now, and a few homes in the neighborhood have started to decorate. Lots of those larger skeletons I noticed too. Thank you for the nice read, have a great rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteWhelp. Today I cried at work. Been a good cry-free run though. I'm happy with that. How we're the air fryer fries? Oh my gosh, yes. Those large Home Depot skeletons are popping up everywhere. The one we saw tonight was three hundred smackers. Wow! Wow!
