My Project for the Week

Well, I still have not been feeling very good. I don't think that I have ever had any kind of sickness stick around so long. I have just been trying to keep moving and doing stuff. This week at work I started another project. Our office has always looked like some sort of large closet! We have always had random papers everywhere and boxes of envelopes in strange places. And because we work around a shop, it is way dusty. Dad had a picture that he took in Alaska printed large and he matted and framed it. Now when Heather and I painted my office, we painted it off-white with a green tint in it. The picture that my dad chose has a lot of green in it and then he matted it with a burgundy and a green. It is hanging above my desk and it looks amazing. I have been wanting to do something to make our office look more like an office, I just didn't quite know what to do though. Once the picture was hung, it gave me the inspiration that I needed.
This picture pulls the green tint in the paint out for everyone to see, which alone has mad the difference! (This is my desk now!)
So on Thursday, I started project decorate and clean the office. I spent all of the afternoon cleaning out cupboards, drawers, and shelves. Then I organized our stuff so that we could find it, but it wasn't just lying around.
I made those flower pens a long time ago and I like them right there!
I also went to Hobby Lobby and got stuff to do a little flower arrangement. I like it!
Well, for any of you who have seen my office, hopefully you will appreciate this as much as I do! It just feels cleaner and prettier. I have been learning a lot in my sewing class and I am quite a ways ahead of most of my class. I haven't really been in the mindset of school but when it comes to that class, I am. My other two classes have been hard for me to keep up with and feel motivated about. I just have to keep trudging along since I am so close to finishing!
