The Weekly Story ~ wk 23

I honestly thought July was going to be a quieter month... being the holiday season and with Ramadan around the corner... *sigh*.. I was soooooooo wrong!! I've been bussier than ever.. at work there always seems to be so much to do.. at home.. keeping my girlies entertained is a full time job.. LOL.. Yes.. it really is!! Thankfully.. my mom does it part time.. Bless.. Thank God for mommy...

Anyway.. on another note.. Did I tell you I went of on this mental excursion to a warehouse in Ajman.. Well.. I found a mental friend to take me there...

It was a total junk warehouse.. and I found some treasure.. *smiles*.. This is what I picked up...


and this is what I've made of it... I like the idea of storing spare cushions & mats at a place where you can pick them up.. and use them.. What do you think??

Do you think it would look better as a side table? Well... I'll leave this for a while.. and that'll be project next.. 


I spent all of Thursday and Friday ... cleaning and de-cluttering.. on Friday.. I started the day at 05.30am... and finished by 8pm.. from the kitchen to the kids rooms.. to cabinets and floors.. I was so exhausted at the end.. and had such a bad back ache... that I simply crashed.. 

No... don't laugh!! :)


And here are two pics.. of making the house all pretty *smiles*..

The pic of top is from a village called 'Baitul'.. and a special friend got it for me.. However, I think this prety lady is rather lost in the midst of the sofas... 


So I know.. I've been promising to visit you for a while... But I don't have any time this week.. but promise to pop by this month.. for sure!! :)

  7. Lovely post and photos! Always nice to see something old restored and used again. Do tell us how you polished this big urn. Polishing brass is a headache and while the lime-salt combination works for me, I don't know if you can use it for such a large item. So let us know!
