Little White House and Little Black Bag...

Tessie got loose, but I just kept painting gesso on all of the outer walls and ignored her. I pretended she wasn't there and that just annoyed her more.

I had fun, even if she didn't

I finished one coat of gesso on the whole outside.

I also cut out the other two columns in the living room.  I am thinking of adding some back to the left side.  I didn't realize that it was narrower than the right side.  It probably won't bother anyone else, but it looks lopsided to me.

Now to the little black bag.... I had one of these, years ago.  I wore it out.  I have been through a lot of different ways to store my tools, but this one suits me best.  As I said, worn out. 

I got the original at Walmart.   I thought that they were no longer available.  They stopped carrying them shortly after I bought the first one.

I walked into the craft department this morning and saw it.... Then I grabbed it and ran.  It was the only one!

I don't know if someone found it hiding in the back of the store somewhere  or they are going to carry them again.  I wasn't taking any chances.  It's MINE!

See the mess on the shelves of this table?  It all fits in that little black bag, plus a bit more. and there are enough compartments to keep everything in it's place.  Well designed.

After about 10 minutes of transferring... I now have my tools back in their old home.  New to me.  Old to them.  The only thing that I didn't put in is the blue traveling tool roll.  It didn't belong with the rest of the tools anyway. 

Now, I can pick up and go at any time.  Tessie even approves.  There is always a place for her to crawl in and ride to wherever I am going.

Can you tell? I am a happy camper.  Now I have to go take away those baskets and use the shelves for the wallpaper and fabric for Daisy Eulalia's Cottage.

A place for everything and everything in it's place....

See you tomorrow.
