Ever since the rain came through the other day, my knees have felt better. I am still waiting to hear from the doctor's office on the exact scheduled date. I have been able to do some more ridding out upstairs in the old office. Makes me feel good to be able to get something accomplished.
I usually put off shopping as long as I can, as it doesn't seem enjoyable to me. But I did have a great day shopping today! What made it all the nicer was I had gotten a sizable refund check in the mail from a hospital bill on which I had overpaid.
I got a new filter for my humidifier that I run in the winter, because the woodstove does make the air dry. Beings I will have to be home pretty much through Jan and part of Feb after knee surgery, it seemed pretty important to me.
I found a a baby gate on sale at wally*world, to use when I want to block Izzy in the rear of the RV.
Much to my surprise they also had a replacement shower hose/head combo I needed for in the RV, so I picked that up as well,
....... and a new set of knitting needles I needed to make this sweater for my dog, Izzy.
As I was about to leave WW, I came across this diplay of electric room heaters. The ancient one I had been using in my painting room was, shall we say, iffy as to the safety of it. I decided, no time like the present to replace it. Isn't it just TOO CUTE??? And, for my blogging friend Jo, out in Washington, I could even bring it along in the RV if needed, and was missing my home wood stove, lol.
But .... my main reason for shopping was to go to HobbyLobby, where I got 3 HUGE canvases and a couple large tubes of paint I needed for a large commission painting I am starting on. The customer will be here tomorrow to discuss particulars of it with me and pick out the size canvas they want it.
(this painting is crrently in process ....)
After coming home I made a large pot of tea and put my feet up to relax. I was pretty pleased with my profitable shopping day, and very thankful to the Lord. I believe He was mindful of my knees and directed my path to enable me to accomplish this much in one day!
Hope you all enjoyed the sunshine today!

Wow Sunny so many great pics today! Love the antique stove, your paintings are beautiful and the green knit sweater...adorable!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your knee surgery. Everyone will keep you in their thoughts and prayers and with updates we'll be sure to send good vibes! Cheers! ~M
I think you would enjoy painting the boardwalk trail through the cypress swamp that I was on yesterday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun shopping day - and I love that new heater - too too cute.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the new painting.
Great finds Sunny! It's just too cool to get extra money & spend it wisely like you did. I love it, the little faux fp for the studio looks great. Love the little dog sweater too, Izzy gets to step out in style :-)
ReplyDeleteI had my surgery on Wednesday. Now I'm recouping in my RV, finally getting a chance to catch up on blogs.
I love wood heating stoves! Izzy looks adorable in the pretty sweater! Cant wait to see what you paint! blessings,Kathleen
ReplyDeleteThe crocheted sweater pic is too cute! Did you also crochet the one for your teapot?
ReplyDeleteI love the teapot cover. Never seen one of those before. You have such neat things.
ReplyDeleteLove your teapot cozy. I have always wanted on ever since a dear friend of mine's grandmothe made her one years ago. Oh well I dream. Have a great day.
