Eve
Wild thing. Office assistant. Pillow topper. Beauty.
Found in Dad’s cattle trailer Dec 24, 2007. Said “good bye” April 13, 2020…
Beginning: Christmas Eve. Ending: Easter.

Friday Photo: Eve, let’s read a book
14 OctLet’s read!
Our alcove with LED pot lights is “purrrfect” for reading “old-fashioned” books. Eve joined me in the adjacent chair for each chapter.
This week we read the old-fashioned format…paper, hard cover, jacket of Legends and Lies, The Patriots by David Fisher. We recommend reading this compelling history of the founding of the United States, especially in an election season. Our politics were messy then, as now.
Launching…2015 in review
5 JanHappy New Year! Time to review the 2015 annual report!
WordPress has helper monkeys. Elfcroft has Eve the “office assistant” ready to launch 2016.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,300 times in 2015. If it were a cable car, it would take about 22 trips to carry that many people.
Love these three projects from Shutterfly

2015 Holiday cards and 2016 Calendar
Yes, office assistant “Eve” even appears on my holiday cards. (She is “Eve” because she was found abandoned in a cattle trailer Christmas Eve of 2006).
The second project is a very special calendar for a WWII veteran featuring photos from two trips to the memorial in Washington D.C. (2008 Reunion and 2014 Honor Flight). I discovered last year (don’t know how long the feature has been available) that photos of family members can be dropped in on their birth dates with text! @92 years young, it helps! This 2016 calendar was a quick update of what I prepared for 2015 and saved as a project on the Shutterfly site.
“My Life as an Artist” by Mary Ann Boysen
My cousin Mary Ann Boysen’s career as an artist spans 40 years. She prepared this book as a legacy for her grandsons. She shared her book with me on Shutterfly. Yes, I wanted to have my own copy to “tell the story” of my own 20+ collection of her watercolor originals (plus a few prints). The book format is 11″X14″ and 93 pages is hardly enough to do justice to her life’s work.
Oh! and Shutterfly included with the shipments 40% off discounts thru the end of the year. There may be an update 🙂
Scavenger Hunt
18 Nov
As I read “20 ways to organize your craft space”by Laura Gaskill, I kept thinking “scavenger hunt” because I knew I could find these concepts here at home. One thing leads to another….I turned it into a quiz of sorts and scored myself at 85 of 100.

- Stand paper rolls in basket (with yoga mats)
- Place loose paper in drawers
- Tools/supplies in clear bins w/lids
- For large paper: art portfolio
- Stack fabric on shelf by color
- WIP in totes or baskets
- Stash fabric in wire drawers (discarded wine rack)
- Hang fabric in closet (standing towel rack)
- Arrange spools on thread rack
- Hang tools on peg board X
- Attach scissors to magnetic rail (store in case)
- Small items in lidded glass jars
- Paint brushes in open container
- Handled baskets for frequently used material
- Tiered cake stand as portable caddy X
- Pop-up sewing corner (permanent)
- Put storage on wheels (moving men sliders)
- Desk/dining table double duty (coffee table)
- To do list chalkboard wall (bulletin board)
Office assistant Eve: “Don’t you have something better to do?”
From Houzz on Home Libraries
20 Oct
This article suggests there are three styles (Dewey decimal system not included): bookstore, theme and rainbow order. After paring down and shuffling my books in July, I went with “theme” bookshelves. Laura Gaskill has great advice with photos for oversize books, plan to rotate, display covers, care for rare books, rack ’em (children’s), vertical or stacks, accent with bookends and last but not least….leave room for more!
Coffee table books
My oversize books span decades with The Incredible Year 1968 being a clue. Kenny Rogers, Your Friends and Mine was a gift from my sister in 1987. She had Kenny Rogers autograph it for me. Tennessee, Virginia and Indiana have been home. Hmmmm….I need a rotation plan for these books on the coffee table.
Eve and brass book end
I love bookends and often buy them as gifts. My shelves are so full, I don’t often use bookends myself. However on my desk is a single brass one of a dog and a cat on a stack of books. My grandmother used it for years. Office assistant Eve…insists her photo is better than a brass cat!
Friday Photo: Blurry Furry
10 AprThis week I noticed a lot of photos for a “Blurry” photo challenge/assignment. I can’t resist this one.
TGIF
“Office Assistant” Eve….Thank God it’s Friday!
