Moving from Here to There...








When it was decided that it would be best just to remove my old blog and start another, I made a couple of commitments to myself.  First of all, even though my favorite thing about blogging had been the pictures, and lots of them, I decided I would only post one picture for each new post here at Hill Top Post.

Of course, anyone could easily guess that the second promise to myself was to post more often.   I didn't actually get around to committing to exactly how much more, but definitely more than once a month - with more writing!  Ouch!

Now, that one picture promise thing really came back to haunt me (No pun intended.  Spiders are kind of scary, you know.) when I wrote about my new friend in the previous post.  The evening that I took my camera outside I had hopes of  getting just  one good image of My Charlotte as she was weaving her silken threads.  When I realized that she was not bothered in the least by my being there, I got up close with her and took at least a dozen shots of her at work, which all turned out to be awesome pictures.  Oh dear, how could I choose just one?  Maybe, I will go over to Flickr and post more.

So, here's my one picture of the day.  It's an old old pie safe with screen wiring in the doors.  On my previous blog, I would have posted pictures of this old cabinet when it was setting inside my little garden shanty.  That was before I decided I needed it moved inside to my sewing room.  And, I would have definitely posted another picture of the old cabinet that I bought to take its place in the shanty.  Well, that one will just have to wait for another day.

Of course, all of this moving from here to there, didn't exactly please He-Who-Had-To-Help.  The old pie safe was taking the place of a bookcase that was loaded down with "stuff."  (My eighth grade English teacher would never allow us to use that word.  I guess his wife didn't have a sewing room.  :~))  The bookcase contents were downloaded to the floor, and the new piece was shoved into place.  He-Who-Was-Happy-To-Be-Finished went on his way, and I went to work cleaning and organizing the sewing room.  That little job took only a measly two days.  And, I love it ! (I really thought about adding a third commitment to my blogging experience - not to say "I love it."  But, I really do!)  And, I really, really love my clean sewing room.  And, I really, really love the new cabinet in the Garden Shanty!  And, I really really love Hill Top Post.

The pie safe sure is a nice piece of furniture.
Good luck with your one picture and posting more often.
Think that one picture quota will last long?! : )

I've been looking for a piece like your pie safe for my kitchen. Good luck with your promises to post one photo. I could never do that! Looking forward to reading more on Hill Top. Love the name, by the way!
