When I take a break, I like to read.Newspapers, magazines, books – my Kindle is my special friend.

I want to have my proverbial cake too.

I know that I need to slow down a fraction and I want to do something when I am doing nothing.
Make sense?  Good.

Things I Like this week is all about the cool DIY projects I would do to my apartment (The Treehouse) if I was allowed, if I owned it or if my landlords say yes.
And some crafty things that I don’t think are a total waste of space … and time.

I get a bend in my neck from looking under the shelves separating me from my guests.
