Sshh...I swiped it from the tool shed

Yesterday it was really nice weather outside- I'd say the Temp was mid-to upper 60's.

I've been baby sitting the grands since Honey retired. After nap time we all went outside. The grandkids and I strolled down to the shed to scrounge around in there and see what we could find.

It paid off!

I came back and unloaded all this *stuff* into an old muffin tin. It took the better part of an hour to sort the screws, bolts, springs, washers, keys, door-knob hootises, and copper whats-it's , drill-bits and thing-a-ma-bobs -with the grand-son's help of course. What would an afternoon of sorting junk be, with out a 2 year olds help, anyway?

(there's little hand inside that sleeve and it helped do the sortin') 

Once we were done...

not only did I have a really cool muffin tin full of organized and neat stuff --

But I also had this swell looking box!

Complete with *original* rope and hose handle.

Not long ago- when organizing a new workspace INSIDE the house- I happened upon some sweet wheels. I ran inside and grabbed those and the drill

You can sort of see them now at the bottom of the box.

(you may click any picture to make it bigger,btw)

and here is my new box now. Holding LOTS of my favorite things--

old issues of Decorating and Cottage type magazines.

I am swooning! I love my *new* magazine wagon!

Yes! yes, yes I do!

I might also add this box used to belong to my brother.

He used it for tools in the floor board of his big ol' pick-up truck.

I don't know how we ended up with it; but somehow we did.

He phoned me today and I told him about it. He remembered the box.

He thinks I'm nuts. (smile)

Now below is a sample of some of the items I've crocheted this week...just for fun.

a couple of dish cloths and another dish-mop. I have already used the first dish-mop I made last week remember the yellow one. These things work fabulous! After I am finished with it; I rinse it out in scalding hot water and soak it in a dish pan of baking soda and then hang it to dry- to keep it fresh.

I'm hooking up with Donna's Funky Junk Interiors SNS --

be sure and check out other projects over there!
