Collecting my Random Thoughts, Kitties, and a Snapshot of my Commonplace Journal πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ“šπŸ•―

Oh how I miss my mornings, coffee & notebook in hand, brainstorming posts here on Hive!! These days I only have a few moments to dedicate to blogging and, as a result, have a lot to share. Instead of an article on a specific topic, today I bring you a snapshot into the past few days.

And as it is Caturday, I start with a sweet scenario of my cats on the roof outside their cat door.

Unfortunately, I havn't been able to spend as much time with my cats as I like to. Big projects and long hours have kept me away. Luckily the big project in question is the building of our future home where we will all live together someday soon.

And in that area of life things have been moving along quickly. As of today we have a roof! Well, part of a roof and the rest coming shortly.

Yesterday as I walked home from the build I felt inspired to pull out the notebook in my backpack rather than scroll on my phone.

This notebook started out as a travel bullet journal where I wrote down goals & to do list during my last, two week stay in California. Since then I have added a few new pages, pasted over accomplished to do lists;

My phone & computer are among my most valued possesions. The images they hold and the access to a global economy are so important to my lifestyle. More than anything I value the ability to share my creative projects with the world.

Flipping through this common place book reminded me that ... sometimes, it is nice to curate images that are primarily meant for me.

The roof looks gorgeous -- love the way you've arranged the different colours. Love your creativity and how you make hte time to have a journal.

Thank you!! It is great to read positive feedback on the roof. I will admit, when the guys were installing the roof & I was on the ground level passing up the wood and was quite nervous as to how it might turn out. I worried the colors & pattern woulf be too much.

It's a good step to have a roof, good luck in building your home :3

The roof is so important. Now we can work on the rest of the house in the shade & protected from rain 🌈🌻

Manually curated by brumest from the @qurator Team. Keep up the good work!

I really like what you've done with the contrasting colours of stain on the wood ! Are you going to find a way to shine light up onto it once everything is done ? It deserves a bit of showing off πŸ˜€

So glad you like it! At first it was a mistake of buying two different tones of stain & then we decided to embrace the mistake and added another color and pattern. And yes it will be the main feature of the room. Today we decieded to choose the colors for the rest of the house so that the roof is the maon feature!
