    My small space hacks have definitely included the use of hooks!
    I think 3M sticky solutions are becoming my best friends.we hung some light paintings with them. I am going to get a sticky cord holder for my co do and paint it wall color. Hooks and mor hooks to hang on wall and elsewhere.

    Great solution, IL! Small-space solutions are always a cause for celebration around here as well.

    I am not sure. It may be some kind of composite, or may be wood veneer over something. It was cheap in the vintage store.

    I don’t know if drilling into it will work hence my plan for 3M sticky hooks.

    This photo demonstrates the excellent help I have these days setting up flower show exhibits. Madison Cat likes to assist. I did not pose Madison here. She got up in that space by herself. And in doing so, she pointed out one area that perhaps should filled with some object although some negative space is good.

    This is one of the more archane things flower show ladies make, an “exhibition table” which suggests food service using whatever materials but must include some plant material. My plant material is palm leaves.

    What a clever assistant!

    I like that piece--I think the palm leaves go well with the colors and pattern of the plates.

    This project got me through the dull winter. It's largely Blackwork, with a bit of cross stitch, Kloster blocks, herringbone and French knots. Off to the framers next week.
    ETA it measures 10 x 10 in.

    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    that is a beautiful piece! So delicate. And pink and green is always the right color combo choice.
