The Loft: Butches and Femmes in their 40s, 50s and over.

Hey Lofters,

How are you all? Not much going on here, just recovering health wise and taking care of the kitties etc. Weather dandy of course.

Our city has its annual Old Spanish Days, we call it Fiesta. Four days of locals and 600k tourists drinking margaritas, listening to mariache bands, watching flamenco dancing, and a huge equestrian parade.

I don't really attend it much, too crowded, lol.

What's everyone up to?

Happy Sunday lofters. What's every one up to today? Me? Five foot three, that's me!

Oh, let's see, it's hot muggy uggy outside, I scored a wall cupboard with a hidden ironing board inside. It's dirty and ugly but not for long. Just cleaned it, gonna cool off, then paint interior, let dry, then line with wall paper. It's gorgeous with fancy design, cream and white, luscious.

Then will add shelves, cork panels and maybe a small mirror. Will be part of my Femme cave redo. Did you know that Medusa started a Femme cave thread? Check it out. I bumped it, should be easy to find.

We should start a revolution and claim our sacred space

Who's with me?

Bought a gorgeous sink stand, black, for a kitchen, has wide shelf on bottom perfect for large decorative baskets or boxes. Or kitty nap place. Now I can get rid of other less attractive cabinets.

Morning peepers, where is everyone? I'm busy as usual. Ran out of insulation for ceiling. Am bummed. Need one more package to finish.

Now I can concentrate on fixing the inside. I need inspiration, so I will pull out my eye candy mags to inspire my creative flow. Wrestled my black cabinet in, it's going to look fabulous with baskets on the bottom shelf. So chic white trash. Wabi Sabi this. Found the cutest kitchen towels, will think about getting for camper kitchen. May go back to SAM'S and get the bright green towels. Or just make my own. Need counter top for black cabinet. Would prefer to make my own tiles, but don't have studio space.

Have a great curly grapevine that I will use as a towel rack. Will look so rustic. Going to hang curtains today, wash windows. Finish some cafe curtains if I can figure out if sewing machine works. Should just buy a new one but I'm frugal .... aka tight.

Okie dokie y'all chat with you later!

Goodness you sound busy Sweet!

My dog is sleeping on her nice big cushion. She hasn't started snoring yet though.

Not sure what I'll get up to this weekend although I have a mountain of paperwork to get completed before the end of the this month. Sexy. Not.

Just found this thread. Guess I qualify for the over 50 crowd. Somebody bunch over so I can squeeze in my walker. LOL At least that's how I think it's gonna feel when I get my arse out for my run after taking the last 4 days off. By the time I hit the turn around point I'm gonna be feeling every one of those 52 years.

Have a good day everyone.
