Tweaking The House

 

Steve's Birthday was this week . . .

I decided to find some projects to help

get my mind off feeling sorry for myself.

It's an easy trap to fall into,

if you're not actively aware of the harm

it can do.  

Instead I want to hold fast to my 

storehouse of 

wonderful memories and blessings.

 

 

I ordered two white quilts 

from Amazon and then went out 

to my fabric stash and made

some new pillowcases. 

 

I had two red comforters that

were left from our sailboat.

They were put away and almost

forgotten.

I folded them at the foot of each bed.

 

The red and white quilt is 

one I made a few years ago.

 

The little heart banner was one 

I made to decorate the mantle one year.

 

And the framed artwork was made by 

two of our sweet little granddaughters,

years ago on a visit.

They always loved going crafts 

with Grandma 

and

Cooking with Grandpa.

 

This was a yard sale find

years ago . . . transformed

into a chalkboard.

 

  That's what I did with the bedroom.

By the way, it is available 

for guests.

On my last post I showed you

my painting project in the kitchen.

 

Well, I wasn't happy with the curtains.

So, I tweaked them, too.

All from my stash . . . Hey!!!

 

I think this goes better 

with our blue and white dishes.

Can't post without showing you 

how big my girl is growing.

She'll be 4 months old tomorrow.

 

If that wasn't enough to do . . .

I also started some peppers

and tomatoes in the mudroom.

 

I purchased one of these this year.

They are suppose to make your 

plants grow twice as fast. 

 

You know it won't be long before

gardening season :)

 

Last but not least . . .

I received this lovely 

thank you card from our three

great-grands for the quilts

I made them 💗
 

Well, that's my post.

If you're still here,

Thank you so much for sticking

with me.

You are all very special to me.

 

God bless you all!

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
