A new rug

Found this adorable rug on Amazon and had to have it. It's perfect for this space. So cottage-like! Slides easily for when I need to move the table around to clean. Love it!

A new hutch

Remember this little hutch above the fireplace? My son needed it back for his new place. Even though I was using it, this gives me an excuse to make some improvements to this setup. The old setup really appealed to me.  *sigh* but the old monitor was quite small for my YouTube watching. It was…

Crochet rug

Joann fabrics had doorbusters and this jumbo yarn on sale 3 for $20.  They're @1,000 yds each. Before you poo-poo this yarn, hear me out. It's perfect for something I needed - a small washable rug for winter. My feet have been cold on the bare floor when I sit at my table. Pulling from…

Gnome knitting

Just a fun garland on a lazy Sunday. There are no patterns for the bitty clothing, but the undies were a kit from Susan B Anderson - Get it here.

IOD Transfer

Today was about a small update to the fireplace screen. It's just a shed and the fireplace is fake, but it's my happy space. Sanded the old one lightly, since it's mdf. Went with 2 coats of this paint, since it covers anything. This transfer is Midnight Garden by IOD. You line it up, rub…

New furnishings

Found some new pieces for this small space - a linen tower and a wall cabinet. They match and I'm quite happy with them. They aren't hard to put together, but I've heard nightmares about missing parts and things not fitting. I didn't have these issues. At night I do tend to leave the bright…

Fairies gather…

Roses for spring

Restful weekends, catching up with home and the homies living in it. The week is busy, Sundays are for my least strenuous tasks. Today I changed sheets, made waffles, and freshened the hummingbird feeders (daily when it's warm). The middle of the day has been in the she shed, enjoying a cool breeze on a…

Rest, a very Good Friday

The company gave a surprise day off today. I've been so tired and in need of a PTO day, or a few, so I'm grateful for it. I slept in, ran an errand, and now am enjoying some tea in the shed. I've also been watching a mama bird invade my new fern. *sigh* I'm…

Early Irish decor, but that’s ok. ☘

It's been rainy, cold and gloomy for months! Opening the St. Patrick's day box has made me happy with it's cheerful greens. I'm putting out a few things in the freezing rain. “March comes in like a lion, out like a lamb” - looks to be true this year. A green doily Spring is next,…
