Slipcovers And Old Books

I have been working on making slipcovers

So that our children can have dinner on the sea form silk upholstered benches

Once it is ready


So that I don't have to scare them away

Or draw lines around it :)

While Chloe was taking her painting lesson this morning

I went to a library to look for old books

Because it was book sale day

And Chloe has been collecting old books

She has been telling me how beautiful they are



And I, too, noticed today

...They are so beautiful

Foot Prints Of Love

Happiness is a collection of small moments

I have found ruined artificial hydrangea while cleaning

And felt how lucky I am

Lauren likes to pick flowers for me

And this had her foot prints all over it

Foot prints of love

I stopped for a moment

Because ruined artificial hydrangea looked so beautiful

Laying there with love

Take A Peek? Part 2

Remember the old chandelier that has been sitting in my garage?

Well, I did it!

I did it myself

Because my husband has so many projects

That I have given him

And I am not good at waiting

Just like apple of my eyes

I thought I might get electricuted....

Because there were some sparks....

While I was holding the chandelier...

And a few really excited kids....

For the sparks....

Right by my hand...

Just a peek...

Because we are working on our dining set

All different old pieces

That will be tied together

With antique white paint

And sea form silk fabric

Because we are planning many parties this holiday

Adults only parties

With lots of wines and candles

In a small rented cottage

That has a beautiful Swedish country dining room

Autumn Green

It is getting cold

And it has been raining

So I put away everything blue in our bedroom

Because I needed a little bit of warmth

And came our green bedroom

When it is rainy like this

It is time to read

And start making my cup of tea

With vanilla ice cream in it

Because summer is not coming

Any. time. soon. :)

Rainy Wednesday

It is rainy today

Chloe told me she needs long sleeve shirts this morning

So I said, "Sure"

Because apple of my eyes cannot wait in a long line

She might start swimming on the floor

While we wait in a long line

And no one will be shopping

When it is raining like this

So we went to Marshall's after dropping two kids off at school

Because that was the only store open

And apple of my eyes cannot wait

And when we went to Marshall's

I found a nice hat

And a yellow belt

And sweaters for girls

Because I am a sweater girl

And

I am a hat girl

....... And found no shirt

Because apple of my eyes started to communicate

She wants to go home

And watch TV

And eat cookies

So I said,"Let's go home"

Because she is really good at swimming on the floor

Tuesday Inspirations

It has been raining here today

And the groomy weather is making me feel a little bit burned out...

So here are some beautiful rooms

To cheer up the day

And let me (and you) be inspired:)

Happy Cheerful Tuesday!

Desert For Thanksgiving

I don't cook turkey

Because I don't cook anything that resemble how they were when they were alive

That is also the reason why I don't go hunting and start cooking a whole pig in our yard

And start dancing naked around it

Because they always make me feel too guilty to eat

When I see them laying on my table

So my husband has been in charge of cooking for Thanksgiving every year

Because I have very good reasons

....I didn't like my biology class

....And I am not in high school anymore

....So I can skip the trauma

.....that cooking turkey causes me

When he told me

That I haven't changed at all

After seeing me as a bear on my blog

I have decided

To make some deserts this Thanksgiving

Because I am a 36 years old mom of three who enjoyed dressing as a bear

Who wants to show a bit of progress :)

Lovin' The Chill

I am loving autumn

Because I love anything knitted

Especially when it is knitted like this

And when the knitted pair of gloves is $3.49

I don't mind waiting in a long line for a long time

Because my moody children were not with me

They were with my lovely husband

Who loves those moody children as much as I do

Really...

I am so in love with autumn :)

Take A Peek?

My summer fireplace mantle had to go last night
And came autumn mantleAutumn is the season to have friends over for dinner
And to reconnect over wine and desert

It is also the season to light the candles

And start counting down for the holidays

A Hat Girl

I am a hat girl

I have many hats

And I love funky hats

Because I am a hat girl

Hi, it is me

The bear

But don't worry....This is not the hat that I wear when I go outside

Or when I go hunting

Or when I go to catch a wild salmon

No, seriously....

I am a youngest child

And this is just me

Staying true to my duty

To let my sisters make fun of me :)

Happy Cheerful Monday!
