window redo

 

 

Remember this picture from Image Inspiration on Sunday?  Well inspire it did.  I changed the items the rest in my bathroom window.  I needed to take the Christmas lights down and a few other things.  I added two stained glass pieces, a clipping off of one of my plants (because the cactus I wanted to go there was too big) and a few other things including my windrocks from our trip.

 

 As the vine roots in the bottle of water it will grow longer and fill the window.

 

This little deer is very breakable.  With my bathtub being right below and tile floors I always get nervous moving him.

Yes the tree is still there.  I like the birds on it.

 

 

Around Here

 

1 Oddly enough, on Sunday morning, the day after vacation, I got up and cleaned out the recipe cabinet at the same time dug out all the receipts for 2015 tucked in the corner and got the divided up by month.  One step towards done I reckon.

4 Shaun asked if there were any more Christmas goodies after lunch on Sunday so I whipped these up.

On Saturday evening, just hours after arriving home from our four wheeling trip, I sat down at my computer.  I admit I have been avoiding browsing my favorite blogs lately simply because of disinterest.  I had thought of a couple on the way home and looked them up.  As I went through a couple of posts on MoontoMoon I got stuck on this picture.  At first I thought of a succulent that I still have from my cousin's wedding and then of an odd piece of stained glass that is in a drawer in the craft room and then of another piece of stained glass that is in our bedroom.  All of which will go in the bathroom window above the tub when I take down the bird tree and put away the strand of lights now on the windowsill. 

 

I then proceeded to write down my list of things to do tomorrow and was inspired to do things like trim leaves on house plants and rethink the kitchen dust shelves.  I also need to find my 2016 journal and clean up the craft room as well as the shower and a multitude of other things.  But... when one single image sends my creative and homey brain into a frizzy it is a good thing. 

 

Vacation detaches you from home for a spell.  I admit that when I walked into our house it felt good but it felt cluttered.  Maybe because the cabin we stayed in doesn't have much on the walls.  Or maybe because we had a very busy Christmas day and left early the next morning to go out of town for a week and some of my Christmas things were still out.  Time just sort of stood still while we were gone.  I've come home and see things that need to be done which feels a little stressful but I am home now and have the time to do them.  So maybe this image needed to serve as my inspiration to re-do while I am at it.  It's not a major re-do by any means at all.  Just a simple "this goes here now".

 

Even though I love to drink coffee in the morning in the chilly mountains during a week long vacation, I can't wait to have a cup looking out of my own windows tomorrow morning.

An Angel with wings, a silver snow flak, the beginning of Merry, four Santas, a little bell, 450, a fuzzy outfit and a blue candle. 

 

Boy this one's gonna make you look!

Five white churches and one red, a reindeer, a stool made of spools, two camels, the number twelve, five bottle brush trees, a candy cane, a red truck, a snowy scene and three pine cones.

 

 

Getcha zoom out. 

A lava lamp, MLK, four mirrors and a star, a wooden bowl, a silver bow, children kneeling in prayer, a hand in a cup, a clock with no hands and eight old photos. 

 

Wow... I could just keep going with this one...

Two dolls in blue dresses, a gold star and a key, a kissing angel, the dating game, a bunch of daisies, two horses lying down, a gold Santa, eight suit cases, a silver Christmas tree, wrapping paper and "owl really" three times.

 

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
