Has it been a while since I posted anything?? Quarantine time flies I guess, when you are extremely bored with absolutely not enough to do. Thank goodness my babies, Brian, Cassi and Parvati came down from the bay area to visit. We all went down to Dana Point and visited the San Clemente Outlets. Cassi, Parvati and I did some shopping too. I was able to take this pic of my kids and Rexy. Fun times but went way too fast. I so wished we all lived closer. Brian and Cassi are expecting, baby is due November 5th, Election Day. Our family is over the top excited!
I think all of us have done a little bit of internet shopping, it almost makes us too lazy to do anything, especially with free shipping makes it even better, but I’ve been probably shopping too much, lots of wishing with that too. I found this purse that stopped me in my tracks . . . maybe something to wish for at Christmastime or might even gift it to myself. Tory Burch has the cutest bags, for sure. Well, I decided I would weave my hair instead, not as expensive as the purse . . . lol!
Well you know the season is about to change again . . . as usual, I get too excited to wait for the appropriate time to decorate . . . is there such a thing, as appropriate time? I don’t think so lol!
As long as I’ve known Rexy, he has always drank tea in the morning, me always coffee, I’m sort of not drinking it as often anymore. This warm weather we have been having lately, has sort of died down a little, so Rexy and I have been sitting in the patio in the morning. Maybe the coffee thing is, me getting older. Well, I recently had a birthday, which after 60, you just don’t count them anymore. My daughter, Cassandra bought be this beautiful statue for my birthday, part of the Willow Tree Collection, this one is called “Close to me”. I love it and its looks absolutely beautiful on the dresser. Thank you baby-girl!
I can’t believe Fall is here . . . like I mentioned earlier, 2020 has gone by lighting fast.
As usual, I always have a little bit of cross stitch with my decor. This is an old one, but one of my favorites. I’m sorry, I can’t quite remember the designer, nor the name of the pattern. My cow always seem to stay out all year long. That’s a “Buzza Motto” pic by J.B. Donnie. My Mom, has an amazing collection of these, displayed on a wall in her hallway. She has collected them for years, as long as I can remember.
Rexy and I often go for walks in the neighbor, we came across this tiny sparrows nest. I had to find something to set it in, a tiny watering pot. I have tons of pinecones all over the house, we collected a bunch of them in 2016 and they have held up pretty good. When we brought them home, I baked them and added some cinnamon to them also, can’t really smell the cinnamon anymore.
I think this cross stitch from Blackbird Design, “Octopus Garden”, a Beatles Tribute, will be like my cow, stay out all year long. Loving the colors, looks good with the kitchen too.
This red birdhouse has been with me for many years, good memories for my kids when they come home for the holidays . . . my favorite time of the year. The cross stitch below is by Kathy Barrick, her designs are amazing. This one is called “Little Lamb”. Fun stitch for sure.
Decided to stitched this at the last moment, being that the country has been on all of our minds lately, I was feeling patriotic. I’ve always wanted to stitch this one, its been around for a long time, by Blackbird Designs, “Summer Jubilee”. I trimmed it with chenille, the color is “Union Jack”, I displayed it with my black bird cage in the entry on my black dresser. The bird cage was a lucky find at an antique store up north.
Lots of blessings and hopefully I’ll post something sooner and not later xoxo
Colossians 3:15-17
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, sing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
