Happy Saturday! I am about to go make some breakfast this morning with eggs from my chicken coop, but I first wanted to update the ole blog! Finally getting the house back in shape from after Christmas and I certainly don't rush too much doing that cause I love all the stuff! Can't wait till Christmas comes again! For now, Caitlin and I are planning her Valentine themed sleepover so it's all about the hearts right now!
I haven't had too much time for crafting lately but I do have some projects I plan to start very soon such as a redo of a wooden window I have as a decoration and I hope to do some Easter crafts. I had signed up on another blog of someone I adore to participate in her Valentine swap but I withdrew as I just don't have the time right now to create anything worth sending someone! Between appointments for my son and Mom, my down time has been spent shopping and cleaning! I am working on a cool Charles Wysocki cross stitch picture though!
I love my Valentine tree this year. It's bigger and better than ever! Each year I add to it. I should start thinking about transforming it into an Easter tree... For now I am enjoying the glorious red and white lights. I have heart decorations and red and white candy ornaments. Here's what it looked like when it snowed!
Let it Snow! Let it Snow! but not too much.......
I don't know if I showed this already. I have several kerosene heaters and this one had a glass body that unfortunately cracked :( So I had to remove the glass a while back and I found this awesome clear covered jar in the thrift store and put a timer/batter candle in it so it still lights and added my pip berries, etc....but it was still missing something. When I went o PA recently I found this great stamped burlap and bought it. What do you think? It looks adorable in person and I'm pretty pleased with the change.
I like the light in the heater...great idea! And your dolls for let it snow sure are sweet! Hope you have nice weather for the fun things you have planned! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea to put a faux candle in your kerosene heater.... cute!

You valentine tree is so wonderful! I love how you are using your heater with a battery operated light. Very cozy. How fun to be planning a valentine party with your daughter. You are such a good mom. Until you said that Easter was in April, I didn't even make the connection. Yippee! I like it spread out a bit too.
