Cooler Weather...

Well now with the cooler weather on the way it gives you that homey cozy feeling. To take a minute for yourself and sit back with a nice cup of tea, coffee, or hot cocoa my personal choice and a nice warm sweater or blanket perhaps sitting out on your porch or deck before old man winter arrives. This evening while I was waiting for hubby to arrive home from work I was able to sit out on the porch in our rocker reading a book with the wind blowing the trees it was very relaxing. Lately I have been thinking about the holidays and what gifts to buy. I really would like to do some handmade gifts this year I think that is very special. I have been thinking about taking a knitting class or perhaps a sewing class. I see these projects that people create and I think I want to be more crafty. I feel that it is there for me I just need the extra push (or help) to get it going. Next week I think I will be doing some calling around to check out prices for these classes. Who knows maybe if I get really good I can sell some of my goods on http://www.etsy.com/. If you have not checked out that site yet take a gander when you get a minute. This is where you can take your handmade crafts and sell them on the web there are some very crafty people out there this site gives you a chance to check out their goods and purchase them. I have been seeing people decorate for fall and Halloween. I feel as if I am behind. When do you start putting your pumpkins and corn stalks out?

Almost There...

Well after a few weeks happy to say Trim Work is up. Wallpaper is done expect a few spots we have to fix now just hanging the boarder. Then time to decorate can't wait. We have not really had many decorations in this room so this is kind of like a blank slate. So far I know of a few things we will be hanging in this room. A few years ago my mom got us a history on our last name with the coat of arms. I am going to go to our local craft store and have that professionally framed. I know I want to include some flameless candles in this room as well. So I am on the look out now for some decorations for this newly finished room what fun....I am loving these pocket watch clocks from Pottery Barn I really like the bronze finish. Hmmm ideas.
