Valentines Day

 

 

 Happy Valentines Day! 

The trees like this are all in bloom. They even have leaves. That is how warm its been. Yesterday I went out in the back yard and it smelled like flowers. I know that this is a false spring, but it does make me just a bit crazy. I really don't want to go in the house. 

I did though, I got closets cleaned and straightened. I de-cluttered too. I wondered why I saved things that I did. I have a box of old cassette tapes, I still couldn't throw away. I don't have anything to play them on, but I still kept them. I even walked to the trash can with them and made a U turn at the cupboard in my laundry room and put them there. 

While I was working on my Granny rug, I was also working on a rug for one of my tables. I have one more side to bind, but I thought I would show you anyway. Since it is a heart rug.

Its going to be for that table. I thought it would look nice. I was recounting my work that we have accomplished by today, and having finished three rugs since Christmas that is a big deal for me. 

I also was digging through my finished rugs and I found this one, I had forgot about. 

If I remember correctly, I had all of these different red leftover worms and I decided to make them into this rug. I really liked it when I found it and I wished I had found it sooner. Its a nice little rug. 

I wanted to show you a lamp that Ron fixed

 

 

When we had the floor redone, the cord for the lamp was to far away and there was a electric cord to the wall. He got online and figured out how he could make it turn on with just a battery. He had to buy new light bulbs and a power source, but now the light works about four days, on one charge of its battery. So if the power goes out we have a light, if it doesn't last more than three or four  days.

Max our cat, is in the background. Can you see him? He thought I was taking pictures of him. He really likes all of the work we did for him. We are just here to serve him and he rules even the dog. He was playing with her ball last night. Sasha was so grumpy about it. 

I hope you have a great Valentines Day, I think I am going to make Chicken Cordon Bleu and a raspberry cheesecake today.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” ― Melody Beattie
