Is it only Friday?

 This is just part of a mosaic wall in our basement

(years ago I just started making it).

The clean up crew had to knock some of it down

and we paid extra so that the construction crew 

could build a wall where a small door used to be

and to put french doors where a bigger opening was,

 right next to the smaller one.

Yes. It was a little weird.

The mosaic wasn't 100% completed before

but now I have lots to fix

and I'm looking forward to it.

 Two rugs were ruined in the flood in December

but I bought a couple more to make things more cozy.

This is one from Ikea.

If you look closer

(I don't think you can in this picture)

you would see sparkles throughout the rug.

You need some sparkle in a family room.

I love this rug.

It adds a little whimsy.

You need a little or a lot of whimsy in a family room.

We have been working at putting things back together

but I have to clean it before it gets put back.

This has been a tough week

and I am giving myself a pass on my self-imposed

new project and new recipe this week

(although, putting things back together

seems like a big project to me).

If I finally make one, then bonus.

My biggest project this week is keeping a certain kid 

alive and happy.

If I get other things done

it's all gravy.

Here are some things I loved this week:

Something about these I just love.

I saw something about this on no less than three different blogs.

My husband also wants to live in Hawaii.

Love this. And this.

Intriguing.  

This made me smile.
