Stealing hearts...

I don't know what we were thinking...

...other than, ain't he sweet!

Happy Thanksgiving!

The only Thanksgiving decorations I had

was this cute Turkey pillow I made years ago.

I saw this here.

That Aunt Peaches is so creative!

I thought, hey, I could do that!

I changed it just a little bit.

And taped them to some string I already had.

I saw this here.

 But I liked the watercolor on the feathers so much

that I thought I'd watercolor the banner.

So I did.

It's also made of paper and I just taped it 

to the same kind of string.

It'll do.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

According to my iPhone, lately.

Sometimes a girl just needs two of something...

That sweet adorable little girl

sometimes wants two "binkies"

(I never called pacifiers 

anything other than a pacifier

but this little girl

actually calls them

"ginky"

and it's adorable).

Here are some other things I loved:

A genius simple idea for Thanksgiving. 

A genius simple banner for Thanksgiving. 

Genius cardboard projects. 

Helping Hands.

Love much of this.

And this.

And this

(found a new blog through

A beautiful mess---

a blog you must follow)!

A beautiful, tender and heartbreaking video

that will make you fall in love 

with a blob of sand 

and a blob of snow.

Hope you have a great weekend!

 

Thank Goodness for an occasional Blue Sky!

Getting Slammed.

We tend to get the lake effect

when it comes to rain and snow

in our little corner and shelf of the valley.

What were we thinking when we moved here?

It certainly wasn't snow.

 

Yesterday and Today!

 Yesterday was incredibly lovely!

No wonder!

Look what was brewing!

Here are some other things I loved:

This adorable trailer makeover 

makes me want to go out and buy

an old vintage trailer!

This new (to me)

blog is darling!

These photos of flor tiles

make me want to go get me some flor tiles!

I loved this.

And this.

Amazing artist here.

Beautiful here.

And here too.

Elections have come and gone.

I have been disheartened 

by a few peoples reaction because

"their" candidate won

(and what a few people stated

 would happen if 

the other candidate won

and how a few people categorized

many people that voted for the "other guy").

This is why this reaction,
by Aunt Peaches,

 the "day after"

was such a breath of fresh air.

I will pray for whomever is the POTUS

and I don't feel the need to move to another country

if the person isn't who I voted for.

I can be friends with people that don't 

share the same political, religious, decorating and/or 

how you prefer your eggs in the morning, views.

I admire people who can be kind and level headed

no matter their political leanings.

 I hope you have a great weekend!

Piano wall painted.

 Years and years ago I painted this wall green.

I liked it then.

But I have tired of it.

We recently got new carpet

 (the first time in the twelve years we've lived here

and we can only guess how much older that carpet was!

And we do think it was at least 20 years old,

if not much older than that.

Ewww).

I decided I wanted to paint

that piano wall since

that piano is heavy and it had to be moved 

for the carpet

and we are not likely to move it again for years and years.

It's a boring white-ish paint

but it was left over from our flood repair for downstairs

and I am going for a calmer vibe.

So grateful for new carpet
and completed paint project!!!

It'll do.

More than one true love.

That's one patient cat!

And that's one smitten little girl!
