Hint for Lamp Shades, Flowers, Cow, Deck, Cards, Shed and March
Either a pleated
or a flat lampshade, they
collect dust.
All you need is a cleaning brush.
Take the shade off,
step to the porch and
take a brush to the shade.
BYE
BYE
DUST!
Then, stand back from the shade
and spray with fabric
air freshener.
ot only is it
clean of dust, it smell
GOOD!
If you did not know this
about me, then let me share...
I have to have flowers in my
yard. I debated and debated
doing flowerbeds at the new
place.
Almost decided against it,
cause last yr my beds were
a disaster, but then I took
into consideration that I
was sick the first nine months of
last year.
SO.....with that said,
I have not actually made a
flowerbed, but I have started on
plants.
I planted daffodils along
side of my sidewalk.
I have also purchased
some ever green bushes
that I am going to plant
up near the road to block some
of the traffic coming and going.
Planting, needs to happen now!
Out and about the other
day and I saw some
buzzards lurking around,
and a cow just standing
on the other side of the
fencing, watching!
It was cute....except for
the buzzards.
The boys came over last
weekend and moved stuff on the
deck that needed to go to
the shed, to the shed.
I finally got around to
apply a lock to it so things
needed to move!
With that being done, I
decided to make my comfy
place on the deck.
I moved the tv and the stand
out there.
Love that the deck is
protected by the house and
the rain and stuff barely comes
in.
I hung some lace curtains
I decided would not
be using in the house. I did not
want to venture out for
curtain rods so I
hung them on pieces
of the tree that had fallen
in the woods.
Added some decor to the
tv stand.
A throw over the
chair.
Since the deck is long and narrow,
it is a challenge to
do decorating
of it.
But I decided I needed
the sitting area, and it had
to be right out the
kitchen door so the tv would
be protected by the house.
The next area down from
it will be a table and chairs...
then I still have some room to
play with.
When Julie had a going
away for me at the venue,
Emily and her adorable
family made me a card.
I thought it was to cute
not to have out, so I
hung it.
Right under my
protecting cross stitch
piece.
Also, a couple years ago,
after sending a card to a friends
hub that was fighting cancer,
I got a card from her,
one she had printed of
pics of birds she had taken.
I had it standing on a shelve
in my other kitchen but
I decided to frame and hang
it also.
I had lunch with Theresa last
weekend. She hand delivered
my Bday card. She did not want
it to be crushed in the mail.
It also needed to hang!
I love these cards, they
came from the heart of the person
that gave them to me, and
I wanted to see them daily.
It's done, except for painting
on a bird, then I
will seal it.
What do you think?
I love it!
Since I started it in the winter,
I painted that first, and went from
there.
Today, as I write this it
is March 1st,
What is the saying, March
comes in like a lion, goes
out like a lamb?
Guessing we will need to see
how it goes out but it came
in somewhat like a lion,
turned off cold again and
rainy.
The good thing about
March
brings us closer to
the clocks being turned
forward and the days
longer!
