Misty, Yarn, Tent, Rocks, Cans, Blue VS Brown,

 Hi,

howdy,

what's up!

For those of you that 

have cats, been around

cats, or just seen 

videos of cats, you know 

that their attention 

can be caught by the littlest

thing, like

yarn.

And if you are not aware 

of all that, let me just 

tell you that crocheting 

with a big ball of gray

of fur around, is not 

easy.

They chase the yarn, they

pull on it, and they 

even sit on it!

Then, they curl up under

the throw that you drape over

the back of the couch, making

a tent for them, and nap.

I have been working away

on the afghan. It started as a 

scrap yarn one, but I threw in 

two different stitches and 

started by going straight across, 

when I flipped and did some rows

going up and down.

I call it a crazy

afghan.

Years ago, after a trip to 

California, where I brought 

back some rocks, I thought 

I would paint on them. 

La Jolla, is beautiful and 

I got this rock there.

My thoughts were to take a rock

from wherever I visited. HAHA

that went nowhere.

I thought I would start that 

thought again. So far, I have

added Montgomery Bell

state park and Piney River.

I painted the last two the

other day and sealed them, sitting

them outside on Tuesday.

Now, to remember to pick up

rocks! I have a really cool

one to work on that my

brother gave me but have

not started it yet. I am going 

to give it back to hime

when I have it done.

It is shaped like a piece

of pie. I am going to paint

it to look like a piece of

pie.

Moving on, Wednesday night, 

I took some cans I set 

aside and played with them.

I had some peel and stick

pieces of wallpaper from 

Dollar Tree, cut and covered

the cans. Then I poked holes

in the tops, ran jute 

through them, tied a bell

on the end and now I have 

some cool chimes/

porch decor. 

In the last two evenings I 

managed to get a couple

of extra stuff done. Not much 

of anything else, but I did 

get a tension rod hung in the 

washroom to hang clothes

on. That required a drill with 

the screwdriver bit on it, 

some brackets I purchased a while

back just in case the tension 

did not hold well. I managed 

to get that done without falling

off the step stool.

haha

Last night, I hung a shelve

over my bed, and decorated it.

You see, I am redoing my 

bedroom. WHAT?

Yep, you read that right.

This is what it looked

like when I moved in.

Later I added these above the 

bed. Sorry, could not locate a pic

of what it looked like together.

Problem is, I am not totally a blue

fan. I mean yeah, it's pretty, but 

with that and the pattern on the spread,

it was more than I wanted for 

a cozy bedroom. 

Look at Lily staring at us all

on the bed!!

Anyway, a few years back I commented

in a post that you could not locate

throws, spreads, curtains, knick knacks

or even clothes in beige or brown.

You see, brown is not my favorite

color but it is my go to for

comfort and cozy in my home.

I prefer, off white or beige color

walls with beige and brown 

to put in the room.

Have you noticed on your 

outings the last three or four

months, that gray is out and 

beige and brown is back?

YAY!!!!!

I bought a new spread for the bed,

BROWN, 

and 

curtains. 

I made the thingys 

in front of the curtains

with sandwich bags at 

Christmas time. I love 

them. 

Then I changed out the 

paintings above the bed for 

a shelve and decor.

I have my brown back!!

 I am happy.

Now to finish decorating my

room, which I had not done

yet. Not all the way anyway.

If you notice, there are dark purple

tulips in the planter on 

the shelf. 

My color theme I am going with 

is this....

The blackberry, kurobeni, 

and copper moon...

In my terms that equals

out to a reddish purple (wine)

brown and beige.

It's a given, 

I am a wintery color

person.

What colors do you tend 

to lean towards?

Spring, Summer, Fall

or winter?
