Adventures in Decorating: Fall 2013 begins

 

 

 

I decided to show you the process my brain goes through when I decorate.

The air has gone to 55 at night at 75 during the day. I know more warm days are coming, but I’m ready to start prepping for Fall.

When I am planning my decor each season I start with a trip to the craft stores and some pinning time on Pinterest.

About this time every year the craft stores start putting out their Fall stuff.

This is the decorating board I am housing all my ideas on.

I also still need to clean up the basement and then properly sort and determine what I’m using this year, and what I might need to buy to supplement.

As I move through each stage of the process, I will outline for you. Maybe I make it harder than it has be be, I don’t know. But it’s how my mind works and decorating always relaxes me!

What are you plans or thoughts on all the new fall decor, burlap and other natural items appear to still be in fashion! I also found a 50 yard spool of wired burlap ribbon at Costco!

Can’t wait to use it. Happy  adventures in decorating Lovies!

 

 


Adventures in gardening: mid summer 2013

The bunnies have pretty much eaten the entire flower bed this year. They’ve had their way with the veggie bed too. Badger apparently has some of safe zone deal with them because The Destroyer found bunny poop in the yard today. And it really does look like tiny Easter eggs. Stupid bunnies.

My Dad’s favorite. And my 2nd attempt.


Adventures in clean eating: canary melon

It was yummy! Not as spicy as cantaloupe, mild like honey dew with not as much specific flavor.
