All the things Spring!

Hello everyone!

I hope you had a great weekend!  The weather here was absolutely perfect.  Warm and breezy.  I spent some of the day yesterday outside sanding an old milk can.  I got it painted, but just not sure if it is usable in the cabin.  I honestly believe it was once used as a target practice or something.  I just didn’t notice the damage when I purchased it.  Oh well, I’ll reassess this morning.

I also pulled the outdoor furniture pads and pillows out.  The cats seemed to love it.  

I guess I’ll have something new to vacuum this Spring and Summer. 🙂

Saturday was spent planting seedlings.  Lots of seedlings.  This year we bought a few grow lights.  Last year we spent so much time moving the trays all around the cabin so that they could get ample amounts of sun.  Not this year. Live and learn.  We placed them in the basement hallway, blocked off from the dogs, of course. Hopefully they will flourish!

Al spent the weekend working on the mudroom (cat room) in the outbuilding.  It is almost done!  I can’t wait to show you the finished project!

As promised, here is a highlight of my Easter/Spring decor.  I’ve had ample time to tweak things so, I’m now content to share them with you!       

I also made some egg ornaments to hang on my little tree and a few larger ones for bowl fillers.     I used that clay recipe I shared with you a few posts back.  Clay Recipe  I had a little bit leftover so, I went ahead and made a few stars for Memorial Day – Labor Day decorations.  This recipe is so easy.  If you have grand kids, I promise you, they will love making this.  Just throw in a few cookie cutters and the ideas are limitless.

Oh, remember my ledge in the great room at Christmas?  I loved, loved, loved the flow of the tiny trees.  It was a very smooth and consistent look. I hated taking them down.  Right now, I have an assortment of random things up there…lanterns, ducks, buckets.  It looks nice but, to me, it leans towards more of a disarray look.   With that said, I’ll be revealing my new ledge decor in the near future!  I’m still waiting on a few more items to come in.

I snapped this photo this morning.  Herc and Teenie were waiting on their breakfast to be served.    Herc goes in again this week for blood work.  Hopefully his white blood cells will have increased so he can get his second chemo treatment.  Prayers appreciated!

Thanks so much for reading.  If you feel so inclined, please feel free to share my blog.  The more, the merrier!
