SEEMS LIKE CHRISTMAS!





STAYED ABOUT THE COTTAGE TINKERING WITH THIS AND THAT.  Very tired so I was in slow mo.

Laundry, laundry, laundry.  Unpacked some teapots that haven't seen the light of day for at least 6 months.  Mind boggling that we have been LIVING here 6 months already.  It was like time stood still for me as I unwrapped them.  I'll place them up on top of the kitchen cabinets after awhile.  Once I get the step ladder out, I'll rearrange the pots I have up there already and make room for more.  I know I have even more teapots in boxes somewhere because I have some SANTA TEAPOTS still boxed up.  I suppose it will seem like CHRISTMAS when I come across them when I do.

I may move them to the glass fronted book case that's in the Dining room that's presently holding vintage casseroles with lids. Giving it some thought.














Above the Kitchen cabinet isn't pretty at all.  Eventually the cabinets will be redone, but not this week.

Yesterday, Hubby mowed the lawn before the storms rolled in.  The dandelions had gotten out of hand, but after mowing it looks so nice.  The rain will nourish them and they will sprout out once again.  Oh well.  Just have to keep mowing them down.

The pile of laundry I placed in the Kitchen is slowly disappearing.  I have to clear this space out then the boxes that are in the Bathroom will be put in their place making room so Hubby can do the tile work in the Bathroom.  

I'm not moving as fast as I think I should be, but I am in motion.  I rest a bit and then work some.  Repeat.  Repeat.  Repeat until it is finished.

The laundry and the pile of baskets in the Kitchen will disappear altogether this week.  
The Utility room metal rack will be cleared off and removed from the room.
The metal rack in the Kitchen will replace the Utility one because it's in better shape.
Small appliances will be placed on the metal rack in the Utility room.
The cookware that is on the Kitchen rack will be placed in the floor to ceiling cabinet by the Pantry.
The boxes in the Bathroom will be relocated to the Kitchen.
Hubby will complete the tile work in the Bathroom.
I will continue to thin things out so we are more settled.
The month of May will appear on the Calendar.
The Irises will bloom and I will walk amongst them admiring their blossoms.
The Lilac bush will be pruned.
The Cottage will continually be worked on.
A Walking Campaign will continue.
More veggies will be eaten.
Prayers will be said.
Graduations will take place.
Dreams will be dreamt and life will continue on the Prairie.

AS I GET THINGS ACCOMPLISHED, a wonderful sense of contentment comes over me and I feel refreshed knowing these things that I am responsible for are completed.  I can rest with a greater ease.



Life on the Prairie is where I hang my hat.  Praise the LORD.  His mercies are new every morning.  
We all need HIS mercy.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
