DAY DREAMING

ABLE TO DECORATE IN MY HEAD.  Nonstop.  Rearranging furniture and items. Giving it thought.  Everywhere I go or visit, I'm decorating in my head.  A great way to stretch my imagination.  Cheap entertainment.  Countless nights, I fall asleep decorating in my head.    

In reality, a simple gesture took place.  The Tiffany lamp that has sat on a tier table beside my wing chair was moved over to the Eastlake table in front of the bay window in the Living room. The small Christmas tree was removed and the table was bare.  

I've enjoy having the lamp by my chair, but think it'll be in a better place for now.  I'll turn the lamp on in the evenings and early mornings so it not only lights up the room, but also shines through the window signaling that someone is HOME at the COTTAGE.

I like it there for now.  

With the weather warming some this week, Hubs said he'd move our Victorian dresser to the SHE SHED to get it out of the Dining room.  I'm so proud of our purchase.  A beautiful two piece we got for $45.oo.  

As the week progresses, I am working daily on laundry.  Last night while eating tacos, some of the grease from the taco meat dripped onto the cowl neck of my sweater.  Immediately I sprayed SHOUT to the spot and placed the sweater into the wash machine.  I washed it 4 times to get the spot out.  My wash machine is not spinning out the excessive amount of water.  hum.  The machine may be needing some work done on it.

With all the laundry I am doing, I may have worn the machine out.  We've had this particular appliance for 8 years without any work done on it.  hummmm.  Now isn't a very good time for it to need work done.  No time is, but it happens.  I'm wanting so badly to get caught up on the laundry.  I may not get my wish.  Shall see.  

AS I WAS DRIVING THE COUNTRYSIDE, I saw a Bald Eagle sitting in a field amongst the snow filled ground.  A rare sight to see where I live.  Beautiful sight to see.  Beside him was another type of eagle.  I should have stopped and took a picture of this unusual sight.     

Our day was a pleasant one.  Medical appointment in the afternoon, early supper, Hobby Lobby stop, Hardware stop and then HOME.  Bitter cold outside.  So ready for SPRING.  

I have hopes of getting more laundry done, organizing the closet before the week-end.  When this is done, I'll organize the main closet.  Organize the food pantry and under the kitchen sink. When I get all of this done, the Winter Cleaning will be finished before Spring cleaning comes.  

I'm day dreaming of SPRING.
About 55 days.  
Won't that be wonderful.  
Amen.

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
