Today’s Plans

 

All is well here and I hope to post a video. In the meantime I have two almost presentable rooms to share from my house here. There were several events that left me too tired to put things in order, but as you see I made progress. I plan to  finish the kitchen today and start on another room. I’ll share my schedule with you in a future video. 

You might be surprised at this dining room makeover because the tablecloth and placemats were from the dollar store,

...as well as these cotton kitchen towels, 

And these cute felt leaf placemats. 

How do you like the red maple leaf pillow? It also came from the Dollar Tree. 

I was gifted with these two publications and I’ll show you more of what’s in them, on a video. 

Thank you to everyone who is sending me their text so I can get them back in my phone. Thank you also for sending one-time donation gifts via PayPal and post, to help support this blog and my home. It helps more than you know and is always an incentive to keep going!

Some Technical Problems

 

Hello Ladies,

I have been slowly recovering my homemaking after an extraordinary amount of activity, and making notes of things to tell you on video again. I appreciate those prayers for me to get the time to to that! As far as I know I can still post a video but I'm swamped with work and lacking time. 

For a few people overseas who are used to communicating on WhatsApp, I have not been able to access it it. I hope it is a temporary problem that will be corrected soon. 

For my family and friends, my phone says unavailable and although I can answer calls, I cannot send any and no texts come in.  Until that is solved, you can email me and I can call you on another phone if necessary.

There are other internet problems where my accounts are being blocked or restricted. Hopefully this will be corrected. Other people have had similar challenges.

For a little refresh, and to get my mind a rest, I have set up a table outside to look like some of the historic photographs I have seen with the cottage in the background.

There will be a better picture added later, with the full house in the background. I have to do some tidying up on the porch and other places for the photograph.

You will see my outdoor table with the house behind it, followed by pictures from Pinterest that are similar. Check back for an evening photo with the sunset mirrored in the window.

This evening scene is something I would like to try staging.
