Thank You


I wanted to thank you all for all the nice comments and emails that I've received over the last couple of days. Hearing from visitors always makes me smile:) I am working on replying to these lovely emails and it's taking me a little longer than I prefer! You see, our home computer is in our office/sunroom. It isn't cooled or heated in there (yet another future project!) and I find myself shivering to the bone when I try to get anything done on that computer in the winter. So, I've been waiting until later at night when the house is quiet, the kids are tucked in bed, and I can use hubs laptop when he returns home from work. I do try to read my mail during the day, though (wrapped up in a blanket, no less), and then respond in the evening by the comfort of a warm and cozy fire. I'm quite longwinded, as you know, so I manage to get a small handful of emails off in an evening. What's the saying? It's quality, not quantity, that counts? Thank you all for your patience. I really appreciate all your thoughts and comments!

Last week, the temperatures here were in the mid-60's. My sweet little hyacinth bloomed in our otherwise empty flower bed like spring was here to stay. I just left her alone until the cold weather was at our back door. Finally, the night before the big freeze, I grabbed an old pot from the garage and replanted her. Now she'll enjoy being inside all winter, just like the rest of us:)

Hi Kim, I've been lurking around your sight for months--it always brings a smile to my face! Your house is lovely-especially the green and red. As for the lime green, as a quilter I've always found that different greens rarely clash with each other. The hyacinth sends hopes of spring!

Hi Rosemary! I'm happy that you stopped in! Aw, that's really sweet of you:)

I really love green - I think part of my problem is that I love so many shades, settling on one is nearly impossible! But I did find (I think!) just the right shade of green today. I've painted a large swatch tonight and will see how it looks in natural light tomorrow. Hopefully my days of searching for green paint over:)

What a pretty picture (as always). Today we had the second snow for this winter, no it doesn't snow all the time in Sweden. ;) Couldn't you find some sort of warm fan or something for your computer room? Or maybe itis just me who's all that Internet-addicted! Lol. ;) Have a wonderful Saturday! :)

Hi, I am a Christian wife and I really enjoyed your blog, thanks for sharing! I live in a small rental home in the south and I love cottages and the old way of life, the simple life!

How sweet of you all to stop in and say hi! Thank you for introducing yourselves! And Bev, it's always good to see you. Yes, hyacinths are lovely in every way!

Anna, Hi! I've thought about getting a space heater and may end up having to do that. They are all on sale now, too! Lol, I don't function well at *all* in the cold!

Thank Carol, for adding me to your favorites! I adore your blog and all your beautiful and creative ideas...to have such talent!

Hello, Christina! Yes, there is something about simplicity in this day and age (with our very fast paced and complex world) that draws us to it, isn't there? Thank you so much for visiting!
