I ♥ Shopping - Lights Part 1

 Welcome to Week #3 of ...

This past week, I began looking for a few new lights and ceiling fans for my house.  The outside of my house is Grey and since I live in a Manufactured Home, it has white skirting.  There are white shutters, white trim and white doors [doors may be painted a new color when the weather warms up].   The outside lights needed to be white, to match the other exterior colors.  And I want a light that didn't have a high top to it, so that it would be easier to change lightbulbs.  This is similar to what I already have and it is hung where the top is quite a bit above my door frame.

I ♥ Shopping - Mugs

Welcome to I ♥ Shopping #2!

I've looked and looked for a Dog Paw Mug and finally found one that I really LOVED.  I've gotten mugs from Marie before...all of them [6 now] are beautiful.  She ships quickly too.

You can find Marie at her Etsy Shop...

My Snowflake Afghan - 5 Years in the Making

 About 5 years ago, I started crocheting the snowflakes for this Afghan.  I used Loops & Threads Dewdrop Yarn that has mohair and sequins in it.  I thought the sequins would really give the look of a frozen, sparkly snowflake...and it did.  Then I got Bell's Palsy and since my eye couldn't close or blink, I wasn't able to work with mohair yarn, because it would get in my eye.  So, I waited...and waited some more to get started - about a year. 

I ♥ Shopping - Candles Part 2

I ♥ Shopping - Candles Part 1

Candles - I love using them.  I love the scents and the ambiance of them...the beautiful light...the dancing flame.  Hmmmmmmmm...they make me swoon.  Then when you have candles with pretty labels, dotted with "sparkle"...oh my.  The beauty of it all.

You know me, when I decide I want something I do something about it, because

Are You Ready to be Dared

Late yesterday afternoon [Wednesday], I received a call from my Tile Man saying that he would be here early this morning.  With having to move everything off of my desk [because he's tiling the 2 - 5 foot walls behind my corner desk], labeling all the cords so I hook them up correctly, cleaning and I don't have a laptop computer...I was not able to post what I was going to write last night.  But, I'll be back on Friday.
