I totally wanted to join in last month for the <a href="http://www.cuisinekathleen.com/2014/11/bundts-galore-national-bundt-day.html">Bundt pan challenge</a> offered up at <a href="http://www.cuisinekathleen.com/2014/12/christmas-table-challengeyear-two.html">Cuisine Kathleen's</a> blog! At the last minute someone posted a similar pan so I felt better about missing the opportunity. <br />
<br />
I had to make this month's party to copy cat an internet table! I pinned my inspiration table in my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/denisewest/table-escapes/">Table Escapes board on Pinterest</a> last year from <a href="http://blog.styleestate.com/christmas-decorating/2013/12/7/2013-christmastables-roundup-part-2.html">Style Estate</a>. It is just so homey, cozy and simple. Hers has a burlap table cloth, huge collection of jelly jars and doilies.<br />

This is a terrible screen shot of the inspiration! You can see it better on my Pinterest board?? (sorry Gals) She used simple greenery on her table but I could not get any that simple for my attempt. I wanted to use my Rosemary, but I can't use this much or I'll be busted. This is the longest my Rosemary has ever been a success story!! And, I live in a Pine Forest practically but they are like sky scrapers...not available branches.<br />

Here is my table. I took Bolt on a walk and clipped some berry twigs. I used my doily collection and empty, clean jars. I filled my jars with coarse sea salt and thrifted snowball candles. I was limited by the number of candles I had on hand. I could have used as many as she has. <br />

I added the Pfaltzgraff White Holly dishes because they were serene enough for the look. That was the inspiration for the berry stems. The texture on the rim of my plates is holly stems. I picked them up last year on-line deep discount.<br />

It feels so Christmas like to me. Like a soft snow-fallen evening. I used the table runner from World Market that Hubby and the boys gifted me last year. They gave me the placemats too but I wanted to keep the shots as simple as possible.<br />

Very colorful and modern & very much not the amazing look that the original table has. I hope Y'all can bear with a Blogger that can barely make it around all the new pop-up hassels and technology changes I blunder.<br />

I cannot wait to see what Kathleen puts up for the 1st quarter challenges of 2015! Thank you Kathleen for the fun challenges that spur us on to nest and enjoy what brings us joy. I have a few more tables to check out that were added in the last 24 hours.<br />

This is an image I took at the farm in North Carolina where we got married, and Hubby's Momma lives. It is a wonderful little lost oasis in our crazy..thriving...industrial...urban country. It is the kinda place to spend an Autumn week or weekend just walking the grounds...talking to God...listening to the birds, insects.. Watching the fields sway and the clouds roll thru.<br />
<br />
A lost art!!!<br />

I gotta find a Blog Diva to help me!! It is full on baseball season. I took my oldest son for his 2nd appt. with a Chiropractic specialist. I feel good about him because he is also an athlete. He explained everything he was doing to Jake. Jake is a Varsity pitcher and he is having arm/shoulder issues. He is on his 2nd week of NO game-time as his body recovers from a "micro trauma" (what the Dr. called it). <br />

I believe there was a special deal at <a href="http://www.charcrews.com/cartapp/servlet/category/charcrews/20/China">Char-Crews</a> before Christmas. I jumped on it even though I wasn't suppose to spend another $$. I think I got 25% off and free shipping if I spent a certain amount. That started the whole hoard!<br />

Did ya know that Beagles eat/chase/hunt Bunnies?! I love bunnies, they are everywhere on my property. So, since Beagle Run Cottage days, I always have my tongue in my cheek about beagles and bunnies. Had to have bunnies!! Thrifted the covered dish bunny several yrs ago.<br />

I had to put the duck in there? They had like 20% off at Tuesday Morning and I got small ducks. For goodness sakes...I thrifted the covered dish last yr. My mom has the ugliest duck lamp/planter that I know is olden and valuable. I laughed at it for yrs when I went over there... but now...I want it!! I have to have it for my Woodland set. I can just see it on the sideboard when I use these dishes. <br />

I have been working in the Master Suite since before we took possession of our new to us home 2 yrs ago. I purchased a found object for 1/2 price, $50 and off I went on my newest tangent.

It is an ornamental window salvage piece. My Aunt helped me add my favorite fabrics and find the right floral swags to intertwine. <span style="background-color: #b4a7d6; color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><em>I lurv it!!</em> <span style="background-color: white; font-size: small;">This all hangs above my bed.</span></span><br />

Once that was all up, I set my sights in our bathroom. It is white on white & beige all over. Hubby thought I was crazy but helped me recently with a curtain treatment. I bought the panel like 1 yr ago at World Market clearance for $12. It has been waiting in my closet for it's reveal day. <span style="background-color: #ea9999;"> I dug into my vintage door knob collection to hang the panel. We used a scrap of trim from our prev house as the backer-board.</span></div>

I am taking down the Valentine's banners I made this year and replacing them with Clovers and burlap. I have to carve out moments when I can during pre-Spring baseball!!<br />

I hit a mother-load clearance at Hobby Lobby after Christmas in their fabric section. I would have just pushed a cart of the rolled up remnants right to check out if I was a serious sew`er!! But, I am just a crafter so I picked a few out of each cart they had. There were about 4 carts FULL. I was able to make my <a href="http://denisemarie-bloomin.blogspot.com/2013/02/valentines-swap.html">Valentine's banner</a> with the glittered red felt piece I found. This is bright green terry fabric and burlap. I found the clovers last Summer on clearnace at Hancock's Fabric.<br />

I found a package of 10 glittery shamrock's at Kroger's clearance sometime? I love to find after event clearance there. Usually while I am getting Nate his breakfast biscuits in the frozen food section. lol<br />

Can't wait to replace the Val banners for them with these images being the centerpoint of whatever I manage to create. Oldest is a 10th grader pitching for Varsity today!! My 7th grader is SOooo nervous. They have yet to announce the final Shot and Disc Team!! We thought he made team but there are more cuts coming and he gets all worked up!! Poor Guy...Momma has been talking it up to him as his kinda events for a few years now. I need to fix the print-out but you get the idea.<br />

What a great way to start off the swap'n new year. I can only hope that my partner liked what I made her. I love what she sent me!! I got to meet a Mom of 2 lil girls in Colorado. Sarah Cody is the founder of <a href="http://www.storkologie.com/" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1360852254299_8538" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1360852954_1">www.Storkologie.com</span></a> and her and Hubby have an Etsy together.. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Stitches%20N'%20Twigs">Stitches N' Twigs</a> .<br />

I made my partner a banner. I have admired all the banners that are all over pinterest and blogs for a while. I have been putting 1 up in the breezeway between my breakfast room and living room. Mostly when we have a baseball party. I spun off of that idea.<br />

I used the prettiest clothespins I have ever seen. Got them at Michael's. I placed a sachet right in the middle of the banner. It is filled with aromatic Lavender. Her business and passion led me to this. I hope when she opened the package..it was a great smell that hit her 1st. I used strips of fabric like I see so many peeps doing and tied them on like I usually do ribbons.<br />

She loves dragonflies so I added a few and some heart buttons. I hope you can see the bunny butt. I glued the lil pom pom on there hoping her lil girls will see it. She loves bunnies like I do.<br />

I'm always trying to help my youngest display his marbles and rocks. He still loves them. I was at Goodwill the week before his birthday in January and spied this golf ball display cabinet for $14.99. I knew it had to come home to Momma. I knew he'd love it!!<br />
<br />
He ran it right up stairs and prominently displayed it on his bookshelf unit near his bed. <br />
<br />
U totally Rock..have a great Valentine's Week!!<br />

This is the wall I'll feast my eyes upon as I walk by to sit at my stool at the craft table. I love olden china pieces I can find for a buck or 2..even $5. I have collected all of this over 20 yrs. I am still on the hunt for a box burried in the garage with the last bits of my china pieces that were on a wall in my previous craft room. I can't wait to find it all so I can finalize a few spots thru-out my home. I will add until there is no space left here.<br />
<br />
Wanna get close up to a few walls?? No...I do not have time for this!! lol<br />

This is what I see if I look towards the entry way when the boys holler...MOM?! I also get a kink in my neck at the computer when they Holler...Mom.where are you? And, I jerk my neck from the computer that is on the wall next to/under this wall. <br />

Look at this..is it SWEET or what? <em><span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;"> It was my Hubby's lunch box at some point.</span></em> It did have 1/2 of the handle on it but it literally crumbled off. Wow...talk about Old School!..<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">Vintage!!</span> They have gone from metal to plastic to nylon thru the years.

Got this from a sweet Blogger but I have not seen her anywhere lately. I was collecting black and cream Toile for quite a while. Same reason I have the Toile clock to admire right in the middle of this display. <br />

Do you<span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"> LOVE vintage post cards</span> as much as I do? OMG, I can spend too much time at Antique Malls pouring over every single 1 to get my favs..even when there is no a/c. This has a special cover on it..hence the glare. It reads Happy New Year in glittery letters with a purple bloom. I have a set of 2 round framed prints of Beagles that I covered over with scrapbook paper and added fav post cards.<br />

And...behind my head would be this platter. I have it front and center. I got it junking after Christmas for $2. It reads Joy to the World. I thought it a great reminder of my Christmas blog and inspirational for Memes and give-aways and swaps.<br />
<br />
I'm sure there will be more to share soon. Now...where is that box???<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #ea9999;">edit: I did complete my banner...Yay! Will share that soon too.</span><br />

If you love her too...You recognize her packaging that matches her newest header. Sweet lil Bee tag buzz'n by. She included a recipe from her home (isn't that the coolest idea?) and a note for me. <br />

1 of the things I'm doing when I send out Valentines is send a set of Spring flower seeds to my Grandma in Oklahoma and MIL in North Carolina. I got the seed packets 4/$1. I can't send my Grandma in Massachusetts a set because she is in the middle of moving homes with my Aunt. They get to move Coastal.</div>

I had gone thru a large number of boxes from my craft room and we threw stuff away. Hubby made me part with gift bags that were worse for wear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I let them go but not before carefully cutting their bag handles off so I could salvage them. Here is a pair of those bag handles perfectly used as closure for my new pillow roll.</div>

How fun for Y'all...a peek inside my Laundry Room. lol<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am feeling too much winter in the air. I have a few candles burning and the fire going. Let's rev up the laundry to try to warm things up. The sun was out all day Wed!!!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8zb6p0XMMkg/UPblyYFXftI/AAAAAAAAD38/ym4hL9usP7Q/s1600/2013-01-16+11.31.08.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8zb6p0XMMkg/UPblyYFXftI/AAAAAAAAD38/ym4hL9usP7Q/s320/2013-01-16+11.31.08.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I know you will love my lil laundry line. Isn't it sweet. Love the quilt and apron. Craft show years ago.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This vignette is near the light switch. My MIL says this...<span style="background-color: #f4cccc; color: #990000; font-size: large;">It'll all come out in the wash</span>. So, I had to get the saying up on this wall asap...tongue in cheek!!</div>

This is my eye candy. <br />
This is looking straight into the room. Stitch works I haven't got the heart to part with yet and a reminder to pray plaque. See my <span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Vintage Thingy</span> <span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">VICE CLAMP</span>?! It is a junk shop find...another tongue in cheek reminder that life is messy, clean it up!! Pressure can make ya pop or you can ride it out and rejoice when it is over.<br />
I'll show ya more once I've cleaned up the shelves and counter top above my machines. Of course, it is on my long list of spruce up Winter projects. <br />
