Happy Valentine's Day!

        Happy Valentine's Day!

      It was another storm day here with most

               of the Island shut down at least until mid day.

                I am thinking there are a lot of roses etc. that

             didn't get delivered today as I

             usually see line ups of men standing in line

             at the flower shop to buy bouquets for their

       sweethearts. Oh well, there is always

       tomorrow but another storm is headed

          our way for Thursday so we are making

up for January now.

       I recently got this pretty tea set

       from my friend Linda. Thanks, Linda

I love it!

  I think I always share this teapot on

   Valentine's Day as it was a Valentine

gift from my husband one year.

 

                                                    I hope you are enjoying your
                                                              Valentine's Day!

                                                                             Thank you for visiting,

                                                                                               Carolyn

Storm Day Projects

  Hello everyone,

It is a storm day here with the

winds picking up as I write and 

lots of snow coming down. 

A storm day is a good day to get

some projects done so I was happy

to get the chair above recovered as

I had already painted the wood on it

and my husband was home to help with

the stretching and nailing. 

The chair will go in the bedroom we

are still working on slowly.

The chair was a thrift store find and

at $24 I thought it would be a fun

project.

It is hard to tell but the fabric is a soft

grey and cream color.

After finishing my project it was

time for an oatcake and tea.

  You can see the striped fabric better here.

The chair before and after.

As I was working on my project

I enjoyed the smell of homemade

spelt bread baking in the oven.

Baking bread is another favorite

storm day project.

Well, tomorrow is Valentine's Day but

it sounds like another storm day here

so I think we will snuggle in for another

day. I hear there is another possible storm

coming on Thursday....just think of all

the projects we could get done!   

So, what about you......what do you

like to do on a storm day?

Happy Valentine's Day!
