  Hello there!  I am still here alive a kicking…… I have been a bad blogger here lately,,,,, I have been having blogging block,,,,,not much to write about…… have not been busy doing much either,,,,, gosh I hope I am not the only one who has had this problem,,,,,,, for some reason I am having a hard time getting into the swing of things,,, not sure what the problem is…. hope it goes away soon… I have not even been creative,,,,,,,  yes it is true,,,, I know I can’t believe it either……

  I have been by to some of your blogs to see what you all have been up too,,,, I have been keeping up with our Sweet Sherry from Phoenix,,, I am so happy that she is home and doing better,,,,, Praise the Lord for that…. I Pray that she continues to do better each day……   So I think I am getting back to normal again…….. I hope…lol  I have been working on my Patio,,,,, getting some new plants and making it a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by….. I do love to sit out there when it is not too hot,,, it faces the west and when the Sun hits in in the after noon,,,, Wow!!!! it gets really warm…… but the cloudy days it is really nice…   I have some photos to share so I will stop  talking and show you…. 

    

I love this plant…. it is so pretty……

Sorry for so many photos,,,,,,, I still have lots more I want to do to it,,, but so far it is looking pretty good….   I am planning on getting a trellis so I can plant a Wisteria I love those,,, and it will give us some needed privacy not to mention the sent… mmmmm love it…. and I still need to get the window boxes to hang on the railing… a few tables,, and some tiny white lights….. for that evening glow….. the rug we brought back with us,, I love to have a rug out side,, it makes it much nicer looking…… it does need a wash though….you should see my neighbors when I am out there with my vacuum….. it is too funny…… hehehehe.   I have my four arm chandelier to hang too,,, just not sure where to hang it yet.. it is a non working one,, I use candles with it….   Well I hope you enjoyed my patio……  I am having fun putting it together,, getting my hands dirty….. love it,,, love it….  oh I have planted some tomatoes too,,,, they are doing great….. so this fall I will have fresh tomatoes,,,,, we are thinking about getting a dwarf fruit tree,,, that would be wonderful….   the weather has been amazing here,,, I have been to the pool and the water is really great….. I even found a new bathing suite,,,,, and I like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol  on me that is…. which is no easy task…… (wink)

  Well dear friends that is it for now,,, I hope you enjoyed my patio,,,  I am going to be paying you all a visit now,, I can’t wait to see what you have all been doing…….  I will make sure I leave you a comment to let you know I have been by,,,,,, I don’t like to visit and not leave a comment to let you know I have stopped…… so I hope you all have a wonderful week,, and that the weather in your area is as beautiful as it is here,,,,,

HELLO GORGEOUS;;;;;;;;;;

Good Afternoon;  So are you all having a wonderful week so far? I hope so,, the weather here is really beautiful, it has been in the upper 80’s blue skies and puffy white clouds…. Yesterday I went to the pool and laid in the sun for a bit then dangled my tootsies in the water,,, which was so yummy,,,,, not too cold….  But today I am staying home,, I am redoing my craft room,,, I brought back my book  Where Women Create….  love that book,, and I was going though it last night and found some great ideas for my room….. So I am off to do some fixing up….. I will take some photos to share with you all…..But for today I have a few photos to share with you from around my home….  I have been finding places for my pretties,,, finally… now I have shared some with you,,, in a later post,, and these are new ones….  OK here we goooooooooooooooooooooooooo--------

This is my sweet hubby’s Gardenia,, it is really blooming,,, he was so excited to wake up this morning and find all of these wonderful smelling blooms…. I am going to get a pretty pot for it this weekend….. it is a dwarf one so it won’t get too big which is perfect for our patio.

 

My Lavender,,, I love Lavender.. it is loving being out there on the patio… I am going to be drying some of it..

Don’t you just love the sweet blooms on them……….

I know I have already showed you all this Hydrangea but just had to show her off again,,,, It is really taken off…..

Sorry for the bad shot,, but I did try to keep the blinds closed so you could see it.. I hung this in our bed room on the wall between our bath, and closet. it is perfect there… this was my hubbys idea,,  he does come up with some good ones once in awhile….. hehe

This is on the wall at the end of our bed,, I am still decorating it,,, so this is what I see first thing when I open up my little eyes….. love it….  now I just need to find just the right Pretties for it….

This gorgeous long and big tassel my Sweet Sister bought for me a long time ago,, hangs on the pegs…

 

 

 

This area is in our living room…. it sits across from the patio door,, I love how it reflects the out door light, and in the evening the light from the lamp…

 

The candle sconce hangs on the other side of my Tea Cup shelf…. and my sweet pink Fairy watches over it all…..  Don’t ya just love her…. I do… I received her in a swap last year……

This is in our guest bath,,,, I love the lavender color with some tan and brown,, which is the color style I am going for… still working on it…. but it will get there.

I love my Rooster’s I set this up in front of my sink… makes doing the  dishes much easier, with this to look at….

I found this at the Johnny Apple Seed fall craft fair a few yrs ago back home…. I love it…  Its home is on the wall next to my craft room…   I want to make one like this some day,,, it is just a cut up old quilt with some pretties sewed on,,, and a sweet saying….. then framed…

My round living room table,,,

Tea cup yellow plate,,,,, pearls and a glass cloche… sitting on my light blue book for height.. looks pretty good…. so far,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I change my mind a lot..lol

I so love this frame,,,,,,, my sweet MIL gave this to me a few yrs ago. it is perfect for our Wedding photo…

Well dear friends I hope you all enjoyed seeing some of my home….  It is slow going,,, but it is getting there..  I want to thank you all for taking the time to stop by and pay me a visit….. I cherish each one of you…. and treasure each comment you leave….  I am so Blessed to have such wonderful friends whom I have yet to meet….

So until next time; God Bless;

Hugs;
