Good Shopping Trip

I'm all about a good buy. And good design. I decided I wanted to recover my dining room chair cushions. So I went shopping. I found this green fabric that I love! Kind of bright and cheery. I'm going through a green faze. I read where your primary color in your room should be 60 Percent. Like your walls. Then next color 30 percent and then last your pop of color 10 percent. And green is refreshing and nurturing to your whole well being. Green is the easiest color for all of us to live with. Use green when you want to make your home welcoming and gracious. These are my new Canisters that I picked up at Costco. I love them. I think they have a Tuscan feel.




Then I went into my bedroom to make it feel more like summer. I took off the darker green comforter and lighten it up. It feels good to me. lol

I have to share with you this cute jar I got. I like anything with a lid. I got this at Marshall's.

I also worked out on the patio decorating it some with new cushions. Now I'm pooped out and poor. But it was a great day.
Love ya all with great color!!

Changed it again

I can't make up my mind. I have beige plates too. So I used the small green salad plates on top and beige cups. I might like this even better. What do you think??

Curvy!

Ok, I was browsing around online and checking out table settings. Yes! I know some things weird interest me. But they were using all kinds of different objects and had some great ideas. So I have so many plates and place mats that I got the bug.
I had just some woven beige place mats. I replaced them with these chargers that I had. They add texture. They I picked my standard everyday green plates. Cause I have to have my pop of green! I would have placed a salad plate on top. But mine are green and it would be too much green so I just added a fancy set of mugs that I love. The lighter color kind of grounded it to the counter top. Then I looked for napkins. Flowered? No, too much with the flowers on the mugs. So I stuck to plain green ones. I had found a cute set of chicken (of course) napkin rings. I wanted to put them somewhere so I just set them on the plates. I changed out my glass fruit bowl for a iron one and Tah Dah! What do you think?? It's a nice change.

Not sure if you can see. But I have other pops of green in the kitchen also. I was thinking........ I think my style is curvy. Everything I like has curves to it. The curve of round glass, rod iron, a couch or chair back. I think it just adds to being cozy. As Modern style is more straight lines. They can be mixed. Why not? Style is whatever makes you feel comfort and peace. Mine is earth tones with pops of green. And with Buddy and kids. Gotta have peace!

Dang Cat!

I was planning a nice quiet day at home. I needed badly to clean my kitchen cupboard. Organize the food. What a mess. (Yes sis I am a slob at times hee hee).I can't believe that I'm even showing you all this. I also had other spring cleaning things to do. Hall closet ugh. I won't show you that one. I think I need space bags. And bathroom towels. But I got a call from work that they needed me. So off I trotted.

After I got home with the headache from H___. Ibuprofen doesn't work worth squat on my headaches. I took good old Excedrin Migraine. In 20 minutes I was good as new. I then thought I would vacuum. Since I needed too. Yes I vacuum everyday. But if you had the hairiest cat you would too!! He got all scared again. He hates it when I vacuum. Well, he darted out of the living room to hid in the laundry basket again. On his way running, the big ole lug pulled my lamp over in the living room. Light bulb shattered everywhere! And the lamp frame got tweaked. The shade was here and the lamp was there. Grrrrrrr Here is a pic of it after I tried to put it back together. Don't know if you can tell but the fennel on top isn't straight and I can't bend it back. That Dang Cat!!!

After I put the vacuum away he came out like nothing happened. Guess I might have to put him in the bathroom before I start. He's so big and clumsy!!!
But I love him.
TTFN

~Rosey~

It was such a beautiful day. I was outside as much as possible. I decided I needed roses in the house. I have this pretty green glass pitcher. So I filled it full of different colors. They make the house smell Divine! And of course you have to have a chicken. lol Here is a close up of the roses. Notice Mom's stained glass butterfly in the window.

Then I continued on to my bathroom. I had a old hobnail glass cream pitcher I put some old fashioned roses in.

I just love this time of year when everything is blooming. So does my nose. Yep I have a picture of my daughter and grandson's in the bathroom. Why not??

Later that evening I made spaghetti. I'm trying to be more healthy. So I used wheat linguine noodles and Fresh and Easy sauce. Fresh Parmesan sprinkled on top. My salad was yummy too. My son came in and said yuck. Why can't I just make it like normal. But I said someday I won't be around to cook for him. So he should be thankful. He said he was sorry and thanked me. He's a good guy. lol Here is a pic of my Spaghetti!! Aren't the colors pretty! Stop and smell the roses and always with great color!

Well here I sit....... Another day I'm not needed at work. I'm really getting depressed. Trying to turn my worry over to God and keep my chin up. It's a gorgeous day. Thought it was going to rain, but no. Anyways had a good walk.


Last night I had to jump on the neighbor kids. They love to throw rocks and trash everywhere. I picked up a eaten apple core in my flower bed this morning. Grrrr..... When we were kids I don't remember being destructive. Even though we would get on our bikes and be gone most of the day playing. These kids are 3 or 4 and are out playing alone with no parents in sight. Aggravating!!! And what ever happened to people getting out and pulling weeds. The smell of grass being cut on a Saturday morning. Playing outside with your parents?? Parents sure have changed and so have kids. When you ask them anything they deny it. Or talk back. No wonder our world is like it is. No respect. Ok I'm in a bad mood. But I may be getting laid off. So I'm sad and on edge.


Guess I'm a grouchy old woman. Anyways, the baby birds are growing. They are getting louder and louder. Mama bird sits on top of my arbors and squawks at Buddy constantly. Even when he is inside the screen door!!! It's funny.


I had to show you this new juice I got. It's going to feed my brain!!! That's a good thing. ( as Martha would say)

Gotta tell you this stuff is yummy!!!!!!!! Then I made a bacon, avocado, tomato, lettace on a pita sandwich. Yum yum. Gosh I like to eat too much. But it was pretty!! And colorful.

While I was cooking the bacon I thought about my Mom and the way she would cook bacon. It was always almost burnt and all curled up. It was my goal as a new wife to cook bacon in long strips and not burnt!!! Don't know why I thought of her cooking bacon. But I love my Mama anyways. Some things she cooked have great memories. Her Fried chicken, Apple pies, and Thanksgiving dinners were the best!!!

Have a good week peeps. And always with great color!

Happy Mom's Day

This weekend was a joy. First on Saturday my sister and her granddaughter came over to visit. Alexis loves playing with Buddy. So to get a idea how big Buddy is. Here is a pic. We were sitting out on the patio enjoying the warm day. Alexis is eight years old.

On Sunday Mom's day my son and his girlfriend took me out for Thai food. My choice. It was soooo yummy. Here we are before leaving.

My son Brandon never smiles for pictures. Grrrr






Brandon and Melanie


Later that day I went over to my daughter's and had BBQ steak, corn on the cob, rice, and fresh bread. I have to say I ate way too much.
I have the best kids and family. Love you all!!
