Pain in the Neck

This is me for the last 2 days. Wait, I know what you're thinking. I'm not the happy, cooking housewife. What am I referring to is the appearance of her having a stiff neck. It is very unnatural to have a stiff neck and pain. I feel like a robot.

I did hold my head upright enough to list this cottage. It wasn't easy.

I love how the pink and green go together. It reminds me of spring.

I will not be terribly upset if this cottage does not sell...just sayin'.

On the other hand, I will be terribly upset if this neck pain doesn't subside by tomorrow.
Ibuprofen, water, heating pad, and ice pack are my best friends today.

Hope you're having a fabulous day,

Julie

It's fr fr freezing...

Baby, it's cold outside. After an unusually warm start of winter, we are finally feeling the chill! Today's temperatures are a high of 15.

Time to post these cuties that I finished up last weekend. This Raggedy Ann colored cottage is for my sister. She decorates her tree for Valentines in Ann & Andy.


A sweet aqua and pink duo. These colors always remind me of cotton candy.

A new twist on Valentine colors. Red and Aqua really pop.

Two more Valentine cottages in traditional colors and shape.

Happy Valentine's Day..mwahhhh,

Julie

Just in time for Valentines

With not a minute to spare. The little pink lighted tree is loaded with Valentine goodies.
It may even be overloaded...but can you have too many pretties and sweets?
My heart from E...very special to my heart.

One of my pink lovebirds. Can you see the pipe cleaner garland?



One of my small cupcake cottage ornaments...sugary sweet for sure~

A variegated pom pom with rick rack hanger.


I love those milky white glass bulbs. Also added some vintage ribbon still on wooden spools.


I spy a red glitter lollipop in the background :)


Wooden Cherries hiding in the back.

Lots of goodies right there ^


Purchased those glittery puffy hearts from Dollar Tree...8 in a pack. They will appear again on this post.

And there are more glittery puffy hearts. Used some sea salt I had hanging around in the pantry for years to a pretty glass vase. A pretty pink polka dot ribbon ties it up. The Vintage Valentine cupid clown is from Mary. You have to see her collections.



2 more pink trees that I boxed back up..need more Valentine goodies to fill them up~


Some red ceramic cardinals to top off the shelf <3


Happy Valentine's Day Weekend,

Julie

Pastel Doily Garland

Sassy Sanctuary is where I saw this Pastel Doily Valentine Garland...Easy Peasy. I had all the materials so I whipped one up in under an hour!!

All this prettiness while I was watching the Super Bowl...I can multitask! I added beads in between my hearts on this one:

This is my garland. Taking one to work to decorate my office window and the other one is going to a friend.

The Blizzard of 2011 is now behind us. I have been off work for a entire week. Two days for sick days and the other 3 for Blizzard days.


The drift in front of the house is about 3.5 feet tall. I'm not sure when we will see our front sidewalk again...our snow blower broke doing the driveway.

Have a great and warm week,

will you be mine?

Ever since Christmas season has passed I have turned my energy to Valentine's Day. I have not decorated for Valentine's Day yet but I am crafting up a flurry of hearts. Midwest winter is relentless and I have to keep my mind and fingers busy.


I am officially starting my running routine tomorrow. I haven't done any physical exercise since early December. So, tomorrow is the day snow or shine!


You can find these sweet cupcake cottages in my shop.



I have tomorrow off for Martin Luther King Day...no pay..but will be enjoying the day shopping with my sister nonetheless. Photo Courtesy of Things That Make me Like America.

What an impact this speech has had for civil rights.

Enjoy your week, Sweets!

The Pink Chicks

Just saying...I have listed 4 pink sweeties in my shop.

A few more Valentine items and yes a few glitter cottages for Valentine's day should be listed this weekend also...crossing my fingers.

Happy Saturday,
