A grateful heart ~
Thou hast given so much to me, Give one thing more, - a grateful heart; Not thankful when it pleaseth me, As if Thy blessings had spare days, But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise. ~ George Herbert ~Wishing you all wonderful and happy Thanksgiving my sweet friends!!hugs and love,Dawn

Such small things bring me joy!!
I've been working on our guest bath....and found a shower curtain at Target that the color was absolutely GORGEOUS but when I hung it, it just sagged and hung so strange.....and I just knew it HAD to go back!!!Well, I ended up at Hobby Lobby and bought curtains!! The same beautiful steel blue shade but so much more lush!!!! Plus look at this toile that I found at Hobby Lobby that coordinates so

Let's see if this works....
I found this wonderful bird mold on ebay. It's really designed to make ceramic pieces but I wanted it for something else as I don't make ceramics or have a kiln. I wanted to try pressing paper clay into each side, join the two pieces and have a beautiful little bird ornament....here's my first attempt! We'll see how he dries....I love his chubbiness ~I'm still fluffing ~ now that the bathroom is

It's good to fluff ~
As much as I love making things, artwork and treasures ~ it does feel good to take a break and give some much needed attention to our home. I tend to just make do when I'm in my creating mode but with the holidays fast approaching, my parents coming for Thanksgiving and staying with us, I want to have a cozy guest room waiting for them. This is the first guest room we've had in a long, long, long
