Valentine's Day isn't far off. I've had time to decorate a little more this year...since I have been cooped up during the weather and Joe's surgery. I didn't spend any money, however....just used the things that I had in the house. The mantle is crowded, but some things can't change there...so I just add a few touches of red...candy boxes, red candles and a few paper doilies.
My little woodland tree in the breakfast room is full of doily and paper ornaments that I made several years ago. I used to put them on some branches on the dining room table, but now that I have this little tree...it's just perfect for them. I left the little branches with red berries on the tree after Christmas.
I showed my felt garland...that I just made, on the old blog. Here it is again I really like it hanging there. I might make a few garlands for other holidays and seasons.
A candle holder with red berry wreath on the coffee table. I see that the picture isn't really clear....I picked the wrong one from the folder. There are many more touches of red in the house. Red is such a beautiful color....it's my favorite for all year round.
The Super Bowl wasn't the best and the commercials weren't anything to write home about. All in all a bit disappointing. We watched most of the game and in the 4th quarter I turned to my programs on the DVR and watched Downton Abbey. That was not disappointing. A rather good episode. I love the clothes and the grand way of living. If you watched...don't you love seeing the ladies with their maids attending them... lounging in bed with breakfast while the ladies maids gets their clothes ready for the day? What a life!
Today started with Joe going to therapy and my going to the grocery store. I have a crock pot of bean soup cooking.....we are playing it by ear as to when we eat. That's driving Joe nuts....he likes a schedule. Maybe some cheese and crackers for a snack?? I want to start my new little felt ornaments today. I'd better get cracking if I'm going to do all I plan.
Have a nice day and keep it simple,
Balisha
