Dreary Day

It rained last night and has been dreary all day. Since it was only 50 this morning
I built myself a fire. No, no 'love' fire today. DH was already out working on the
MIL camp by the time I decided I was either going to dig out the mittens to put on
my cold hands or break down and build a fire for myself. I did hint at him building
it when he came in for something, but only got a look that indicated he thought I
was nuts.  So what have I accomplished today? Very little. As you can see I've spent
a lot of time drinking tea today. I am showing my tea cup for Vee at A Haven for Vee
to check out, as I think we have the same dish set.

 
This is the other thing that occupied my time today. I played my you-tube 'autumn leaves' several times. It was really good exercise for me. I would hit play, run and put the toast down. Run back hit play again, only different pictures this time, eat my toast. Then turn on HGTV (no volume),
listen to 'autumn leaves' again. I put a load of clothes in the washer, back to hit play again.
Well, you get the picture! I did this at least 6 times, so I definitely got my arobics workout  done
for today and for once actually even enjoyed the exercise!

                  Jumping to a new subject.
Now that I have most of the poofy paisley quilted I am thinking about the picture arrangement
for over our bed. This is my inspiration. The photo doesn't do it justice. The background is a
wee bit more vibrant, minty green. I'm hoping to find a shabby, floral fabric to make the shams
out of. I bought a metal medallion with my initial on it in Michigan on my way down to the
reunion. It was from a old cooking stove made in 'K'alamazoo. Then I also have an old
floral wrought iron medallion that I plan to put my DH's initial on. So many idea's, but
at the rate I seem to move lately, I may have it done by Christmas! Are you working on
any home decorating projects right now? Or are you like me, always got some kind of
          an iron in the fire?
          Take care friends,
