The long white strips of fabrics. . .
are bows.
Ten windows. . . two ribbons each.
Crocheted snowflakes gently flutter in the warmth of the kitchen.
Small poinsettias frame each side.
If there is one thing I realized again.
I like things balanced.
I like things balanced in sizes. . .heights. . .and weights.
I also like things balances in life.
With my time. . .I need balance in how much I work. . play and rest.
The last month has been about playing and "working".. . .
this week is about resting.
My beloved is in full agreement.
It's all good.
All for now. . .
So warm and pretty! After all you've done over the past weeks, I think a week of rest is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteYou sure know how to jump in with both feet! It took me until I read Judy's post to understand that you were talking about an actual house tour, and not a virtual one - no wonder you've been so busy with the sewing machine and greenery. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow very beautiful...and balanced! Enjoy your week of rest.
ReplyDeleteA restful scene now...after the work. The greens and bows do frame the window nicely.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young-er, say in my twenties and thirties I liked asymetical room arrangements. They had more energy and were less formal. I find the classical balanced look much more pleasant now, and easier to create as well. The wisdom of age comes, and it is good.
I agree...relax and just sit back, read a book or two, sip on coffee and enjoy your home this season. Kathy
