I have been so busy lately it's all I can do to blog for Thursdays! We have 5 family birthdays in May, My son built a new home and Mothers Day is soon. Lots of gift planning.
Please join me at Lee Anna's siteNot Afraid of Color to see all of the positive vibes.
Here are my faves today:
1. Pretty, comfy, cotton p.j's for the summer. It gets so hot here you barely want clothes on. But, I cannot seem to purchase anything in the stores that fit, so I made a pair. I just took a pair of knit ones, drew lines around the seams for a front and back while adding 2 inches and just sewed everything together! I added soft elastic in the waist band -done and done. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures. It's not like I didn't have pretty fabric in the stash.
2.The month of May. First of all (literally) it's my birthday, Mother's Day, other family birthdays, flowers are in bloom till they die in June, graduations, and just all around nice times.
3. My new Queen's chair. So, there's a story about this. I'm a frugal person most times and I'm on a fixed income since retirement, so I'm pretty careful with money. BUT, lately I've seen a few websites showing small comfortable patios with lovely plants, a pretty big comfy chair, pillows, ladies lounging with a good book......... You get the idea. Anyway, I like my patio but I never spend time out there. So I purchased a high- back white wicker chair! I also got new throws and pillows. All from the At Home store. I love this and can now sit out there very early in AM (sunrise at about 5:30) and enjoy the sights, smells and sounds while meditating and reading for about an hour. What a luxury:
4. My little baby Zinnia's. I started them from seed with plastic wrap over the top about a month ago. I have lots! so, I'm babying them along. So cute.
Well, that's all for today but I hope you have enjoyed the view. Join Lee Anna for more.
Have a great day. May the fourth be with you!

Hey May baby! Me too, my birthday is coming right up. May babies are the best lol! I love a wicker chair. I love them so much. I can just feel yours in the morning, enjoying the start to the day. And watching plants grow is a quiet joy. Checking on them and seeing new leaves... it's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I'm visiting my mom in AZ, I try to take advantage of her patio, and usually early morning is the best time. Glad you found a way to enjoy yours! I love your new chair!
ReplyDeleteI agree that sitting on a pretty patio in a comfy chair is just about heaven. I'm doing it right now!
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of May birthdays, too. My daughter, twin grandchildren, my brother and niece.
ReplyDeleteI have zinnia seeds that haven't been planted. I nedd to find them and get them started. Too early to plant outside here.

Hello, fellow Arizonan! Like the idea of comfy patio chairs but they get so dusty and dirty...great solution you offered. Thanks. I can hardly wait for the 103 temp tomorrow. Actually, I think it's 102 now.
ReplyDeleteMary your wicker chair and time spent sitting in it outside is just the best thing. I can hear the contentment in your voice. I have one too but too wet and cool just yet to use it. I love your idea of the shower curtain to cover it. Making pj's is a pretty clever thing too!
