A Bit O' Color

We had an impromptu chili party the other night with both sets of grandparents. While fixing all the trimmings, I happened to glance at the uninteresting dinner table.

I like a beautiful tablescape as much as the next person, but time was of the essence.

I hunted down my Whole Cloves and grabbed the bag of clementines I'd just purchased at Meijer and . . .

. . . voila!

Teeny tiny pumpkins. They're not much, but a touch of color was all that was missing to welcome our dinner guests with flair.

And everyone ate their very own little splash of color.

The Home Team

Do you ever get bogged down with your list of "To Dos?" I certainly do.

It seems that since we moved in (a bit over 4 months ago) many projects have been started and not finished. It's driving me batty because I don't know where to start.

But today I accomplished a detail! A very important detail (in my mind anyway).

The kiddos and I turned Schnickle's naked window into this.

And I'm so happy. It's amazing what a bit of color can do to a dreary day. I believer her room is done. finished. complete. (well, except for the fringe that I may or may not attach to the hem). But for now we'll call it quits. I may go sit on the couch for a while.

Scratch that off the list and score one for the home team!
