Your garden will look so pretty in the spring with the bulbs. You "done good" with the new seat for the little bench, and plans for a pie too, a worthy project. Please see if you are still following my blog, I think you are, dear one.
I hope you are still following me, Janie. I would hate to lose you, but I am following you so hopefully will not be separated from you. I would hate that as we have been blogging buddies for years. I appreciate your sweet words about Mom's death. We miss her so much.
I love the doggie neckwear, and I like what you did with the plates and the footstools.
I am still recuperating so I am inside, trying not to over log and hurt my hand like I did the other day. I love to visit, though. We are alike in that respect.
Sending you big hugs for a nice weekend with your favorite guy!
Wow, the footstool looks so much better! I think it's fine the way it is, it has a clean, crisp look. The at Home with country book is beautiful, I love that look and I always need inspiration to pull a room together. Sometimes it is just so much help to have the whole picture to look at!
I love the pics of the sweet pups! I'm tempted to buy Holly a Halloween costume, but since cats aren't very fond of dressing up, I'll probably skip it. :) I make notes of my plants in a journal too. I write which ones did well in the sun/shade, etc. and how long into the season they lasted. It's always helpful the following season to see exactly what worked and what didn't. The vanity bench looks great! You picked a nice fabric for it. I still haven't found any fabric I like to recover my bar stools with, but now I think I may just keep the current fabric and paint the wooden legs and seat back white. It's pouring here now, so that's good. We still need rain desperately. Hope you get your bulbs planted soon. Take care!
Hi Jane, Thanks for stopping by my blog. We have a mutual friend in Melanie. She is a sweetheart! As for the footstool, in the future, if you don't want the sharp corners, wrap the foam with batting before you place the fabric on. I think you did a fine job. Pie sounds perfect for this rainy Autumn day. Have a great weekend. Penny
Jane, Love your doggie costumes!!! I have a collar costume for our basset and she too does not like to get dressed!!! I am planting blubs this week end too. My flowers are finally starting to fade as fall comes closer. Have a great week end. Kris
Hi Jane, I wish that I had the energy and the "knees" to be an avid gardener like you. Years ago I kept a garden journal and would take pictures of new plantings to see their progress. Now that we are living in the coastal area I find gardening is tougher so I'm sticking to pots and simple seasonal plants to fill in the landscape. Love the doggies outfits. My kitties would run like crazy if I tried to put something on them!
I noticed that I was missing on some blog rolls too. Wonder why this is happening!
Your footstool tuned out well. If you used a staple gun sometimes you can pull the corners tight and staple them forming a rounded edge. But I think the squared edges look fine.
Glad you are enjoying your fall. Good luck planting your bulbs.
Lovin' the pups Halloween costumes Jane! I really think a garden journal would be very helpful. No matter how hard we try... We just can't remember it all-happy planting:@)
Hi Jane... first off, I love the new pic on your sidebar of you and Al on the beach... so fun!... and of course I love Layla and Milo in their Halloween bandanas... I got Tessy one today with pumpkins on it... she actually has more Autumn sweaters and clothes than I do I think!... how nice you found a garden journal to jot notes down in... I could not get by without mine!... your little vanity stool you did looks great!... please check and see if I am still on your blogroll... I have lost some as well... but yours was not one of them... some ladies visit sporadically... or only when I visit them... so not sure where I am with anybody anymore... but yours always come through my dashboard... happy rest of the weekend to you... I am doing some fall housecleaning today while it is too cold to be outside much... always good to get that done... and lingering with coffee over fav magazines... xoxo Julie Marie
Oh I never wonder about such things other than to wonder if someone is still blogging...I am shocked by all those who are not and miss them.
You stay so busy and are interested in so many things. I'm glad that you'll be able to use the plate racks at home. And doing your own upholstery is pretty cool, too.
Gardening changed for me when I started recording in a gardening journal. I drew little diagrams that were really helpful. I record dates...the next date will be the first frost, which we have been lucky to avoid thus far.
OMG your pups are so cute Jane!! Your garden is going to look beautiful with all those pretty flowers in the spring! Looking forward to seeing the changes you made in your master. Enjoy the weekend:)
Brian and I spent the day cleaning out the entire garage, covering all the patio furniture and the AC, digging up a few herbs and planting them in pots and bringing them indoors, putting out some pumpkins for decor...we got a lot done! Watched a movie this weekend, then we were "bad" and ran and got hotdogs and fries at 9 pm! Darn movie had the main character eating a Chicago 'dog and we hadn't had dinner since we had such a late lunch, so then we were both like, "Now we want a hotdog", lol. I love the plate racks and plates in your bedroom; looks beautiful and serene.
Hi there sweet friend! I love the plate decor! AND you did an awesome job on the stool:) Great idea to journal about your plants. I did something similar when we built the house but have not updated it. Thanks for the reminder to do that:) Have a blessed day, HUGS!
Your pups look so cute in their halloween clothes.Layla has such a contented look on her face. The plates were a wonderful idea...they do add a bit of femininity to your bedroom. I thing the lamp with a new shade is perfect there. I have bulbs to plant too, but have had to put it off because of the same reason.I hope to finish up this week. Have a restful weekend.Sometimes we need to do nothing :) Balisha
You get so much done these days! You inspire me. I need to find out when to plant bulbs since we moved to Texas. It's still pretty warm here...yesterday it was a balmy 89 degrees. My summer plants are actually still pretty but the crepe myrtle leaves are beginning to turn orange. :)
I can totally identify with the asthma issue. My allergies are in full swing and it makes working difficult. I am allowing myself to be a little lazier than usual.
I too am trying to finish our bedroom. I thought I was just about there and realized one of the lamps is just not right in its spot, but I have no idea what I want.
I have that exact same lamp! I don't care for the shade, so I drape a lace doily over it. The plates in the racks look wonderful!! The festive collars the pups are wearing are just too cute. You are always such a busy gal, Jane. Take some time to kick back, and relax today. xo

I'm loving fall right now and trying to take in every last miinute as I know we will be leaving soon. If you can grow dahlias, don't miss my post today as you will want to take a look at the website I mention. Your projects are coming along. So much energy you have!
I love the dog costumes! So cute. Great foot stool too. :) Don't you worry about visiting, once I follow, I follow forever. I think it is very rude to unfollow. We all have times when we are busy and sometimes a blog will go a different direction, like friendships can sometimes do, but once a friend always a friend. :) Kit
Looking forward to seeing the finished room. I too love Christina's books and her style. I used snippets of hers and French General to give me ideas for our recent bedroom makeover. I used to hear from you, so don't know if I've 'dropped off' or if it's just you haven't seen anything worth commenting on lol! Hope you manage to get those bulbs in soon.
Yeah, Jane I'm pretty mad at you. I visit your blog all the time and you NEVER come to mine! Oops, is it because I don't have one?? Ha Just kidding with you, I love your blog!
Thanks so much for your sweet comments Jane! I'm happy to see what you're up to! I hope you can visit more in the future and appreciate the feedback!!! Have a great week honey! Kori xoxo
Layla and Milo look great in their Halloween wear! Your garden will look great in the spring, Jane. I think the garden journal is a great idea. I have plant markers in my garden but noticed the other day that the writing is wearing off of some of them - need to re-label them while I still remember their names! lol Your footstool looks great. You are very talented!
Hi Jane, Just trying to get caught up a bit. What a change since coming back from Phoenix! Love, love your little bench..you rock girlfriend, look at how handy you are becoming! I still have bulbs to plant too and I better get them done. Only one more week and then we can yak away! Hugs friend and see ya soon, Cindy
The plates are the perfect way to bring in little pops of color...good thinking! We are raining today and I even turned on the fireplace. I also am sitting in my chair with the dog and a blanket and don't feel like moving. This is how I feel all winter...ugh, I hope it holds off a while. I need sunshine to have energy!
Blondie, No wonder the dog is mad, having to wear cat clothes. :):) I love how your plate racks turned out. The bench looks new now. You are better than you give yourself credit. Hope you get to feeling better. xoxo,Susie
Hi, Jane! I need to heed your advice about taking care of business while the temps are still good. I have been busy trimming our many roses and enjoying every minute of it! I need to buy some more bulbs and have the gardener (Brad) plant them! His thumb is much greener than mine!
Goodness, you have been very busy. I know you will be happy when spring rolls around and those bulbs start popping up in your garden. Thanks so much for stopping by and following my blog. xo Laura
Have fun planting your bulbs, don't stress about it. Some how it all gets done.You did a great job on the bench, blog land does help you stretch your possibilities doesn't it? My mom always kept a garden journal, seeing yours made me think of her and put a smile on my face.
You are so smart! I really need to write down my plants etc.. I always forget what is what and like you my yard work is weighing heavily on my mind. It's still been kind of hot here, it's supposed to cool off next week, I'd rather do yard work when it's cooler. I love your plate wall too! Very pretty plates! Now, go make yourself a lampshade ;) you know they do it all the time here in bloggyland.
Hi Jane! Loving your tweaking. LOVE LOVE LOVE the plate wall and those plates are so pretty. I had to take my blog roll off when I moved to wordpress. I follow now via email a lot of blogs and bloglovin because it is easier that way. I think google did something and it messed up blog rolls. Enjoy the fall tweaking!
The dogs are adorable in their Halloween outfits. I am not planting bulbs this year, I think I have enough that come back every year. I must have gotten taken off of your blog list too-I never get a comment from you. For some reason hardly anyone visits me anymore-maybe I offended everybody! Hope not.

[Image]Happy Saturday! I hope it's a good one for you so far. It's gloomy and muggy here and I think we have thunderstorms coming any minute (of course I just watered the lawn). But we had a wonderful week weather~wise here, just perfect, mild fall weather. Our trees are being very stubborn about changing colors, but I had to pause and smile when I went to let the dogs out in the backyard yesterday. Through the window I could see the leaves fluttering very slowly and gently from the walnut trees. It was like December, seeing the first soft snowfall. So pretty!
[Image]I picked up a little something for Milo and Layla to wear for Halloween. They hate it, of course (kids!). Actually, Layla's is like a little jester's collar and is made for a cat! Milo likes to be "chill". I really don't dress them, someone gave me a sweater that I put on Layla on the coldest of days. Now, if I could knit...
[Image]I mentioned my spring bulbs came and I was getting a little anxious as the week went on. For some reason my asthma kicked in and I was getting breathless doing the smallest of things. I had to really step back and slow down. In my mind, the work I have to do outside is weighing on my mind the most because I feel November approaching fast and the last thing you want to be doing is planting or moving summer furniture when the cold wind is whipping in your face and your fingers are frozen. "What the heck was I doing last month?" running over and over in your head. Today I opened the box to see that it's only a partial order so I felt okay...15 minutes tops, if I do it before the rain.
[Image]I gave The Husband a little tour of the grounds last week (he was impressed!), but I had a bit of a hard time remembering which plants were which. Very few are blooming and none of them are very big. I found this little book in with my gardening books, it's pretty old and I never used it. I sat down and listed my plants and all the little details.
[Image]There are also a few pages for diagrams that I can work on next. Very handy. Once a journal lover, always a journal lover!
[Image]Okay, on to some good stuff. I'm still making tweaks and changes in the master bedroom. The duvet came so yesterday I washed my down comforter and I need to sew some ties on each corner. The duvet has them and this will make the comforter lay better in the duvet without moving around and bunching up. Anywhoo, I was still at a loss for what else I wanted to do to add some character, to add some "Me" to this room. I needed color, I needed pattern, I needed texture. I spent one evening going through this book by Cabbages & Roses founder Christina Strutt. I was totally enchanted and inspired seeing the light handed touches of color and florals bringing simple rooms to life. I felt myself sigh, not for having found something new to me, but for rediscovering elements that I've loved all along. All of the rooms in my home have gone off in their own direction it seems. The underlying cohesiveness is that these rooms are comfortable, cozy and livable, and they are filled with pieces I love and treasure.
[Image]The plate racks that I painted...I was going to bring them up to the lakehouse, then I had a vision. I went through a few stacks of mismatched china that I keep in the den and pulled out pieces that spoke to me; small patterns, chintz's, delicate pops of red and blue. I think it gives a decidedly feminine touch to the room and a bit of the old cottage look I love. I hope that I can continue to play along these lines with the little bit I have yet to do. I'll give you close ups when I'm totally done with the room, but in the meantime you can right click the picture to enlarge it. Oh, the lamp is driving me crazy, but we need it to read. I actually like the base with the crystals, I just want to find a different shade.
[Image]Remember this wretched looking excuse for a vanity bench I showed you a few weeks ago?
[Image]Ta Da! I recovered it the other day. How does it look? I found the fabric, a simple cotton with light brown flecks at Joann's for less than $10.00. I bought the foam there as well. It all went surprisingly smoothly, I'm just wondering if I should have trimmed the edges of the foam so that I didn't have such a "sheet cake" look? I am pretty pleased with myself as I don't sew and I never in a million years would have that I could recover this if I hadn't seen it done in Blogland.
We have a simple weekend planned, or you might say no plans at all! I haven't forgotten about making that pie...I'm going to "tackle" it again when The Husband is watching the Bears game tomorrow!
One other thing, while I've been a little slow getting around to visit all of you, I was really surprised when I received a few emails from some blogging friends wondering where I've been, if we were still friends...I felt terrible. I looked into it by going to their blogs and I found I was no longer on their list of Followers, so, they weren't coming up on my blogroll. I checked out a few other blogs I normally see pretty often and hadn't and sure enough, not following. I have no idea how this has happened, but I want you to be honest and speak up in the comment section of this post and let me know if you've been wondering why I haven't visited your blog. This could be the problem and I can then pop over and re~follow. Thanks so much.
Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Footstool. I meant singular, not plural. :-)
October 12, 2013 at 1:59 PM
I think you did a fine job on recovering the footstool.
I used to sew a lot but haven't for a long time
Love the doggie neck thingy. So cute!
October 12, 2013 at 2:26 PM
Hi Jane - I can't believe you journal your plants. That's amazing. I never even know the name of my plants - LOL.
Have a great weekend. The dogs look great in their attire!

Wow, the footstool looks so much better! I think it's fine the way it is, it has a clean, crisp look. The at Home with country book is beautiful, I love that look and I always need inspiration to pull a room together. Sometimes it is just so much help to have the whole picture to look at!

Have a great week end.

I love those plates in the rack..so pretty and yes it is cottage-y and you did a splendid job recovering that ottoman!
Enjoy your pie today !: )

Our friends were at the cabin for the weekend and brought their dog with them and she had a bandana that looks just like your pups!
I used to journal my garden stuff...or I tried might be a better way of putting it. Then I got lazy and everything went to pot.
The stool looks fabulous! If you want to soften corners in the future just put some batting around it, but it looks great as is.

Love what you did with the plate racks! With your neutral palate, you can change the colors with the season's or on a whim!
I would say that you are set for Fall...you haven't missed a (doggie) detail!

Hi, Jane! I need to heed your advice about taking care of business while the temps are still good. I have been busy trimming our many roses and enjoying every minute of it! I need to buy some more bulbs and have the gardener (Brad) plant them! His thumb is much greener than mine!

Goodness, you have been very busy. I know you will be happy when spring rolls around and those bulbs start popping up in your garden. Thanks so much for stopping by and following my blog. xo Laura

Have fun planting your bulbs, don't stress about it. Some how it all gets done.You did a great job on the bench, blog land does help you stretch your possibilities doesn't it? My mom always kept a garden journal, seeing yours made me think of her and put a smile on my face.

You are so smart! I really need to write down my plants etc.. I always forget what is what and like you my yard work is weighing heavily on my mind. It's still been kind of hot here, it's supposed to cool off next week, I'd rather do yard work when it's cooler. I love your plate wall too! Very pretty plates! Now, go make yourself a lampshade ;) you know they do it all the time here in bloggyland.

Your dog outfits are so cute and so are the dogs. You did a good job on the stool, yay! Love the plates, Janie.....Christine

Hi Jane! Loving your tweaking. LOVE LOVE LOVE the plate wall and those plates are so pretty. I had to take my blog roll off when I moved to wordpress. I follow now via email a lot of blogs and bloglovin because it is easier that way. I think google did something and it messed up blog rolls. Enjoy the fall tweaking!

The dogs are adorable in their Halloween outfits. I am not planting bulbs this year, I think I have enough that come back every year. I must have gotten taken off of your blog list too-I never get a comment from you. For some reason hardly anyone visits me anymore-maybe I offended everybody! Hope not.
