Blue Monday- Things around the House

I'm linking to Smiling Sally for Blue Monday.


I always thought I had a lot of blue in my home. But then when I went to look for something to post, I noticed most of my blue things are winter items. I'm planning to let go of my snowman and other winter items and put them up in the next week or so. So, I have a few of those things to show before I store them for another year.

I just heard on the local weather that we have a chance of snow and ice here in Arkansas on Thursday and Friday.  I don't mind if I can stay home, but I always worry about having to drive on it.

Take care and God Bless!

Blue Monday -- Really

I am participating in Smiling Sally's Blue Monday. 

 This is the quilt I am working on. I really planned to have it completed by today, but things happen. 

 

Why am I blue? We had today off but have to make up a snow day. So . . . off I go to work.


See you later.


Until then . . . 


Take Care and God Bless.

Blue Monday & I Better Get Busy!

It's back to work. The weekend flew by and I didn't get everything accomplished I needed wanted to. I didn't even break out the sewing maching. I need to get my work finished during the week so I can participate in Judy Laquidara's (Patchwork Times) Quilt-A-Thon this weekend. 

Mr. Paramedic is still waiting for the binding on his Orange Crush quilt and I am looking forward to showing the finished to everyone.

Temperatures this week are supposed to rise from the teens and may even reach 50 degrees. We are all excited.  It has been great sitting in front of the fire in the fireplace and reading all of the great blogs out there. (That is why I haven't finished my work. There's no other excuse.) But now I hope my central heat system will get a break and not need to run 24/7.

This morning I'm participating in Smiling Sally's Blue Monday.

 

I posted these pictures to Between Naps on a Porch's Tablescape Thursday last week and decided to share some of them again today. To see more pictures of my winter tablescape, visit Tablescape Thursday.

These are the Cobalt Blue dishes I found at a small antique store here in town after Christmas. They were a bargain and I also received 25% off. You can't beat that.

I hope you have a great day.

Until tomorrow . . . 

Take care and God Bless.

Blue Monday and an Awesome Sight

It's not really a blue Monday for me I just happened upon Smiling Sally's blog and decided to participate in Blue Monday.


These are the blue slippers I got from my daughter, Kelsey, for Christmas. Thanks Kelsey. They are very soft and warm. (They are much brighter than they photographed and I did not use the flash.)

When I walked into the kitchen for good light to take this picture, I noticed this blue gift box that I received an ornament in sitting beside my snowman holding a blue tea towel. 

Then I looked out of my kitchen window and saw the most awesome sight.  A one of a kind sunset that will never be repeated. 

Is that not gorgeous?  Thank you, Lord. 

This picture was also taken from my back yard after making about a 90 degree turn. You can see that we got a smidgen of snow. It has been so cold that the snow hasn't melted in the low valley areas.

This picture was taken from the same spot but pointing the camera further up into the sky. Notice the position of the lamp post. I didn't notice the birds flying around as I was taking the picture. We have a lot of vultures that fly around looking for prey. Sometimes they come very close to us and land in the trees just over the edge of our rock wall ledge. They are very ugly up close but paint a beautiful picture as the fly around. 


Hope you enjoyed the wonderful view. 


Take care and God Bless.
