Pretty Funny Happy Real, but not in that order


Funny
I re-arranged the living room, again!  
I change things around so much that it has become a family joke.  


Pretty 
We have had just wild weather for a month or so.  It will be spring like for days and then a cold front with  freezing temps will travel through.
This picture was Tuesday -a very pretty weather day.
But another cold front is moving through right now and a hard freeze, maybe snow is expected.
In May!

More Pretty 
a stack of burp cloths

freshly sewn.  I think there are 29
Happy 
the shine my Marine husband put on these much worn shoes for  attorney son,
made that son very happy!
I don't know about current Marines and their shoe shining requirements
I think they all wear tan suede boots that not need polish

but old school Marines got lots of practice at shining up those black boots.



Real



a fall blouse that I started sewing in the fall.
but never finished.
It needs buttons, a hem and the trim sewn all the way on.

But I guess it can wait until September!

  2. I can't tell you how many times I watched my husband shine his boots! He used shoe polish and a melting ice cube and called it a spit shine. :)

  4. Your home is so pretty. I try to rearrange the furniture, but it always ends up the same way!
    My husband was Air Force (so was I) and was forever shining his boots!
    Love the burp cloths!

  6. Cozy living room - I like how you arranged it. There's some sweet little kiddos in that sand box - so cute - love the bald headed one - all 3 of my kids were bald!

  7. I don't know how your living room looked before, but it's very pretty, relaxing, and inviting-looking! Our weather has been like yours - very warm a few days ago, and now cold.
