Decorating project

So since the weather has been horrible latley and I am finding myself being more and more confined to my house, I am working on ways to make it more stylish, a few years ago when we bought the house, we moved in in a hurry and I had some health problems, so I kind of threw things togethor, now (4 years later) I am finally getting around to decorating it.

I want to punch up the color in the living room, we have purple overstuffed couches, that arent as purple as they once were but, once I clean them they should look pretty decent,

I want to go to Old Tim Pottery this weekend and Jo Ann Fabrics, to grab some damask to make pillows with. I have the green curtains and the gold bowl on the table, I just want to get some decorative balls to put inside, I can probably find some at the store, and the moss covered ones would be easy to make.

I wish I could switch out the ugly rug I have, it's pretty but worn and dirty, but we just don't have the cash for that now, so I guess I will just try to clean it real good and bring it back to life.
Below is my work up of how I really want my living room to look consider it an enhanced version of what I have.

I WISH that was my couch, its the same color though, so for comparision purposes, it will do. I will post a pic when I am finished decorating, and show you how it compares to my "vision".

Tenacity CONQUERED

This weekend ended up being better that I expected.
Hudson handled his shots beautifully, he barley cried at ALL, Saturday he did spike a fever and was feeling basically poopy all day , my poor bubba, but Sunday he was all smiles for miles, and laughing and playing. The doctor also said that I can take him off of the super expensive formula we have had him on since birth,and switch him to soy, can I get a (HELL YEAH!!!) it is HALF the price of his other formula. I just hope to god he tolerates it well,we shall see.
I tackled my “tenacious list” and got quite a few things done, just look below!


Hudson on Sunday feeling MUCH better!

Red Feather Boa Wreath I made for my front door

Valentines wreath for the back door that I made.

I also started working on my "egg nest" jewelry for the springtime, but I can't show you that yet, because it's not done yet PATIENCE PEOPLE :)

....but the point is here, I at least STARTED on it ;)

Since saturday was a rather rough day,The hubby and I ended it with a big ol mug of my own personal hot cocoa...mmmm....

Here is the recipe for it, if you would like to whip up a batch for your fine self!

This is the recipe for one person, just double it for two (obviously).......

2 tablespoon of Hersheys Cocoa Powder ( I add a bit more because i like it REAL chocolaty!!)

2 tablespoons of sugar

2 tablespoons of water

1 cup of milk( i use soy)

dash of salt

Cinnamon to taste

All Spice or nutmeg to taste

1 shot of Kahlua (any kind of dessert liquor works well, I also like Baileys irish cream and Godiva chocolate liquor)

Whipped cream or marshmallows

half and half for that added creaminess.

Directions:

Mix the cocoa, sugar and water in a pot until dissolved and you have a thick chocolate sauce ( you may have to add more water)

Add the milk, and the salt and let heat ,stirring occasionally, DO NOT LET IT BOIL, or you will get scalded milk (bleh). Once it is as hot as you like, add the cinnamon to taste and the nutmeg, same with the half and half, I like mine really creamy though.

Pour the shots of liquor into the mug, DO NOT COOK IT in the with the milk.

Pour the hot cocoa in the mug, add your marshmallows and or whipped cream.

and mmmmmmm......go snuggle with someone special.:) and enjoy!

Your are FABULOUS!!!

Love Heather

A tenacious list

I plan on spending this weekend almost entirely indoors, unless the weather ACTUALLY gets up into the 50's like it is supposed to, iImay take the baby for a walk.

Hudson has his 6 months shots today (Boo) so that pretty much means I will be sequestered in the house all weekend with a feverish little one. Which is fine, because I could not tell you how long it has been since I have had a weekend were I WASN'T busy.
I plan on finishing my red feather boa valentines wreath, and hopefully making more felt roses for my necklaces I am making, also want to start working on my little birds nest pins for the spring, and get up some more pictures on my new other blog "A photographic Epiphany".

Sunday I am meeting up with Miss Julia for a delicious coffee treat mmm!! Caffeine and girl talk!!! Phew! Do i really plan on starting all of this?????........well....probably not. but at least I can't say that I am bored! have a great weekend!

The Return of Love

Totally loving the return of romance to fashion this year. Pinks, Peaches, Beige's, Soft Browns, and even touches of black and lace, invoke feelings of warmth and love, colors as soft as cashmere,and silhouettes as sweet as butter cream icing.

This Dress looked absolutely fabulous on her!
These are a bit of a throw back to the Rococo era

How beautiful is SHE? She has really grown up into a elegant woman.

Because we are women....and we aparently stink..

Ok to celebrate the return of my (female happy time) yeah now YOU have too much info lol. I found these old feminine hygiene ads from the 40's MOST amusing lol.

Probably the most tame of the ads

Ok do you mean to tell me this guy is actually LEAVING this women due to her "feminine hygiene"? Look at the look of disgust on his face lol!!

First of all, LYSOL???? My GOD!!! And second, this guy actually LOCKED himself in the bedroom ( or locked her in the bedroom) to get away from her? What are we big stinky, ravenous monsters? OBVIOUSLY men wrote these lol.

Ok, can you just see this guy, at the bar with his friend "hey Bob, why so glum?"

"Eh the wife has crotch rot AGAIN!!!!!"

Ok I'm off to go douse myself in bleach and Lysol......
