Something to Blog About...

So, I must admit that I've been a bit lost recently for what to blog about.  I'm currently in the midst of studying for a professional certification test so I can get some fancy letters behind my name.  My head has been swimming with trigonometry, statistics, chemistry, federal regulations etc. and nothing very fun or creative of note.  But today I awoke to find the sun shining, the birds singing, and a Saturday with no plans!  

That's right, a Saturday with NO PLANS.  I'm sure some of your are aghast at this elusive creature; frankly, I was shocked myself.  So after leisurely drinking my coffee and writing in my journal, I decided today was the perfect opportunity to be busy around the house.  

And so I was... TA-DA! (As my little buddy would say).

I've been planning this grouping for awhile, centered around an old school embroidery piece I completed at the end of 2011.  I've had a few of the pieces for months, but finally got around to arranging them and putting holes in the wall.  Or, at least that's what Handy Dad calls it.  The women in my family call it 'hanging pictures, but not so that you'd notice they're crooked'.  Hence, the asymmetrical nature of the arrangement.  Oh - and I just like things that way too!  Slightly flighty, you know...  I still want to add a couple items, maybe something next to the lemons (a vintage find) and a small something next to the blue birds.  Overall, I'm very pleased with how it turned out and am happy to have it up on the wall.  And - I have something to blog about...


PS - If you look closely, one of the pictures on my mantel is a baby picture of me.  Lord, I had hair!
