New Sign for My Craft Room !!!!

Isn't that just too cute???  And oh-so-perfect for THE QUEEN!!!

Here is a great antique wooden file cabinet I bought for the craft room too:

And these are not in my craft room (at the momen), but by the dining room window in the sunshine:

SNOWMEN IN ATLANTA??????

Here is my Snowman Tree in the bar/tv/pool area.

And here are the many stuff snowmen sitting on the hearth:

And here is the pool table, covered and decorate for a party buffet:

Over and under the bar:

A friendly deer on the bar:

My very own personal stocking:

And this adorable AnnaLee stocking in my craft room:

My AnnaLee tree, don't you just love the faces on her critters?

This ceramic piece was given to me a couple of years ago by a dear friend.  Those are kitty cats all tangled up in the reins and it says: 

"The Reason Santa Chose Reindeer Over Cats"

Here is the necklace I made a couple of weeks ago, using some odd-and-end old jewelry pieces and a 3-row tile beads "rope" I was learning to make:

That's all, Folks!

Mama's Little Helper

I had LOTS and LOTS of assistance while I was decorating the house last weekend!

Christmas is on it's way......

I spent the ENTIRE 4-day holiday weekend decorating the house for Christmas.  Too bad I cannot take decent pictures???  I must have been on caffeine or something, these are all fuzzy photos.  Learing to photograph will be ANOTHER project for me AFTER I RETIRE. 

This is the "nature" tree in the living room, mostly birds and lime/bronze decor.  The "dead" butterfly on the floor was captured by one of the cats.

And this is the Christmas mantle in the living room:

This is the coffee table in the living room, made up of several miniature trees and evergreens, feathers, butterflies and anything else I could find to stick into it:

Stockings hung with care, in hopes that Saint Nicholas soon will be there?

The dining room table is decorated with gold reindeer:

And the dining room chandelier has evergreen and other decor stuffed into it:

The foyer carries the gold decor to blend with the dining room:

The Didkens Village is displayed on the buffet in the kitchen:

And of course, Baby Jesus has a special place in the bedroom sitting area:

More later of the SNOWMAN decorated lower level and my "helpers".

Where Bloggers Create 2011

 
If you would like to see some creative art studios, go to Karen Valentine's blog at  www.mydesertcottage.blogspot.com for the annual WHERE BLOGGERS CREATE blog hop.  Her studio is absolutely awesome!

Here are some pix of my studio.  First up is my "QUEEN" collection (since I be THE QUEEN).

 
 
 
My "studio" is actually two adjoining rooms, one is a sitting area with my computer and sewing machine and architect files to hold rubber stamps.

 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
Thanks for your visit!  Come back soon.

 

Our Home & His Pond

When the kids were here last weekend, Lisa took some good photos of our home.

 
 
 
 
Then our son, Tom Jr., sent some photos of his new pond (which HE built, amazing)!

 
 
So, don't you think HE should build a pond at OUR house now???  I certainly think so....

 

BACK IN TIME....

Over at www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com, she is showing some photos of  gorgeous old southern homes in the Savannah area.  Aren't these awesome?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
OOPS, that last one was not a house, that was her CAT!!!!

Wouldn't it be fun to live in one of these?  And dress up like Scarlet O'Hara.....well, maybe not that far.................

 

 

 

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday???

See www.stamping-ground.blogspot.com for other participants.

On my workdesk today is my newest Queen doll!   Isn't she adorable?

 
Here are some of the other "queenly" items I have collected.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sorry some of these are blurry.  I think I used the telescopic lens and macro setting at the same time - DUH???   And I'm much too lazy to take the pictures over again!!!!

 

SHABBY CHIC WHITE

I love-love-love the shabby chic all white/cream decor.  I don't know if I would get tired of it, but the look is so cozy and pretty. I guess you could change the look by adding various color accessories for various seasons.   I have always thought a total black-and-white color scheme would be fantastic, decorated with bright colored accessories?  I found these photos at www.marleyandlockyer.blogspot.com.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I just put the photo of the puppy in to see if you were paying attention???

 

Chicken Coops

Look at these adorable chicken coops!  People are so imaginative.  I found these on the blog at www.theartofdoingstuff.com.  The gal's boyfriend bought her some baby chicks for her birthday so they are deciding how to make the chicken coop.  That is a cute blog, worth reading, she is precious.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Also, you animal lovers need to go to www.cuteoverload.com again today.  About the third or fourth post down dated May 5 are some videos of new baby colts jumping around in the pasture and after that there are more videos of kitties "making biscuits" on anyone and anything which are precious!   Have a great weekend.
