Tired, Reflective and Grateful!

Tired:

What a week this has been. Can we all say 'tired?' But a good tired it is....I have my craftroom/studio back! Yay!

Reflective:

Can you believe that it is almost August? Are we in a time warp? Fall decorating is swirling around in my brain.....even though I am running the air at full blast. Ha.

Grateful:

For all of you...my bloggy friends. How creative and inspiring you are to me. I have learned so much from all of you and really felt your friendship. I have been blogging for six months and have so much enjoyed it. Next week, I am having my first give-a-way. Please come back and join me in the celebration.

Have a wonderful and blessed weekend!

  2. Hi Barb! I always love coming to visit. Your craftroom is amazing I so love all your stuff. Wish my room was big but I love being in my room even if it is only 9X9 with three sewing machines and 2 sergers LOL. And tons of fabric etc etc. Have a wonderful restful weekend.

  10. I can't believe you've only been doing this 6 months! Your blog looks so classy and professional, I thought you had been doing it much longer. But you have such a great sense of style, I shouldn't be surprised!

  12. Hi Barb,

    It took me awhile to get down to the comments because I just stare and stare at the picture of your studio. Something new always catches my eye. You did a fabulous job and I can see why you are tired. It is in perfect order! It must be such a good feeling.

    I hope you have a wonderful, restful weekend. Kick up your feet and start letting those creative thoughts swirl about your next big, creative endeavor in your "new" studio!!

    xoxo

  13. Barb, I thought of you today as I was changing my calendar and setting it for August and wondered if you were getting the itch to decorate yet for fall.

    I love your craft room it looks so good you should be so proud of yourself. Now relax kick those feet up and have a nice iced tea this weekend.

  20. Hi Barb,

    Just checking in to say hello, and thank you for your sweet and thoughtful message you left me.

    Tired, reflective and grateful, is just the way I'm feeling too after a very emotional last month.
    Here's hoping this month goes much better!

    Take care my sweet friend!

  21. Barb, I started decorating for Fall today.....and thought of you! :o) I am keeping it simple this year, but I have my mantle done, and a few things sitting around on end tables. We actually started a little later than usual this year!

    That is some mighty scrumptious ribbon you have under that cloche, ma'am!
